Final Jeopardy Answer for November 22
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on November 22, 2024 is “What is Paris?'”
The quote in the clue comes from the 1944 film Gaslight, in which character Paula Alquist is played by actress Ingrid Bergman. In the story, her husband Gregory does little things to make Paula believe that she is going insane. This is partly why “gaslight” has become part of today’s vocabulary with the meaning of “to cause a person to doubt their judgment, memory, or sanity through the use of psychological manipulation.”
