S4·E36 Show #721

Episode recap

The episode identified as season 4, episode 36 (show #721) of the American quiz program Jeopardy! presented three new challengers: Carol Cling, Tim Kozel and John Lamb. As with every installment of the series, the contest unfolded in the program’s established three‑round structure. The opening Jeopardy! round introduced a board of six categories, each containing five clues whose monetary values increased from $200 to $1,000. Contestants selected clues in turn, responding in the form of a question; correct responses added the clue’s value to the player’s score, while incorrect answers deducted the same amount and gave the remaining contestants an opportunity to buzz in.

Following the first round, the Double Jeopardy! board presented six new categories with clue values ranging from $400 to $2,000, again allowing the three competitors to wager and answer. Throughout both rounds, the show’s host guided the proceedings, read each clue, and confirmed the phrasing of responses, while the announcer introduced the contestants and provided periodic updates on the scores.

At the conclusion of Double Jeopardy!, the leading contestant—determined by the highest accumulated total—advanced to the Final Jeopardy! segment. In this final phase, a single clue was presented, and each contestant wrote down a wager up to the amount of their current score before seeing the clue. After the clue was revealed, the players submitted their responses in the form of a question. Correct answers added the wagered amount to the contestant’s total; incorrect answers resulted in a loss of the wagered sum.

The episode therefore adhered to the classic Jeopardy! format, featuring Carol Cling, Tim Kozel and John Lamb competing across the three rounds under the familiar rules that define the series. No additional details about the specific categories, clues, scores or the ultimate winner are provided in the available synopsis, and the recap is limited to the confirmed structure and participants of this particular broadcast.
