Jeopardy! is an American television game hosted by Merv Griffin. The show features a quiz competition in which contestants are presented with general knowledge guidance in the form of answers, and should phrase their responses in the form of questions. The original daylight version debuted on NBC on March 30, 1964, and aired until January 3, 1975. The weekly satire edition aired from September 1974 to September 1975, and the revival, The All-New Jeopardy! , ran on NBC from October 1978 to March 1979. The current version, the daily syndication event produced by Sony Pictures Television, aired on September 10, 1984.
The NBC version and weekly syndication version are hosted by Art Fleming. Don Pardo served as a broadcaster until 1975, and John Harlan announced for the 1978-1979 show. From the beginning, the daily syndicated version has featured Alex Trebek as host and Johnny Gilbert as a broadcaster.
With over 7,000 episodes aired, the daily syndicated version of Jeopardy! has won a record of 33 Daytime Emmy Awards and is the only post-1960 game event to be honored with the Peabody Award. In 2013, the program was ranked No. 45 on the Video Jeopardy!
Gameplay
Three contestants each took place behind the podium, with the champions re-occupying the leftmost podium (from the viewer's point of view). The contestants compete in a quiz game consisting of three rounds: Jeopardy !, Double Jeopardy !, and Final Jeopardy !. The material for instructions covers a wide variety of topics, including history and current events, science, art, popular culture, literature, and language. Category titles often feature word games, word games, or shared themes, and the host will regularly remind contestants of topics or place emphasis on the theme of the category before starting the round.
The first two rounds
The Jeopardy! and Double Jeopardy! rounded each feature of six categories, each containing five hints, as if judged by difficulty. The dollar value of the lead increases over time. In the original series Jeopardy! , the value of the instructions in the first round ranges from $ 10 to $ 50. At The All-New Jeopardy! , they range from $ 25 to $ 125. First-round first series initially ranged from $ 100 to $ 500, and doubled to $ 200 to $ 1,000 on November 26, 2001. On Super Jeopardy specials! , guidance is priced in points rather than in dollars, and ranges in the first half from 200 to 1,000 points.
The Jeopardy! The round begins when the champion is re-picking the clue, which is probably from any position on the board of the game. These instructions are revealed and read by the host, after which each contestant can ring using a handheld signaling device. The first contestant successfully contacted was asked to respond to the instructions, disclosed in the form of a question. For example, if a contestant chooses "President for $ 200", the resulting leads may be "This 'Our Country Fathers' do not really cut down the cherry tree", whose true response is "Who is/what is George Washington?" ( Contestants are free to express answers in any form of question: the traditional "who/is" expression for the person or "as is/" for things or words is almost always used.) If the contestant responds correctly, the dollar value of the cue is added to contestant scores, and they can pick new directions from the board. False responses, or failure to respond within five seconds, reduce the value of hints from the contestant's score and allow other participants the opportunity to call and respond. If no participant is competing and responding correctly, the host responds correctly; The "last correct questioner" chooses the next clue.
From the original premiere Jeopardy! until the end of the first season of the current syndication series, contestants are allowed to join soon after the clues are revealed. Since September 1985, contestants were asked to wait until instructions are read before calling. To accommodate rule changes, the lights are added to the game board (not visible to the home viewers) to indicate when it is allowed for the contestant to signal; trying to gesture before the lights continue to lock the contestant for half a second. The changes were made to allow home audiences to play along with easier performances and keep the contestants very quickly from potentially dominating the game. In pre-1985 episodes, buzzer will sound when a participant hints; according to Trebek, the bell was removed for "annoying viewers" and sometimes caused trouble when the contestant rang while Trebek was still reading the instructions. Contestants who are visually impaired or blind are given a card with the category name printed in Braille before each round begins, and audible tones are played after the instructions are read aloud.
The second half, Double Jeopardy!, Featured six new categories of hints. The doubled clue value from Jeopardy! round (except in Super Jeopardy! , where the value of Double Jeopardy! ranges from 500 to 2,500 points). Contestants with the least amount of money at the end of Jeopardy! round makes the first selection in Double Jeopardy! if there is a tie, the contestant is tied standing on the leftmost podium first pick.
"Double Daily" is hidden behind one hint in Jeopardy! round, and behind two in Double Jeopardy! The name and inspiration are taken from the term horse racing. Only participants who unveil the Daily Double can respond to the instructions and do not need to use their signature tools to do so. Before the instructions are revealed, the contestant must declare a bet, from a minimum of $ 5 to the maximum of the score (known as "Daily Daily Double") or the highest value available in the round, whichever is greater. The correct response adds a bet to the contestant's score, while the wrong response cuts it off. Whether the contestant responds correctly, he retains the board's control.
During Jeopardy! round, except in response to Double Daily guidance, contestants are not punished for forgetting to reply to their responses in the form of questions, although the host will remind contestants to watch their phrases in future responses. In Double Jeopardy! round and in Daily Double at Jeopardy! round, the rules of expression are followed more strictly, with unanswered answers in the form of counting questions as wrong if not repeated before the host or judge makes a decision. If it is determined that the previous response was mismanaged to be true or false, the score is adjusted to the first available opportunity. If, after the match is over, a ruling change is made that will significantly alter the outcome of the match, the affected contestant is re-invited to compete in the upcoming event.
Contestants who complete Double Jeopardy! with $ 0 or a negative score automatically removed from the game at the time and awarded third place prize. In at least one episode hosted by Art Fleming, all three contestants complete Double Jeopardy! with $ 0 or less, and as a result, there is no Final Jeopardy! round played. This rule is still in place for the Trebek version, although the staff has suggested that it is not set in stone and that executive producer Harry Friedman may decide to show instructions for playing home viewers if such a situation ever happened. During Celebrity Jeopardy! games, contestants with a $ 0 or negative score awarded $ 1,000 for the Jeopardy Final! round.
Final Jeopardy!
The Final Jeopardy! round has one clue. At the end of Double Jeopardy! round, the host announces the Last Jeopardy! categories, and commercial breaks. During breaks, obstacles are placed between the podiums of the contestants, and each contestant makes a final bet between $ 0 and all of his scores. Contestants write their bets using a light pen to write on an electronic screen on their podium. After the break, Final Jeopardy! instructions are revealed and read by the host. Contestants have 30 seconds to write their responses on the electronic screen, while the event icon "Think!" music is playing in the background. If any of the display or pen malfunctions, contestants can use index cards and bookmarks to write responses and their bets manually. Blind or blind contestants use the Braille keyboard to type bets and responses.
The contestants' responses are revealed in their pre-Final Jeopardy order! scores from lowest to highest. Correct responses increase the number of contestant bets to their scores, while miss, failure to respond, or failure to express a response as a question (even if true) cut it. The contestant with the highest score at the end of the round is the winner of the day. If there is a tie for second place, the entertainment prize is awarded based on the score that goes into the Jeopardy Final! round. If all three contestants finish with $ 0, no one returns as champion for the next show, and based on the score that goes into the Jeopardy Final! round, the two first and second contestants will receive the second place prize, and the contestant in the third will receive third place prize.
Strategy to bet on Final Jeopardy! has been studied. If the leader scores more than twice the second place contestant score, the leader can guarantee victory by making a pretty small bet. Otherwise, according to Jeopardy! College Champion Keith Williams, the leader will usually bet in such a way that he will have a dollar more than twice the score of the second place contestant, guaranteeing victory with the correct response. Write about Jeopardy! Betting in the 1990s, Gilbert and Hatcher say that "most players bet aggressively". Victory
The top scorers (s) in every game retain their winning value in cash, and return to play in the next game. Non-winners receive entertainment prizes. Since May 16, 2002, entertainment prizes have become $ 2,000 for second place contestants and $ 1,000 for third place contestants. Since the show generally does not provide air tickets or lodgings for contestants, cash prize money reduces the financial burden on the contestants. Exceptions are granted for returning champions who must make several flights to Los Angeles.
Prior to 1984, the three contestants received their victory in cash (contestants who finished with $ 0 or a negative score received an entertainment prize). This is altered to make the game more competitive, and avoid the problems of contestants who will stop participating in the game, or avoid bets in the Jeopardy Final !, rather than risk losing the money they have won. From 1984 to 2002, non-winning contestants on the Trebek version received holiday and merchandise packages, donated by manufacturers as promotional considerations. The present cash prize money is provided by Geico.
Champion returning
Each episode winner competes against two new contestants in the next episode. Initially, a contestant who won five consecutive days of unbeaten retirement and secured a place in the Champion Tournament; the five-day limit was eliminated at the start of season 20 on September 8, 2003.
Since November 2014, the relationship to first place after Final Jeopardy! broken with tie-breaker instructions, producing only one named champion, saving their victory, and returning to compete in the next show. Bound contestants are given sole clues, and contestants must provide the right questions. Contestants can not win by default if the opponent gives the wrong question. The contestant must give the right questions to win the game. If no player is giving the right questions, other instructions are given. Previously, if two or three contestants were tied for first place, they were declared "co-champions", and each retained his victory and returned on the next episode. The tie occurred on January 29, 2014, the episode when Arthur Chu, leading at the end of Double Jeopardy !, bet on tying the challenger to Carolyn Collins rather than winning; Chu follows Jeopardy! Advice College Champion Keith Williams to bet on a tie to increase the leader's chances of winning. A three-way tie for first place only happened once on Trebek's version, on March 16, 2007, when Scott Weiss, Jamey Kirby, and Anders Martinson all ended the game with $ 16,000. Until March 1, 2018, no regular matches end with a tie-breaker; many of the tournament matches end with a tie-breaker clue.
If no participant completes the Final Jeopardy! with a total positive, no winners. This has happened in several episodes, the last on January 18, 2016. Three new contestants appeared in the next episode. A triple zero has also occurred twice in the tournament play (1991 Seniors and 2013 Teen), and also in the episode of Celebrity Week in 1998. All prize money (regular game, with one $ 2,000 prize and two $ 1,000, and play Celebrity, prize money for charity) is based on standard rules (score after Double Jeopardy!). In the tournament game, an additional non-winning high score will advance to the next round (but the three players with a zero score in the game qualify for that position if the score for non-winner is zero; all tie-breaker rules apply).
Special consideration has been given to contestants who can not return as champions due to circumstances beyond their control, especially when there is a long time between recording episodes. It happened for the first time in season 25, when Priscilla Ball, who won on January 16, 2009, was unable to attend the recording of the next episode because of illness; as a result, three new contestants appear in the next episode. Ball returned as a co-champion to play in the episode that aired April 9, 2009. On the episode that aired December 21, 2015, the returning champion, Claudia Corriere, could not return as champion due to work being offered in the weeks between recordings, so three contestants just play that day as well. Corriere returned as co-champion on January 18, 2016, episode, but was knocked out in a three-way loss.
Typically, two challengers participate in the backstage draw to determine the podium position. In all situations with three new contestants (especially tournaments in the first round), the draw will also determine who will take the championship position and choose first to start the game. (Players who score the highest in the previous round will be given the chance to vote first in the semifinals and finals.)
Variations for playback tournaments
The tournament generally runs for 10 episodes in a row and features 15 contestants. The first five episodes, the quarter-finals, feature three new contestants every day. The winners of these five matches, and four wild-winning winners, advanced to the semi-finals, which lasted for three days. The winners of these three matches will advance to play in the final two matches, where the scores of both matches are combined to determine the overall standings. This format has been used since the first Tournament of Champions in 1985 and was designed by Trebek himself.
To prevent the contestants from then playing to beat the previous wild card scores, instead of playing to win, contestants "are completely isolated from the studio until it's time for them to compete."
If there is a tie for the last wild card position, the non-winning advances will be based on the same rules as the two contestants binding for both; tie-breaker is a contestant score after Double Jeopardy! round, and if next tied up, score after Jeopardy! rotation determines the contestant who advanced as a wild card.
If two or more contestants bind for the highest score (greater than zero) at the end of the game (first round match, semi-final, or final of the last two matches), a standard tiebreak is used. However, if two or more contestants tie for the highest score at the end of the first game of the two-game finals, the tiebreak is not played.
If there are no contestants in the quarter-final or semi-final match that ends with a positive score, no contestants automatically qualify from the match, and additional wild card participants go forward. This took place in the 1991 quarter-finals of the Seniors Tournament and the 2013 teen tournament semi-final.
In the final, contestants who complete Double Jeopardy! with a score of $ 0 or negative on that day does not play Final Jeopardy! that day; Their score for the foot was recorded as $ 0.
Conception and development
In the 1964 Associated Press profile released shortly before the original series Jeopardy! that aired, Merv Griffin offers the following account on how he created the quiz show:
My wife, Julann, just got an idea one day while we were on a plane that took us back to New York City from Duluth. I pondered the game show ideas, as he noted that there was no successful "question and answer" game in the air since the quiz show scandal. Why not switch, and answer the contestants and let them ask questions? He fired some answers to me: "5,280" - and the question of course is "How many feet in a mile?". The other is "79 Wistful Vista"; that is the address of Fibber and Mollie McGee. I love the idea, go straight to NBC with that idea, and they buy it without seeing a demonstration show.
Griffin's first conception of the game used a board consisting of ten categories with ten clues each, but after discovering that this board could not be easily displayed on camera, it reduced it to two rounds of thirty instructions each, with five hints in each - six categories. He initially intended the event to require a true grammatical phrase (eg, just accept "Who's..." for someone), but after finding a grammatical correction that slowed the game down, he decided that the show should have received that correct response in question form. Griffin dropped the title for the show first, What's the Question? , when skeptical networking executive Ed Vane rejected his original concept of the game, claiming, "It does not have enough harm."
Jeopardy! is not the first game show to answer the contestants and ask questions. The format was previously used by the Fates program hosted by Gil [ CBS Television Quiz , which aired from July 1941 to May 1942.

Personnel
Host and broadcaster
The first three versions of the event were hosted by Art Fleming. Don Pardo served as a broadcaster for the original NBC version and the weekly syndication version, but when the NBC revival The All-New Jeopardy! was launched in 1978, the task of announcing Pardio was taken over by John Harlan.
Alex Trebek has served as the host of the daily syndicated version since it premiered in 1984, except when he switched places with Pat Sajak's Wheel of Fortune as an April Fool's joke on the episode that aired April 1, 1997. Renewal of the contract his latest, from May 2017, took his term through the 2019-2020 season. In the first pilot version of the syndicated version, from 1983, Jay Stewart served as an event announcer, but Johnny Gilbert took over the role when the version was taken as a series and has held it ever since.
Clue Crew
The Jeopardy! Clue Crew, introduced on September 24, 2001, is a mobile correspondent team that appears in the video, recorded all over the world, to tell some clues. Explaining why Clue Crew was added to the show, executive producer Harry Friedman said, "TV is a visual medium, and the more visually we can make our point, the more we think it will improve the experience for viewers."
After the initial announcement of the audition for the team, more than 5,000 people signed up for Clue Crew submissions. The original Clue Crew members are Cheryl Farrell, Jimmy McGuire, Sofia Lidskog, and Sarah Whitcomb. Lidskog left Clue Crew in 2004 to become a newsreader on the Channel One News high school news program, and a search was held to replace him in early 2005. The winners were Jon Cannon and Kelly Miyahara, who formally joined the crew starting in season 22, which aired on September 12, 2005. Farrell continued to record instructions for episodes aired through the end of October 2008, and Cannon continued to appear until July 2009.
The Clue Crew has traveled to 280 cities around the world, covering all 50 of the United States and 44 other countries. In addition to appearing in the Jeopardy hint video! , team members also travel to meet future fans of the event and contestants. Sometimes, they visit the school to show off the Jeopardy Classroom educational game! Miyahara also serves as a broadcaster for the Sports Jeopardy spin-off series! . Production staff
Robert Rubin served as the producer of the Jeopardy series! original for most of its implementation, and then became its executive producer. Following Rubin's promotion, the line manufacturer is Lynette Williams.
Griffin was the daily syndicated version of the executive producer until he retired in 2000. Trebek served as producer and host until 1987, when he began hosting NBC Concentrics Class for the next four years. At that time, he handed the producer's assignment to George Vosburgh, who previously produced The All-New Jeopardy! . In the 1997-1998 season, Vosburgh was replaced as a producer by Harry Friedman, Lisa Finneran, and Rocky Schmidt. Started in 1999, Friedman became an executive producer, and Gary Johnson became the third new producer of the event. In the 2006-2007 season, Deb Dittmann and Brett Schneider became producers, and Finneran, Schmidt, and Johnson were promoted to supervisor producers.
The original series Jeopardy! directed at different times by Bob Hultgren, Eleanor Tarshis, and Jeff Goldstein. Dick Schneider, who directed the episode of The All-New Jeopardy! , returning as director for the first eight seasons of Trebek. Since 1992, the show has been directed by Kevin McCarthy, who previously served as associate director under Schneider.
Current version of Jeopardy! employs nine authors and five researchers to create and assemble categories and hints. Billy Wisse and Michele Loud, both old staff members, are editorial producers and editorial superintendents, respectively. The previous writing and editorial superintendents have included Jules Minton, Terrence McDonnell, Harry Eisenberg, and Gary Johnson.
The show's production designer is Naomi Slodki. Previous art directors have included Henry Lickel, Dennis Roof, Bob Rang, and Ed Flesh (who also designed sets for other game events such as Pyramid $ 25,000 , Name That Song , and Wheel of Fortune ).
Production
Daily syndication version Jeopardy! produced by Sony Pictures Television (formerly Columbia TriStar Television, substitute company for original producer Merv Griffin Enterprises). The copyright holder is Jeopardy Productions, who, like SPT, operates as a subsidiary of Sony Pictures Entertainment. The right to distribute programs worldwide is owned by CBS Television Distribution, which absorbed the original distributor of King World Productions in 2007.
The original series Jeopardy! was recorded at Studio 6A at NBC Studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, and The All-New Jeopardy! was recorded in Studio 3 at NBC Burbank Studios at 3000 West Alameda Avenue in Burbank, California. The Trebek version was originally recorded on Metromedia Stage 7, KTTV, on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, but transferred its production facilities to Hollywood Center Studios' Stage 9 in 1985. After the last show of season 10 was recorded on February 15, 1994, Jeopardy! the production facility was transferred to Sony Pictures Studios' Stage 10 on Washington Boulevard in Culver City, California, where the show has been recorded ever since.
Set
Various technological and aesthetic changes have been made on the set of Jeopardy! for years. The original game board was exposed from behind a curtain and displayed instructions printed on a cardboard pull card that was revealed when the contestants picked it. All-New Jeopardy boarding board! ' is exposed from behind a double-slide panel and feature flipping panel with dollar amounts on one side and hints on the other. When the Trebek version aired in 1984, the board game used individual television monitors for every clue in the category. The original monitor was replaced with a larger and slimmer one in 1991. In 2006, the monitor was removed for the sake of an almost smooth video projection wall, which was replaced in 2009 with 36 high definition flat panel monitors manufactured by Sony Electronics.
From 1985 to 1997, the set was designed to have a blue background color for Jeopardy! round and red for Double Jeopardy! and Final Jeopardy! rotation. At the start of season 8 in 1991, a new set was introduced that resembled a grid. On the episode that aired November 11, 1996, two months after the start of season 13, Jeopardy! introduced the first of several sets designed by Naomi Slodki, who wanted the set to resemble "a very contemporary library foyer, with wood and sandblasted glass and blue granite".
Shortly after the start of season 19 in 2002, the event switched to another new set, which was slightly modified when Jeopardy! And the sister show Wheel of Fortune was diverted to a high-definition broadcasting in 2006. During this time, the event began to showcase a virtual tour of the set on its official website. Various HD enhancements for Jeopardy! and Wheel represents a combined investment of approximately $ 4 million, 5,000 working hours, and 6 miles (9.7 km) of cable. Both events have been taken using HD cameras for several years before they start broadcasting in HD. On standard definition television broadcasts, events continue to display with a 4: 3 aspect ratio.
In 2009, Jeopardy! update the settings again. The new set debuted with a special episode recorded at the 42nd International CES technology trade show, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Winchester (Nevada Valley), Nevada, and became the main set for Jeopardy! when the show began recording the 26th season, which aired on September 14, 2009. It was significantly renovated when the 30th season aired in September 2013.
Music theme
Since the debut of Jeopardy! in 1964, several different songs and settings have functioned as musical themes for the show, most of which were composed by Griffin. The main theme for the original series Jeopardy! is "Take Ten", composed by Griffin Julann's wife. The All-New Jeopardy! opened with "January, February, March" and closed with "Frisco Disco", both compiled by Griffin himself.
The most famous theme song in Jeopardy! is "Think!", Originally composed by Griffin under the title "A Time for Tony", as a lullaby for his son. "Think!" always used for a 30 second period in the Jeopardy Final! when the contestants wrote their responses, and since the syndicated version debuted in 1984, a rendition of the song has been used as the main theme song. "Think!" has become so popular that it has been used in various contexts, from sporting events to weddings. Griffin estimates that the use of "Think!" has given him more than $ 70 million in royalties over his life. "Think!" led Griffin to win Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) President's Award in 2003, and during the GSN's 2009 Game Show Awards , named "Best Game Show Theme Song". In 1997, the main theme and the End of Jeopardy! recording "Think!" rearranged by Steve Kaplan, who served as event music director until his death in December 2003. In 2008, Chris Bell Music and Sound Design revolutionized the music package Jeopardy! for the 25th anniversary of the event.
The audition process
Prospective contestants of the original series Jeopardy! call the show office in New York to set up an appointment and to determine initial eligibility. They were briefed and auditioned together in groups of ten to thirty individuals, participating in written tests and artificial games. Individuals who are successful in auditions are invited to appear in the program in about six weeks.
Auditions for the current version of events begin with a written exam, which consists of fifty questions in its entirety. The exam is managed online on a regular basis, as well as offered at regional contestant search events. Since season 15 (1998-99), the show uses Winnebago recreational parks called "Jeopardy! Brain Bus" to conduct regional events across the United States and Canada. Participants who answered correctly at least 35 of the 50 questions advanced in the audition process and were invited to compete in counterfeit games. Those approved will be notified at a later time and invited to appear on the show.
By 2016, manufacturers will not allow Canadians to register online, citing new Canadian privacy rules regarding personal information on the Internet. Trebek confirmed this to Ottawa Citizens in an interview. No specific laws or regulations are specified, and The Toronto Star can not distinguish the real problem.
Broadcast history
Original Series Jeopardy! aired on NBC on March 30, 1964, and at the end of the 1960s was the second-highest gaming performances of the second, just behind the The Hollywood Squares . The show was successful until 1974, when Lin Bolen, later to become NBC's Day Vice President of the Program, transferred the show out of the daytime slot where he had been deployed for most of its operations, as part of his efforts to improve the rankings between 18-34 female demographics. After 2,753 episodes, the original series Jeopardy! ended on January 3, 1975; to compensate Griffin for his cancellation, NBC purchased the Wheel of Fortune, another event he made, and aired it on the following Monday. The syndication edition of Jeopardy! , distributed by Metromedia and featuring many contestants who were previously champions in the original series, aired in primetime during the 1974-1975 season. NBC's afternoon series was then revived as The All-New Jeopardy! , which aired on October 2, 1978 and aired 108 episodes, ending on March 2, 1979; this revival features significant regulatory changes, such as the progressive elimination of contestants during the main game, and bonus rounds, not the Final Jeopardy!
The daily syndicated version debuted on September 10, 1984, and was launched in response to the success of the Wheel syndication version and the installation of electronic trivia games in pubs and bars. This version of the program has achieved greater success than previous incarnations; it has lived longer than 300 other game events and became the second most popular game event on syndication (behind Wheel ), averaging 25 million viewers per week. The latest update of this event, in May 2017, extends until the 2019-2020 season.
Jeopardy! has spawned versions in many foreign countries around the world, including Canada, UK, Germany, Sweden, Russia, Denmark, Israel, and Australia. The American syndicated version of Jeopardy! is also broadcasted worldwide, with international distribution rights handled by CBS Studios International.
Three spin-off versions of Jeopardy! was created. Rock & amp; Roll Jeopardy! debuted at VH1 in 1998 and ran until 2001; the show is centered around popular post-1950 music trivia and guided by Jeff Probst. Jep! , which aired on GSN during the 1998-1999 season, is a special version of children hosted by Bob Bergen and displays various rule changes from the original version. Sports Jeopardy! , a sports-themed version hosted by Dan Patrick, aired in 2014 on Crackle digital services and eventually moved to NBCSN cable network in 2016.
Archived episodes
Only a small number of episodes from the first three versions of Jeopardy! are enduring. From the original NBC daytime versions, the archived episodes consist mostly of black and white kinescopes from original color videotapes. The various episodes from 1967, 1971, 1973, and 1974 are listed among the ownership of the UCLA Film and Television Archive. 1964 "test episode", Episode no. 2,000 (from 21 February 1972), and the weekly edition of the weekly syndication June episode is at the Paley Center for Media. Incomplete paper notes from the NBC era games are on the microfilm of the Library of Congress. GSN holds All-New Jeopardy Shoot! ' and final in broadcast quality, and aired the last on December 31, 1999, as part of its "Y2Play" marathon. The UCLA archive kept a copy of the pilot recorded for CBS in 1977, and the premiere was in the possession of the Paley Center.
The GSN, which, like Jeopardy !, is an affiliate of Sony Pictures Television, has been running back ten seasons since the channel's launch in 1994. Copies of 43 hosted syndicates-Trebek Jeopardy! The episodes aired between 1989 and 2004 have been collected by the UCLA Archive, and the first episodes and various other episodes are included in the Paley Center collection.
Reception
In 1994 the press called Jeopardy! "American icon". It has won a record of 33 Daytime Emmy Awards since 1984. The show holds the record for Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game/Audience Participation Show, with fifteen awards won in that category. The other five awards have been won by Trebek for an Extraordinary Game Host. The other twelve awards were won by directors and writers in each of the Outstanding Direction categories for Games Participation/Audience Participation and Exceptional Special Class Writing before this category was removed in 2006. On June 17, 2011, Trebek shared a Performance Honor Live with Rhymes at the 38th Annual Daytime Annual Emmy Awards. The following year, the show was awarded Peabody Prize for its role in encouraging, celebrating and rewarding; thus, he held the distinction of being the only game event since 1960 to win the Peabody Prize.
In the April 17-23, 1993 edition,
A hall of fame honors Jeopardy! has been added to the Sony Pictures Studios tour on September 20th, 2011. It features Emmy Awards and pensions, classic merchandise, video clips, photos and other memorabilia associated with Jeopardy! ' s history.
In 1989, Fleming expressed his dissatisfaction with the daily syndication series Jeopardy! in an essay published on Sports Illustrated . She confesses that she only watches the rare version of Trebek, and then only for a few questions; and also criticized this new iteration especially for its arrangement in Hollywood. Fleming believes that, unlike New Yorkers who are considered more intelligent and authentic Fleming, moving the show to Hollywood brings unrealistic glamor and fools the program underestimated. He also dislikes the decision not to award contestants lost their cash earnings (believing the farewell gift offered instead of being cheap) and expressed surprise that what he considers to be a living room game has turned into a national phenomenon under Trebek.
Jeopardy! ' The answer and question formats have become very rooted: Fleming observes that other game shows will have contestants who express their answers in the form of questions, directing the host to remind them that they are not competing in Jeopardy!
Tournaments and other events
