Jeopardy! is easily one of the most popular game shows in the world, having originally begun in the 1960s. The game show has stood the test of time and is more popular now than it ever was. This can largely be attributed to the show's offbeat nature and entertaining format, things that have become signatures over the many seasons and years. Apart from this, the final round of the show is also a major reason for its rapidly growing popularity.

Jeopardy! final solution - Friday, December 9, 2022

The clue and solution to the upcoming round's final question read as follows:

Clue: A 1975 premiere of this comedy advertised free coconuts for the first thousand in the audience.

Solution: Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Arguably one of the funniest and oddest films of all time, its promotion was just as absurd as the film itself. Donald Rugoff, the owner of New York City arthouse cinema Cinema II, allegedly paid two actors to announce that the first 1,000 guests who arrive at 11 am for the screening of Monty Python and the Holy Grail will receive free coconuts.
