The Final Jeopardy! Category Is... Theater

Wager everything you have, because we're betting that you know the ~~answer~~ question to this Jeopardy! answer. The Final Jeopardy! category was "Theater" (we see you, fellow theatre fans) for the May 2 episode of the popular game show, now hosted by Ken Jennings. Watch how it all plays out in the clip above.

The answer reads: "In November 1864 John Wilkes Booth and his brothers were fittingly part of a performance of this Shakespeare play."

The play must have been a favorite of Booth's, as he referenced its historical source immediately after assassinating President Abraham Lincoln.
