From the Alex Trebek stage at Sony Pictures Studios, THIS IS a collection of all US versions of Jeopardy!, from syndication to prime time
This classic game show features a quiz competition in which contestants are presented with general knowledge clues in the form of answers, and must phrase their responses in the form of questions. After an 11 year run on NBC daytime, the show resurfaced in a modified format in 1978 and then came back in syndication in 1984, where it continues to enjoy long-term success.
Celebrity contestants compete for a chance to win money for a charity of their choice.
