GODDESSES

Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune were both created by Merv Griffin.

He and his wife Mindy (née Boam) have a son, Dylan, born in 2003, and a daughter, Caitlin, born in 2006.

In the original Art Fleming Version of Jeopardy their was at least one time when none of the contestants fiinshed Double Jeopardy with more than $0 and so the did not even have a final Jeopardy Clue that day.

On March 16th, 2011 only one contestant finished Double Jeopardy with a positive amount and went on to play Final Jeopardy alone.

Final Jeopardy! for Friday, October 16, 2009 (Winner: Kevin Wilson - $31199)

Category: Scientific Firsts

Answer: The first object in our solar system discovered by telescope was not a planet but one of these.

Question: What is a moon? (referring to Galileo's discovery of one of Jupiter's moons)

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar appeared on October 15, 2009 for the 2009-2010 Million Dollar Celebrity Invitational quarterfinal game 2. In the Double Jeopardy round, he picked category "I Went To UCLA" for $400. The clue was "Tell your old man to drag this '70s UCLA & Trail Blazer center (& Lanier!) up and down the court for 48 minutes." KAJ replied, "Who is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?" Alex replied, "No! (laughing) You're the one who delivered the line, but it was about Bill Walton... Embarrassing moments on Jeopardy!" KAJ looked totally confused.

For those who have no idea what this is referring to, in the 1980 film "Airplane" he said that quote to a few children. The Jeapardy question was asking who he was talking about (Bill Walton) when he thought they are talking about who said it. And it made perfect sense because Kareem went to UCLA.

Sure the show was taped long before they air the program. You might mean "Did they know in advance that the question was going to be asked?" That's like asking if the show is a total fraud that passes out a list of questions and tells the contestants to study them. In truth, for the contestants, it's sort of like The Tonight Show's 'sidewalk all-stars'. The sketch is funny because most of us know the answer to the question Jay is asking. Many of the answers to the Jeopardy questions are known by all three contestants, but only one wins a chance to answer by ringing in first. Remember, they are on the show because they pride themselves on being able to answer trivia questions. They would not like to have the questions passed out ahead of time to everyone because they feel they would lose their advantage. So, in a sense, they know the answer to the question before the team of writers for Jeopardy even made up the question. With travel and lodging as high as it is some of the 3rd place finishers lose money for the chance to be on the show.

No, Jeopardy! does not provide the contestants with information pertaining to the categories they may encounter during their game. Categories are randomly assigned months/weeks before contestants are chosen for a specific episode in order to eliminate any appearance of collusion. That is why sometimes you may see categories that are particularly beneficial to one contestant over another, such as when there is a Law Category and one of the contestants is a lawyer.
