Final Jeopardy Answer for December 6
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on December 6, 2024 is “Who is Morticia Addams?”
The clue is a bit more about knowing Latin, as the word “death” in that language is “mors” or “mortis.” Without that knowledge, it might be difficult to narrow the character down simply by the decades alone, since there have been many revivals of classic shows like the Addams Family. That said, the emphasis on death in the clue might help hone in on the horror genre.
