Correct response: Who is Rasputin?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

Even though he held no official position within the Russian Orthodox Church, Rasputin gained the favor of the Russian court through his actions as a healer for the son of Tsar Nicholas II, Alexei, who was a hemophiliac. In 1907, Rasputin’s “faith-healing” of an internal hemorrhage of Alexei led to his being considered indispensable by the royal court. Eventually, Rasputin was deemed as a threat to the Russian empire and was assassinated in 1916.

Since Alex Trebek’s diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer, many community members have been raising money. The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store is as well! All proceeds from any “Keep The Faith And We’ll Win” shirt sold will be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. To date, nearly $500 has been raised.)
