Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Literary Terms) for Thursday, October 1, 2020 (Season 37, Game 14):
In medieval times it was a long tale of a hero like Gisli or Njall; today it means any story of epic length
(correct response beneath the contestants)
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to abide by physical distancing guidelines and when you are not able to do so, properly wear a mask. Ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.
Today’s contestants:
Phillip Howard, a Naval officer from Santa Clarita, California
Preston Wilson, a sommelier originally from New Orleans, Louisiana
Mason Maggio, a songwriter from Los Angeles, California (2-day total: $42,600)
Preston is the first contestant since 2016 to be introduced as “originally from”; the rule that was put into place at the start of Season 33 has been relaxed in order to avoid the situation where every contestant is being introduced as from California.

Correct response: What is a saga?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
The literary term “sagas” originally referred to Viking stories, usually about migrating to Iceland and feuds between families there. (Here at The Jeopardy! Fan, this isn’t really a topic that I have personal experience with.) In Gisli’s case, his saga tells his story of how he was outlawed after avenging the death of a brother-in-law, while Njall’s saga outlines the Icelandic blood feuds and how minor slights of honor could lead to massive bloodshed.
The term was later co-opted to be used as a flowery term to refer to any prose story in general.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- I thought that Mason bet too much on the first Daily Double; it was definitely the situation for a $5 wager for him. It was obvious that he knew very little about the category (judging by the Triple Stumpers on $400, $600, and $800 in that category), therefore the smart play for him there would have been to bet the $5 minimum in order to minimize his losses.
