The Final Jeopardy! Category Is...MUSEUMS

In a recurring nightmare, the puckishly omnipotent Alex Trebek reveals a Final Jeopardy! category that makes us reach for the nearest Potent Potable: Football Greats, Entymology, Slovenia, or something even more inscrutable–a category distinguished by its use of scare quotes–Aesop’s “Cables” (say what?) or The Doctor is “Inn” (“the correct response will involve a physician and a hotel or boarding house”). If only we had been among the competitors during a recent Jeopardy! teen tournament game, when in the show’s waning minutes, Trebek pointed to a blue monitor and MUSEUMS flashed on the screen.
