There's a stagehand standing just behind or next to the cameraman, who holds up one, two, or three fingers to indicate podium 1, 2, or 3; I was a contestant in 1998, and have been to several tapings as well.

Who hosted Jeopardy before Alex Trebek?

Art Fleming was the host of the original Jeopardy gameshow that ran from 1964 - 1975 during the day. Due to flagging ratings because of its poor daytime time slot, the show was taken off the air after the 1975 season. In 1978, it was resurrected as The All-New Jeopardy again with Art Fleming as its host and again airing during the day. It only lasted one season. The first Jeopardy with Alex Trebek as host was aired on September 10, 1984 in its present evening time slot.

How do you watch for free the first season of jeopardy?

I know of no way to watch the original episodes of Jeopardy and don't believe it is possible as according to Wikipedia only a small number of the 2,753 episodes from the original NBC Daytime version survive, mostly as black-and-white kinescopes of the original color videotapes. A link to the Jeopardy Wikipedia has been added to the related links and a section deals with the Alex Trebek episodes from 1984 to the present.


Is it possible to find out if a Philip Bentley was a Jeopardy contestant in the 1970's?

It would not seem very likely to be able to verify whether someone was definely on the show as the complete history would be needed. The J.Archive only has early episode from the Alex Trebek era of Jeopardy. see related link. Very little information is left on the Art Fleming daytime Jeopardy series that first aired between 1964 and 1975. The show was also revived during the 1978-1979 season as The All New Jeopardy which would add to the difficulty in answering the question because we would not even know which show was correct. The first show taped in a New York NBC studio and the second was taped from NBC Studios in Burbank California. Only a small number of the original episodes from 1964 -75 still exist.

How do Jeopardy contestants know answers?

Jeopardy! contestants have to rely on their own knowledge and any clues in the question to figure out the answers. There are some strategies. One contestant called ahead to find out when his episode would be airing, because shows on or around holidays usually have a themed category.
