S3·E49 Show #504

Episode recap

Season 3, Episode 49 of the 1984 television series Jeopardy!, identified as Show #504, features three contestants competing against one another: Eric Schoeck, Harvey Becker, and Gary Giardina.

As part of the long-running quiz show format, the program relies on a structure where clues are valued by dollar amounts from lowest to highest, ostensibly reflecting their level of difficulty. The gameplay involves rounds where the values of the clues increase over time, with the values in the Double Jeopardy! round always being double the range of the initial Jeopardy! round.

The production history of the series is associated with directors Kevin McCarthy, Dick Schneider, and John Lauderdale. The onscreen personnel linked to the program include host Alex Trebek, announcer Johnny Gilbert, and staff members Jimmy McGuire, Kelly Miyahara, and Sarah Whitcomb.

The episode itself centers strictly on the competitive match between the day's three participants, Eric Schoeck, Harvey Becker, and Gary Giardina, as they navigate the board and respond to the clues presented during the broadcast.
