Trivia section

Trivia sections on Wikipedia are considered very bad form. All imformation within this section should be dispersed to apropriate places within the article. --The_stuart 18:30, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The show's 3000th episode had the same six categories used from the show's first episode in the first round (LAKES & RIVERS, INVENTIONS, ANIMALS, FOREIGN CUISINE, ACTORS & ROLES, and NUMBER PLEASE). A category of unrevealed questions from the first episode was featured on Double Jeopardy! (which, ironically, were not all revealed in this episode either). The Final Jeopardy! category was HOLIDAYS, which was also the same category used on their first show.
Kevin Laude, a one-day champion, had to wait more than four years for his win to air. His win was on the "lost episode" of the show which never aired in its rotation. In Season 18, Laude defeated 4-time champion Ramsey Campbell and Nancy Casbeer in a game which did not air because of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The show was finally aired on GSN in June 2005.
The theoretical maximum win for a single day of Jeopardy! is $566,400. However, this requires choosing all of the Daily Doubles last and that they are all placed behind the lowest valued clues, which the odds are 3,288,600 to 1 against (assuming they are randomly placed, which they are not), wagering everything for each Daily Double, and again wagering everything in Final Jeopardy! Depending on placement and order of the Daily Doubles, a so-called "perfect game" (every question correct, always maximum wager when called to do so) can range from $208,000 to $566,400, with a mean of $374,400.
The current one-day record is $75,000, set by Ken Jennings on July 23, 2004.

Would someone please put a sound clip of the "think music" in this article? I don't have the software even to play Wikipedia sound clips, much less to create them. -- isis 08:42 Dec 12, 2002 (UTC)

It's probably not exactly like the Jeopardy! theme, since I did it off the top of my head, but it's pretty close. -- Merphant

Here you go. All three known versions of the Jeopardy! think music. Version 1 is presumably the version used on the original Art Fleming version of the show. Version 2 is the version I first heard on the Alex Trebek run of Jeopardy!, and Version 3 is the version used today on the show.

Can anybody confirm that the name of the "think music" is indeed "A Time For Tony" in terms of anybody having the record/single with the song title "A Time For Tony" and running for about 30 seconds?

Does anyone out there have a script for the "Jeopardy 1999" saturday night live sketch? I've been looking for it. (I know the script itself doesn't belong here, but a link to it would be appropriate.)

Jeopardy! All About the Game. The screen starts out black and then fades into an orange, red, and blue back- ground with the big, black word JEOPARDY! appearing in the center, with Johnny Gilbert announcing: "This......is......Jeopardy! Lets meet tonight's contest- ants." The camThere are always 3 contestants at the start of each game. Then, the first contestant appears in a orange, red, and blue box with their name on it. Johnny announces what their occupation is, where they're from, and who they are. He does the same for the next 2 contestants, but, the only difference is when he gets to the champion, he uses the prefix:...."And our returning champ- ion,." From here on, it's the same. After introducing the champion, he announces: "....And now, here is the host of Jeopardy!, Aleeeeeeeex Trebek!" (Alex and no one else appear in a box during the rest of the game.) Then, Alex thanks Johnny and sometimes says a few words about the contestants, then he starts the game. 35 TVs are

YES, the Tournament of Champions has been cancelled. Under the new policy of "you can win as many days as you can win" there are no longer five-day winners to feed the Tournament with and this was all part of the reorganization that included the end of the Tournament of Champions. :) jengod 20:30, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC)

NO, the Tournament of Champions has NOT been cancelled. Under the new policy, the Tournament of Champions invites will be determined on the basis of total days on the show. In fact, the next Tournament of Champions has already been taped and is "in the can". --OntarioQuizzer 17:22, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Maximum Theoretical Winnings in One Day?

We began this discussion on Ken Jennings, and I'm seeing discrepancies in this article as well, so I'm bringing it up here. This article lists the daily theoretical maximum as $566,400, but I don't see how that works. Here are my calculations:

{User runs every category, and the last square chosen is the lowest denomination, which contains the daily double, and everything is wagered}
Total after 1st round: (((1000 + 800 + 600 + 400 + 200) * 6) - 200) * 2 = 35600
Total after 2nd round: (35600 + ((2000 + 1600 + 1200 + 800 + 400) * 6) - 400) * 2) = 142400
Total after Final Jeopardy: 142400 * 2 = 284800

Is my math wrong? - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 16:04, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)

First round board: 6 columns of $100, $200, $300, $400, $500 = $1500/column

A full board would be $9000, but we subtract $100 for the Daily Double

At the end of the first round: $8900 doubled = $17800

Second round board: 6 columns of $200, $400, $600, $800, $1000 = $3000/column

A full board would be $18,000, but we subtract $400 for the 2 Daily Doubles = $17,600

Then take the total of the 1st round and the 2nd round ($17,800 + $17,600 = $35,400) and double it twice for the 2nd round Daily Doubles = $141,600

Then double this for Final Jeopardy: $141,600 * 2 = $283,200

Ah, silly me, I was using the old board values. I see they've increased the board values (since 2001). Taking THAT into account...:

First round board: 6 columns of $200, $400, $600, $800, $1000 = $3000/column

A full board would be $18000, but we subtract $200 for the Daily Double

At the end of the first round: $17800 doubled = $35,600.

Second round board: 6 columns of $400, $800, $1200, $1600, $2000 = $6000/column

A full board would be $36,000, but we subtract $800 for the 2 Daily Doubles = $35,200.

Then take the total of the 1st round and the 2nd round ($35,600 + $35,200 = $70,800) and double it twice for the 2nd round Daily Doubles = $283,200

Then double this for Final Jeopardy: $283,200 * 2 = $566,400

This matches the figure at Ken Jennings now.

Ohh, I forgot there were two daily doubles in dbl jeopardy. Thanks! - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 18:36, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)

(UNSIGNED COMMENT MOVED FROM Ken Jennings)In order for Final Jeopardy to be reached, one other player must have money. Assume the other player answered the lowest possible value question ($200). The theoretical maximum is actually $563,200.

Can anyone verify if this is true? Are you sure that you can't enter Final Jeopardy without any opponents? This must have happened once or twice. I can't imagine that they would skip final jeopardy, because then they would have a gap of several minutes in their broadcast. - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 18:40, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)

I was just wondering about this last night... Can anyone remember seeing that actually happening, that two contestants are in the red at the end of Double Jeopardy? Does the show just end then? Postdlf 18:44, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Final Jeopardy! *does* still take place if two players are in the red after Double Jeopardy! -- the one player plays Final by himself. It's happened twice in the 20-season Trebek era. --OntarioQuizzer 23:37, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

i don't think that comment is true; i think the person was just assuming. if only 1 person has money at the end of double jeopardy it's pretty obvious who the winner will be, but that person i would think would still have the chance to increase their winnings. nothing seems to indicate otherwise. whether this has ever happened i can't be sure, though it was pretty close once last week. regardless i think that persons math is wrong. if another player answered a $400 question as the final question of the game, the maximum for the other player would actually work out more (after that $200 had been doubled 3 times), $565,600, i think-R. fiend 18:55, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It doesn't matter whether the $200 is missed in the first round or the $400 is missed in Double Jeopardy. The maximum is $563,200 either way. Here's why: The maximum has already been calculated above to be $566,400. Except that doesn't leave any opponents. If you miss the $200 question in Jeopardy, you actually miss out on $200*2*2*2*2 = $3,200. If you miss the $400 in Double Jeopardy, you miss out on $400*2*2*2 = $3,200. Subtracting $3,200 from $566,400 leaves $563,200.

Anonymous user is correct here, however, we have still not settled the original case of whether or not an individual player can advance to Final Jeopardy by himself. Unless Ken Jennings steps it up a notch, we may not find out the answer to this any time soon. Should we possibly list both as speculations? - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:52, Jul 13, 2004 (UTC)

Until we clarify whether two players are needed for Double Jeopardy, it might be better to specify the maximum theoretical earnings for one day as something round, like "more than half a million dollars" or "more than $550,000" ? - Nunh-huh 20:29, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I would think that one person could proceed to Final Jeopardy; otherwise he's being penalized by losing a chance to as much as double his winnings just because both of his competitors really sucked. Of course, I would also think that they'd have the rules on the official Jeopardy website so we could check these things, but nope. Something that's interesting—the original run of the show had the same rules as the current syndicated version, and on a couple occasions, all three contestants were ineligible for Final Jeopardy (according to TV Tome, at least). Postdlf 20:38, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)

after redoing all the math longhand i guess anonymous is right about the totals being the same (sometimes i wish a had a caluculator), but i still think only 1 person is needed to participate in final jeopardy, unless someone can verify a rule that states otherwise. also, these totals assume that all the daily doubles are in the first row of questions, which i don't think is ever the case (has anyone seen a daily double above the second row? i haven't), but i guess if the rules dont specifically say it can't be then its no more unlikely than a single person getting every question correct and risking it all 4 separate times. this is all theoretical. also, is jengod right in saying there is no more tournament of champions? seems stupid of them to get rid of it just because they got rid of the 5 time champion rule (they're already theoretically saving money by not giving away cars). the tournamnet was never restricted to 5 time champs anyway. i mentioned on the ken jennings page that he would certainly return for the tournament, but if there isnt one then i guess that should be deleted. pity. -R. fiend 03:29, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Even if it's necessary to have two contestants with positive scores in order to have Final Jeopardy!, that doesn't mean the theoretical maximum has to be reduced. We merely have to assume one of the loser candidates gets a correct response that is initially ruled incorrect, and then the big winner gives the response the judges are looking for. The big winner would still get every question correct, but one of the losers would have a positive score, too. This kind of score correcting happens frequently on the show--certainly more often than getting all three Daily Doubles in the top row. Jwolfe 07:32, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I think I agree with this assessment. If no one has any objections, I'm going to update the theoretical max on this page and on Ken Jennings to $566,400. - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 14:24, Jul 14, 2004 (UTC)

AFAIK, in that case the money would go to the contestant who answer the question correctly initially and would be deducted from the one who answered it afterward.

Acegikmo1 16:07, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I have seen cases in which they have asked ambiguous questions, and the first answer that they rejected was later deemed to be acceptable as well. Rather than penalize the second player, they award both players the dollar amount. - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 16:11, Jul 15, 2004 (UTC)

I have seen cases where a contestant gave a reponse that they ruled incorrect and a second contestant gave a similar response that they also ruled incorrect. After the judges reviewed it and changed their minds, they gave credit to both contestants for a correct answer. Jwolfe 11:00, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Category displays?

Here's something I was curious about. Whenever Alex goes down the line showing the contestants the categories, they have a special way of making the categories appear on the screen. I know there's been lots of different ones, but I don't them all. Here's some that I know of:

The title is already visible, but written on a dark screen. The monitor lights up to make the title more prominent.
The words on the screen are broken into little pieces. The pieces come together to reveal the category name.
The screen is blank. Down from the top comes the category title, written in a light font. At the same time, the same title comes up from the bottom, also written in light font. The two titles combine to make a single, full-fledged title.
The Jeopardy! logo is visible on the screen. It rolls upward to reveal the title.
Rock 'n' Roll Jeopardy! - A CD rolls acoss the screen, the title appearing out from under it as it goes.

Does anyone know of any others?

Yes. I am currently watching it on GSN and the categories are appearing on the screen by:

The Jeopardy! logo is visible on the screen. It fades out while the category fades in to reveal the title.

BTW, is this something we want to put in the actual article page?

Alex?

Anyone else find it slightly odd that there's a picture of Ken Jennings on this page but not Alex Trebek? -R. fiend 17:39, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

He who makes the screencaps makes the news... There are plenty of pictures of Alex on the net, but their copyright status is questionable. - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 18:24, Jul 22, 2004 (UTC)

Perfect game

"If you decide ahead of time that your strategy is to go for a perfect game, your chances become much better. In trying for a perfect game, you will not select the low questions ($200/$400) until the end of each round. In Single Jeopardy, there is a 1:5 chance of the board being set up correctly, and you have a 1:6 chance of choosing the Daily Double Last, giving you a 1:30 chance of maxing Single Jeopardy. In Double Jeopardy, there is a 1:29 chance of the board being set up right, and a 1:15 chance of choosing the daily doubles last. So, if you decide ahead of time to try for a perfect game, and manage to get all the questions, then you have a 1:13050 chance."

I have to take issue with some of the phrasing in the above paragraph. The board being set up "correctly" implies that there is something "incorrect" about having daily doubles below the first row, when, in reality, they ALWAYS are. As this isn't the rule but is always the case it shouldn't affect the theoretical maximum, but I think with these mathmatical statistics people are forgetting the fact that the theoretical maximum is just that. No one will ever win 566 whatever thousand dollars on jeopardy, and no one will ever "try" for a perfect game. It's well beyond anyone's control. The calculations suppose the placings of daily doubles are random when they obviously aren't. If someone is positive they will get every clue correct and wants only to make as much as possible in one game they will certainly pick the higher values last, because they want the daily doubles to be the final clues, and they're usually in the bottom 2 rows. So the 1:30 chance of maxing Single Jeopardy has no bearing. And of course this discounts the probability of a contestant getting every clue right, which is, of course, impossible to calculate. I applaud the mathmatics used in reaching these numbers, but in practice they are, frankly, meaningless within the scope of the game. -R. fiend 01:34, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Miscellaneous Trivia section (Jeopardy version in Canada?)

I was just wondering if anyone had any substantiated proof of there being a Canadian version of Jeopardy -- I'm assuming that it would have been a French-language Quebec version, seeing as our English-speaking countrymen compete in the big American show. --OntarioQuizzer 12:24, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

There never was. The international tourney was supposed to stop there after the second winner of that championship was Canadian, but they stayed in the USA for the third championship. There was a short-run of Millionaire in Canada, and Alex has hosted about three Canadian game shows. -- user:zanimum

Vote on Removing a Link

I figured I'd put this up for a vote, since it's always a touchy subject to remove a link to someone's personal website.

Of the External Links area of the page, the link Funny Jeopardy! Answers is, for one thing, mislabeled, in that it's a site that supposedly hosts Game Show flubs from multiple shows, not just Jeopardy!. Also, if you click the links for "United States flubs" and "United Kingdom flubs", both return a 404 error. Basically, there's no real content to be found, and according to the timestamp at the top of the page, it hasn't been updated in over 6 weeks.

The vote is to remove the links until such a time that the site owner either fixes the 404 error, or adds content to the page. Please type your name with 4 tildes (~) under either "For" or "Against" to vote, and add a comment next to it if you like.

Sincerely,

Against removal FranklinCougar89 02:11, 11 January 2006 (UTC): The web address has changed. It's better to update the link, not remove it (especially since I know the new address: it is http://www.sgsa.robertsearcy.info/). Also, the timestamp on the new address at this time says December 26, 2005, which hasn't been six weeks yet.[reply]

EDIT: Wa-a-a-a-a-ay too late (about a full year!). But it DOES have a new web address. The new address will be put on the article.

Inconsistency on Triple Losers

There is an inconsistency on this page, not sure which is correct.

"There have been rare instances where there have been two contestants who have finished in either zero or negative scoring in one show, but never all three contestants."

then later:

"If no contestant finishes with a positive total (i.e., at least $1), then nobody wins and three new contestants appear on the following show; in such cases the three players will participate in a backstage draw to determine player position. The three-way loss has happened three times since 1984."

The second phrasing seems correct since it contains more specific information, but I'm loathe to delete since i have no idea. Scarykitty

I've looked at it and have made the necessary adjustments. Thanks for the heads-up. --OntarioQuizzer 01:51, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Taking this discussion a little bit farther, I have rephrased the above comment (about one or two contestants finishing "Final Jeopardy!" with $0 or with a negative score), and it still needs a little work. However, I have clarified the comment "but never all three contestants." This is certainly true (and verifiable, I think) for the current syndicated version. For now, I'm considering it "unknown" whether three contestants finished Double Jeopardy! with $0 or negative scores on the 1964 NBC version starring Art Fleming. I thought I had read in Maxine Fabe's "TV Game Shows" book once where she says, "More than once, this was the case for all three contestants" (that is, all three were disqualified from playing Final Jeopardy! because they did so poorly). That said, I wonder what does happen if all three contestants finish "Double Jeopardy!" with minus scores, aside from the obvious (three new contestants on the next show)? How do they fill the remaining time that would have been used to play "Final Jeopardy!"? [[Briguy52748 17:15, 24 January 2006 (UTC)]][reply]

Current TV status

How frequently are new episodes of Jeopardy! made, and on what channels do they air? --LostLeviathan 19:39, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Jeopardy! tapes 230 episodes per year, over 46 days taped between (generally) July and March. The show, being syndicated, shows on many different channels - a list can be found at [1]. --OntarioQuizzer 22:47, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure of the best way to note this in the article, but I feel that since David Madden, the current champion, has had impressive runaway wins like Ken Jennings, and Alex has commented on this, and he has won six times, he should be included. If anyone feels that the format of my contribution is questionable, feel free to correct it. I currently put a link to my stub on him under the "see also" section. -- asert 00:42 Jul 12, 2004

A single five time winner (or is it 6 now)? Nah. There are tons of 5 timers, and quite a few 6ers since they changed the rules recently. If he gets around 15 or 20 then he's considerably above the others, but as of now he's just another dweeb who's pretty good at a quiz show. -R. fiend 01:06, 13 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Two Timpani strikes -- source?

"A few years after composing the song, Griffin added 2 timpani notes at the end so that it would meet the 30-second minimum length required to secure a copyright on the song."

Can someone provide a verifiable source for this claim? I don't know of any provision in copyright law that sets a minimum duration for a composition. (Indeed, had the song been performed at a slightly slower tempo, it would have been thirty seconds long!)

It may be the case that there's a minimum length require to copyright the recorded performance of the song (and even this I'm skeptical of), but the copyright of a sound recording is separate from the copyright of the composed work.

Heath 66.32.1.24 00:28, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put this here since it's about sourcing and the theme song. The information regarding the royalty money made by Griffin on the theme came from an interview he did on the entertainment TV show The Insider aired in syndication but seen by this editor 10 minutes before the edit. Pretty impressive stuff, but I didn't think it was worth its own discussion line in this page. Moof 07:13, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since five months have passed, and no one has provided a credible source for the two-timpani-strikes claim, I've removed it from the main article.

Doesn't Add Up

The article has under the Tournament of Champions

Finals

Monday, 13 May: Rutter $11,000, Newhouse $0, Verini $6,800
Tuesday, 14 May: Rutter $13,801, Newhouse $25,600, Verini $800

Totals: Rutter $25,601; Newhouse $25,600; and Verini $7,600. Rutter wins the Million Dollar Masters Touranment and the $1 million grand prize.

My question is: how do 11,000 and 13,801 added equal 25,601? Could somebody check these numbers, preferably from the original source?

Auditions

I noticed that the format for "Back to School Week"/"Kids' Week" auditions says that a mock game is played first, followed by the 30 question exam. When I tried out for "Back to School Week" in 2000, this was not true - the reverse was. However, I understand that times change, and so do "Jeopardy!" try-outs. Can anyone please verify the manner currently listed? Thanks!

While I have not personally tried out for Kids Week, users on the Jeopardy! message boards whose kids have tried out have said that recently they play the mock game first; that way, all of the kids selected to try out get a chance to play with the buzzers (meaning, the kids leave having gotten to play Jeopardy!, whether they pass the test or not - which makes them happier than if they didn't pass the test and didn't get the chance to play).

Added info on HOW to audition when the address to the studio mentioned could not be found. If someone would post that as well (or a link) that would be great.

I removed the info of which the poster supra writes, inasmuch as it was written in the second-person and in any case was perhaps more instructional than encyclopedic; after all, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information (under which category falls the proscription "...Wikipedia articles should not include instruction"). Joe 22:57, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could not the person have been changed to comply with format? I further submit that the header of that section implies that particular info will be found there. The "how" is GERMAINE to the article, indeed central to that section... Indiscriminate? :^/

The contestants I competed with in the 2001 College Tournament, including one in the same tryout session as I was, came to the conclusion that the mock game groupings were made from test scores in reverse order (lowest pass to highest). All of us (that we could recall) were in the last group in our room. Mind you, this tryout was for the College Tournament, so there were only 15 slots available, so this could differ from the normal auditions. Mschnippert 04:13, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An interesting conclusion, that. Andy Saund e rs 09:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When I tried out for Kids Week in June 2003, the test came before the mock game, so any change must have been quite recent. --Metsfan001 11:27, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Form of a question

About the "What is?" being strictly enforced: I distinctly remember a contestant answering in more unconventional ways. Among others, he answered, "Who?" to a question about the who and, "(someone's name), what's that?" Both were accepted, though Alex commented on the multiple-day winner's cockiness. Anyone else remember this guy? Also, I'd like to see some mention of the fact that the "answers" are nothing like the answer you'd give to their question if the question was asked of you. For example, say a kid asks his father, "Who's Abraham Lincoln?" and the father answers, "Well, this president grew a beard because a girl told him it would make his face look better." Of course, if they used more realistic answers, it wouldn't work. Compare:

It's the year that the Model T was invented.

What is 1903?

to:

1903

What's a number that's almost 2000?

That would technically be correct, but it wouldn't be what the producers intended. Ken Jennings's famous "What's a hoe?" answer illustrates producer intent as well. Hoe (ho) was an acceptable answer, but it wasn't what they intended the answer to be. Anyway, back to the original thing I said. CrossEyed7 02:26, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect. Rakes are purely pleasure seekers, while most hoes are (for lack of a better word) slaves to either pimps or a fruitless search for love, not pleasure.

In a recent episode (I don't recall if it was a GSN repeat or new episode), a contestant forgot to answer in the form of a question for a Daily Double. Alex gave it to her anyway, citing that "we don't penalize for that in the first round." However, after the commercial break, they nullified the score, because the rule doesn't apply to the Daily Double. Can anyone else confirm this? Mshake3 00:05, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You'd probably get more of a response if you asked your question here (on the Jeopardy! message boards). Andy Saunders 03:50, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cast and crew

I think listing the complete crew in this article is providing too much detail. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and this section is seriously making the article much longer than it needs to be. Linking to a site where the complete crew is listed would be fine, but I don't think that including it is a good idea. --JoanneB 20:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
