S4·E14 Show #699

Episode recap

The episode identified as season 4, episode 14 of the American quiz program Jeopardy! (catalogued as show #699) follows the series’ established format in which three contestants compete for cash by responding to general‑knowledge clues presented as answers. According to the series overview on The Movie Database, Jeopardy! is “America’s favorite quiz show where contestants are presented with general knowledge clues in the form of answers.” The episode’s contestant lineup is listed in the TMDB synopsis as Judith Garwood, Bill Cox and Roy Holliday.

As in every broadcast, the proceedings are anchored by Alex Trebek, who serves as the host and poses the clues, while the familiar voice of announcer Johnny Gilbert introduces the categories and provides the opening and closing remarks. The game begins with the Jeopardy! round, in which the three participants select from six categories, each containing five clues of increasing monetary value. Contestants signal their intent to answer by buzzing in; a correct response adds the clue’s value to the contestant’s total, while an incorrect response deducts that amount. After the initial round, the Double Jeopardy! segment repeats the structure with doubled clue values and the addition of two “Daily Double” clues that allow a contestant to wager any portion of their current score before responding.

Following the two main rounds, the contestants who remain in the game advance to Final Jeopardy!, where a single clue is presented and each contestant writes a wager and answer on a card. The final scores are tallied after the responses are revealed, determining the episode’s champion and the distribution of the winnings.

The episode’s production details, such as direction by Kevin McCarthy, Dick Schneider and John Lauderdale, and its classification as a reality‑family television program with a TV‑G rating, are documented in the series listings on both TMDB and the Czech‑language site ČSFD. No specific scores, wagers, or outcomes are disclosed in the available synopsis, so the recap remains limited to the confirmed participants, the standard structure of the game, and the roles of the host and announcer as described in the provided sources.
