2. Did you know Art Fleming served as host for all versions of the show between 1964 and 1979. Don Pardo served as announcer until 1975, and John Harlan announced for the 1978–1979 season. The daily syndicated version premiered in 1984 with Alex Trebek as host and Johnny Gilbert as announcer. Trebek hosted until his death in November 2020, with his last episode airing January 8, 2021, after over 36 years in the role ?
3. Did you know the show was created by Merv Griffin and he wrote the theme song "Think!" which has has served as the countdown music for the Final Jeopardy round since 1964 ?
4. Did you know the most money you could win on a single day of Jeopardy is $566,400 ? (A single Jeopardy! contestant could theoretically win a maximum of $566,400 in a single day. This would require a perfect game with strategic Daily Double wagers and a substantial Final Jeopardy! bet.) (This is during regular game play.)
5. Did you know Jeopardy! tapes five episodes in a single day. The show films two days a week, meaning a total of 10 episodes are taped each week ?
