S2·E101 Show #361

Episode recap

The episode identified as season two, episode 101 of the American quiz program Jeopardy! is catalogued as show number 361. The broadcast featured three contestants: Lee Newlight, Beryl Arbit, and Bob Danielson. As with every installment of the series, the competition adhered to the established structure of the game, which consists of three distinct rounds. In the opening Jeopardy! round, each contestant selects clues presented in the form of answers across a board of categories, responding in the form of a question to claim the monetary value attached to each clue. Correct responses add the clue’s value to the contestant’s total, while incorrect responses deduct the same amount. Following the first round, the Double Jeopardy! round repeats the format with a second board, offering higher clue values and the inclusion of two Daily Double clues that allow a contestant to wager any portion of their accumulated total before responding. The episode concluded with the Final Jeopardy! round, in which all three participants wrote a wager based on the category revealed, then provided a single response in the form of a question. The contestant with the highest total after Final Jeopardy! is declared the winner and returns for the next episode, while the others receive consolation prizes.

The presence of Lee Newlight, Beryl Arbit, and Bob Danielson as the day’s competitors reflects the series’ practice of selecting a diverse group of participants to test a broad range of general‑knowledge topics. The episode’s placement within the second season situates it early in the program’s long‑running history, during a period when the show continued to solidify the format described in its official documentation. No additional details regarding specific categories, clue values, or the final scores of the three contestants are provided in the available synopsis. Consequently, the episode is recorded primarily by the identity of its contestants and its adherence to the standard Jeopardy! gameplay that has defined the series since its inception.
