The question was
The 3 major western typefaces are Gothic, Roman & this one first used in an entire book in 1501 for a work by Virgil.

The Answer Italic (knew because of Virgil's book).

I got the final question right

I'm not a bad Jeopardy player but then I've been watching before Trebek

I was in a bar one night where it was on and I was the only one who got final that night - "Marie Antoinette" was the answer, though I don't recall the question now.

Did you see the other night where the two doofuses thought Dickens and Shakespeare only wrote six books each?

It's so funny how sometimes the final jeopardy question is so arcane but then for many of us it is so crystal clear we can't imagine anyone else not knowing it. )

I always dream I will end up on the show and the Final category will be the Six Wives of Henry VIII.

and the best episode of any Groove Shinny was on the topic of Canadian Novelty Songs (which included "Honky the Christmas Goose" and that god awful spoken piece that guy did about the American military back in the 1970s).

Sadly Johnny was born a generation early, many NHL players had to scrounge for extra money, many worked during the summer.

Johnny Bower sings Honkey the Christmas Goose

I started watching Jeopardy when it was Art Fleming and Don Pardo announcing! In 1970, I sat in on 2 tapings of the show in NYC. Met the famous Mrs. Miller who was always sitting in on all the shows, especially Johnny Carson. There were only about 8 of us in the audience, 10 max!! The studio was empty. I doubt that's the case today.
