S2·E85 Show #345

Episode recap

The broadcast identified as season two, episode eighty‑five of the 1984 series of Jeopardy! (show number 345) presents three competitors: Curtis Warren, Steve Willis and Barbara Griffin. The program follows the established format of the long‑running American quiz show created by Merv Griffin, in which contestants are given general‑knowledge clues phrased as answers and must respond in the form of a question. According to the series overview on The Movie Database, the show is described as “America’s favorite quiz show where contestants are presented with general knowledge clues in the form of answers.” The structure of each episode traditionally consists of a Jeopardy! round, a Double Jeopardy! round and a Final Jeopardy! round, though the specific content of the clues in this installment is not detailed in the supplied synopsis.

The 1984 version of Jeopardy! is hosted by Alex Trebek, with Johnny Gilbert providing the announcer’s voice, as noted in the production credits listed on SMS.cz. The episode’s opening introduces the three participants—Warren, Willis and Griffin—who each sit at a podium equipped with a buzzer for signaling responses. Throughout the game, the contestants select categories and dollar values, wagering their accumulated scores in the Double Jeopardy! round and ultimately writing a single response for the Final Jeopardy! clue. The competition proceeds until a winner is determined by the highest total at the conclusion of the final round.

While the synopsis supplies only the names of the day’s contestants, the broader context of the series confirms that the episode adheres to the standard rules and pacing of Jeopardy!. No additional narrative elements, special themes, or guest appearances are mentioned in the provided material, and therefore the recap is limited to the factual framework of the show’s format and the identification of Curtis Warren, Steve Willis and Barbara Griffin as the competing players in this particular broadcast.
