Episode recap

This episode of Jeopardy is season five, episode one hundred twelve, designated as show number one hundred twenty-seven, featuring the second quarterfinal game of the nineteen eighty-nine Teen Tournament. The contestants competing in this episode are Samantha Moeschler, Ryan Godfrey, and Laura Spear.

As part of the long-running quiz show format, the contestants are presented with general knowledge clues framed in the form of answers. The program is hosted by Alex Trebek, with announcing duties handled by Johnny Gilbert, and other staff including Jimmy McGuire, Kelly Miyahara, and Sarah Whitcomb associated with the series production. The episodes are directed by Kevin McCarthy, Dick Schneider, and John Lauderdale.

During the game, clues are organized and valued by specific dollar amounts from lowest to highest, which ostensibly reflect their relative difficulty. In accordance with the standard structure of the quiz show, the values increase as the game progresses, and the monetary ranges in the Double Jeopardy round are always double those of the opening round. Contestants must respond to the provided clues using the traditional format of the program.
