Jeopardy!

Jeopardy! is a syndicated game show television program produced by CBS and airing in syndication since 1984. Merv Griffin created Jeopardy! as a response to the quiz-show scandals that nearly destroyed the genre. The twist was that the audience must supply the question to the provided answers. In addition to the three versions of the core show, there have been spin-offs like Rock and Roll Jeopardy!, Celebrity Jeopardy, and various student and tournament specials.

Lets Play

Each game consists of three rounds the Jeopardy! Round, Double Jeopardy! and final Jeopardy!. Round one consists of answers valued anywhere from $200 - $1,000 and the daily double is worth whatever amount the contestant wagers. Round two answers are valued at $500 - $2,500 and there are two daily doubles. At the end of round two the contestants are shown a category, it is then up to them to decide how much of their prize money they want to wager. The contestant with the highest amount of money following final Jeopardy! is declared the "winner" and gets to come back the next night.
