[quote name=\'Jimmy Owen\' date=\'Nov 23 2003, 08:46 AM\'] If you remember the 1984 60 Minutes piece on the NATPE covention, you'll recall Morley Safer telling Michael King that he had never heard of "Jeopardy!" Michael then had to tell him of the show's NBC track record. [/quote]
The segment showed a clip from the Fleming J!, not in the best quality; the clue shown was: The only state whose name ends in G(Wyoming). I'm not sure what year that would be from, or where it would come from. Clips from among the 20 seasons of J! were shown. Frank Spangenberg was interviewed in depth, and clips from his first five appearances from 1990 were shown. They went behind the scenes of the Yale college championship, telling us about how they took a 30 minute break to determine whether a response given was acceptable. Alex Trebek and producer Gary Johnson(seen as "The Judge" on the Challengers back in the day) were interviewed in depth. They showed the room where the writers discuss their clues and compile games. Merv was seen in a snippet, I think the same one seen on J!'s 4000th show last year, discussing how his wife at the time had the original idea for the show.
