Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category 19th Century Lit) for Monday, November 4, 2024 (Season 41, Game 41):

All introduced in the same chapter of a novel, Grimaud, Mousqueton & Bazin are the servants of these men

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Brian Frey, a journeyman originally from Syosset, New York

Lindsey Simmons, an attorney originally from Marshall, Missouri

Greg Jolin, a system specialist & accountant from Raymond, New Hampshire (2-day total: $50,002)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Greg Jolin ended both October and last week with victories, celebrating his 40^th birthday and entering his fifth decade with wins number one and two on Jeopardy. Today, he goes for win number three against attorney Lindsey Simmons and journeyman Brian Frey. One thing that I’ve noticed this week is that a large number of contestants are again choosing to be introduced with “originally from”. This is too many for my liking—I preferred the situation that took place between Seasons 33 and 36, where contestants were not allowed to use “originally from”. In my opinion, the return of “originally from” in Season 37 should just have been an early pandemic situation; with contestants from all over North America again, I believe we should not have “originally from” anymore.

Correct response: Who are Athos, Porthos, and Aramis? (the Three Musketeers)

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2024 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

Grimaud, Mousqueton & Bazin were the servants of Athos, Porthos, and Aramis in Alexandre Dumas’s 1844 novel The Three Musketeers. When D’Artagnan joins the trio, Planchet is hired to serve the fourth member of the group.

To me, the name Mousqueton—Porthos’s servant—would absolutely point me in the correct direction on this Final Jeopardy. (As of the original time of writing, without having watched the game yet, I am unsure if all three names are specifically required, or if the name of the group would be sufficient.)

Tonight’s results:

Brian $3,800 + $3,799 = $7,599 (Who are the 3 Musketeers?)
