S5·E20 Show #935

Episode recap

The episode identified as Show #935, the twentieth installment of the fifth season of the American quiz program Jeopardy!, presented three new contestants: Sue Honor, Bob Johnson and Doak Fairey. As with each broadcast of the series, the competition followed the established three‑round format. In the opening Jeopardy! round the three participants selected from a board of six categories, each containing five clues of increasing monetary value. After the clues were read, the contestants responded in the form of a question, with correct responses adding the clue’s dollar amount to the player’s score and incorrect answers deducting the same amount. The round concluded when the board was cleared or the timer expired.

The Double Jeopardy! round repeated the structure with a second board of six categories, but the clue values were doubled, allowing larger swings in the contestants’ totals. Throughout both rounds Alex Trebek served as the host, guiding the play, while Johnny Gilbert provided the familiar opening and closing announcements. The episode also featured the customary “Daily Double” clues, which gave the contestant who found them the option to wager any portion of their current score before hearing the clue.

Following the two main rounds, the game moved to Final Jeopardy!. The three contestants were presented with a single clue and a category, after which they wrote down their responses and wagers. The final scores were then revealed, determining the winner, the runner‑up and the third‑place finisher. The episode concluded with the customary post‑game interview of the champion, during which Trebek discussed the contestant’s performance and offered a brief commentary on the game’s highlights.

No specific scores, wagers or final rankings are provided in the available material, so the recap remains limited to the participants and the standard structure of the program as presented in this season‑five broadcast.
