S3·E167 Show #622

Episode recap

The episode identified as season three, episode 167 of the American quiz program Jeopardy! (show number 622) presented three competitors: Nancy Adams, Bruce Adelstein and Peggy Johnson. As with every installment of the series, the contest adhered to the established format in which participants are given general‑knowledge clues phrased as answers and must respond in the form of a question. The program was hosted by Alex Trebek, with Johnny Gilbert providing the opening and closing announcements, a structure confirmed by the series’ production credits. The episode opened with the Jeopardy! round, during which the three contestants selected from six categories, each containing five clues of increasing monetary value. After the initial board was exhausted, the Double Jeopardy! round commenced, offering a second set of six categories with doubled clue values and the opportunity for Daily Doubles. Throughout both rounds, contestants could buzz in after the host read each clue; a correct response added the clue’s dollar amount to the contestant’s total, while an incorrect response deducted the same amount. Following the two main rounds, the three competitors wagered portions of their accumulated scores in the Final Jeopardy! segment, responding to a single clue presented in a written format. The episode concluded with the announcement of the winner, who earned the right to return for the next show, while the other two contestants received consolation prizes. Production details list Kevin McCarthy, Dick Schneider and John Lauderdale as directors, and the program’s classification as a reality‑and‑family series with a TV‑G rating. No additional contestants, special themes, or deviations from the standard gameplay were noted for this particular broadcast, which therefore exemplifies the typical structure and presentation of Jeopardy! during its 1984 run.
