S2·E124 Show #384

Episode recap

The broadcast identified as season 2, episode 124 of the American quiz program Jeopardy! (catalogued as show #384) follows the series’ established format of pitting three civilian contestants against one another in a test of general‑knowledge recall. According to the episode’s entry on The Movie Database, the day’s competitors were Rosemary Hagerott, Rick Passo, and Leslie Johnson Kelsay. The contest proceeded under the familiar three‑round structure that defines the series: an initial Jeopardy! round, a Double Jeopardy! round, and a concluding Final Jeopardy! round in which each participant wagers a portion of their accumulated total on a single clue. Throughout the episode, clues were presented in the form of answers, requiring contestants to respond in the form of a question, a hallmark of the program’s gameplay as described in its general overview.

The episode was hosted by Alex Trebek, the long‑standing presenter of the series, with Johnny Gilbert providing the traditional opening announcement and occasional voice‑over introductions. Both Trebek and Gilbert are listed among the regular on‑screen talent for the 1984 version of Jeopardy! in the series’ production credits. The show is classified as a reality‑style, family‑oriented program with a TV‑G rating, reflecting its suitability for a broad audience. It is produced in the United States and was first released in 1984, a fact noted in the series’ general description on several reference sites.

While the specific categories, clue values, and final scores for this particular contest are not detailed in the available synopsis, the episode’s structure adhered to the standard rules and pacing that have defined Jeopardy! since its inception. The presence of three distinct contestants—Hagerott, Passo, and Kelsay—ensured the competitive dynamic typical of the series, with each player attempting to out‑score the others across the three rounds. The episode’s placement within season 2 situates it among the early years of the modern syndicated run, a period during which the show solidified its reputation as a staple of American television quiz programming.
