S4·E34 Show #719

Episode recap

The episode identified as Show #719, the thirty‑fourth installment of the fourth season of the American quiz program Jeopardy!, presented three new competitors: Laura Glendinning, Brian Nelson and Beth Phillips. As with every broadcast of the series, the contest was hosted by Alex Trebek, whose role is to read the clues and manage the flow of the game, while the familiar voice of announcer Johnny Gilbert introduced the show and provided the opening and closing remarks. The three participants faced off in the program’s established three‑round structure: the initial Jeopardy! round, the Double Jeopardy! round, and the concluding Final Jeopardy! round.

During the first round, each contestant selected clues from six categories, each clue presented as an answer that required a response in the form of a question. Correct responses added the dollar value of the clue to the contestant’s score, while incorrect answers deducted the same amount. After the Jeopardy! round, the scores were carried forward to Double Jeopardy!, where the same format was repeated with higher‑valued clues and the addition of two Daily Doubles, allowing a contestant who found one to wager any portion of their accumulated total before responding.

Following Double Jeopardy!, the three competitors entered Final Jeopardy!, a single clue in which each contestant wrote a wager and a response in secret. The final scores were then revealed, determining the winner of the episode and the contestant who would return for the next game. The episode adhered to the series’ standard production elements, including the iconic theme music, the board display of categories and clue values, and the use of the “buzz‑in” system that signals which contestant has signaled readiness to answer.

No additional information about the specific categories, clue content, scores, or outcome of the match is provided in the available sources. The episode therefore serves as a typical example of Jeopardy!’s format, showcasing the competition among Laura Glendinning, Brian Nelson and Beth Phillips under the guidance of Alex Trebek and the familiar voice of Johnny Gilbert.
