S5·E14 Show #929

Episode recap

The episode identified as season 5, episode 14 of the American quiz program Jeopardy! (show number 929) follows the series’ established format in which three contestants compete to answer general‑knowledge clues presented in the form of answers. The broadcast features Richard Rebhun, Jeff Gitomer and Chris Shea as the day’s challengers. As with every installment of the series, the competition is overseen by host Alex Trebek, whose role is to read the clues and manage the flow of the game, while announcer Johnny Gilbert provides introductions and voice‑over commentary.

The episode proceeds through the three traditional rounds. In the opening Jeopardy! round, each contestant selects a category and a dollar value, then attempts to supply the correct question to the clue presented by Trebek. Correct responses add the selected amount to the contestant’s score, while incorrect answers deduct the same amount. After the first round concludes, the board is cleared and the Double Jeopardy! round begins, offering higher‑value clues and two Daily Doubles that allow a contestant to wager any portion of their accumulated total. The episode maintains the same pacing and timing cues that have defined the series since its debut, with Trebek moving between the boards and the contestants responding via their buzzers.

Following Double Jeopardy! the three competitors face the Final Jeopardy! segment. Trebek reveals a single clue, and each contestant writes down a response and a wager based on their standing after the previous round. The final scores are then revealed, determining the winner of the day’s game. Although the specific categories, clue values, and final scores are not detailed in the available synopsis, the episode adheres to the standard Jeopardy! structure that has been documented in the series’ long‑running format.

The broadcast is listed among the 1984‑era episodes of Jeopardy! and is catalogued in television databases such as The Movie Database (TMDB) and the Czech‑language film site ČSFD, confirming its placement within the fifth season’s schedule. The episode’s inclusion in television listings, such as those compiled by On TV Tonight, reflects its original air date as part of the regular weekday programming block that has made Jeopardy! a staple of American television.
