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.
