    "I'll take Memorable Jewish Characters in Literature for 200, Alex."

    This miser beats orphans in Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist".

    "Who is Fagin?"

    Correct. It's still your board.

    "I'll take Memorable Jewish Characters in Literature... wait a minute!"

    That's right, let's wait a minute. Are there any memorable — genuinely memorable, Jewish — definitely, without any questions, Jewish, characters in literature? There's Fagin. There's Shakespeare's Shylock. There's Hemingway's friend in "The Sun Also Rises" — so memorable that we can't even remember his name.

    Ugh. We'll just have to change the category. Is "Memorable Jewish Comedians" available?

    Verdict: Sadly, a Jew.
