I thought of Cliff Claven the very second that "TV Theme Songs" came up. (I also guessed "Cheers" -- which in retrospect was stupid since Cheers is from '82, but who watches football?) You did the ONLY sensible thing. Much congratulations -- it is one of my few real goals in life to one day win that game, at least once. I don't even know you, but I was very happy for you.
First off, CONGRATS! How many people don't even win one game, right?
Ohhh but I bet you are gonna get a bunch of shit, especially here in PDX, for missing a final question having to do with solar panels on the White House...
Well played, Denis. I watch every night, so we saw you win and lose. I suspected the solar panel prez was Carter. I was on Jeopardy in 1987 when the values were half what they are now. I had a $3K lead in double Jeopardy, then the returning champ kicked my ass with categories she liked (furniture, classical music). She was a classical music DJ. I got just under half her total ($9200 to $4200). I bet it all on 19th century America and got it right to end up with $8400. She missed it but of course bet zero. I'm still miserable about the blown opportunity.
Please wait...
and remember to be decent to everyone all of the time.
Uhh, say, you gotta couple bucks I can borrow?
I still think you paid them off for the Final question.
I advise you not allow them to pay you in Imperial Credits!
Don't fall for Alex Trebek's French-Canadian Jedi Mind Tricks.

Suck it, Matt Davis! How many Jeopardies have YOU won?
