Jeopardy! Chronicles:

Choosing the outfits you’re going to wear on Jeopardy is very important. On the one hand, you don’t want to look like a duck that just ran through a meat grinder. On the other, you also don’t want to fall and break yourself or any part of the set--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeopardychronicles/message Hosted on Acast.

I know what you’re thinking by that title. This has nothing to do with jeopardy. Actually, it kind of does. We’re going to talk about the events that led to Merv Griffin, having the idea to create Jeopardy. If not for these events, in all likelihood there would be no jeopardy.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeopardychronicles/message Hosted on Acast. See acast....

Our flashbacks have a new format. Instead of one game at a time and four episodes per day, we’re doing three games at a time and only two episodes per day.

This game was the polar opposite of the last when we covered.

This spotlight covers not one but two significant events. On September 10, 1984, the version of Jeopardy. We know in love today premiered. On September 8 of 2003, the five game limit was lifted and allowed champions to continue playing as long as they could, paving away for players like Ken Jennings--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeopardychronicles/message Host...
