And Jeff Richmond, if you guys forgot already, is the same one who played Final Jeopardy against the house during the Ultimate TOC. Unfortunately, he did not make it to the finals to play against Ken Jennings.
Gary Giardina was actually in the 1986 $100,000 Tournament of Champions which included the "Game Shows" category and his episode was aired on November 6, 1986 meaning it was episode #49 of Season 3 and episode #439 overall.
Jennings, Rutter and Vered already went head-to-head-to-head in the Ultimate TOC. These guys already made enough career winnings. The idea of another UTOC doesn't seem so special anymore; especially involving these guys.
Over $172,000 won??? And this is back when the dollar values were halved and you only had 5 days to stay in! Man, I'd love to see his run. But yeah, dude, thanks for posting this. Haven't seen Super Jeopardy since I was 8 years old!
With the exception of Spangenburg, all $100,000+ winners won their 100K TOCs. Imagine Frank winning only $2,597 in 5 days and then winning his $100K tourney. He and Bob Blake had not played their TOC until the following season.
Actually, to be a bit more accurate, the only quarterfinal that is missing in this montage is the first one (Bob Verini VS. Bruce Naegeli VS. Steve Rogitz VS. Ouida Rellstab).
the only other time i've seen 4 podiums was that recent SNL celebrity jeopardy skit with tom hanks

Gary Giardina is famous for his Jeopardy! funny back in 1987.
Clue: By the fourth century A.D., Rome had 28 public ones stacked with rolls of papyrus
Gary: "What are public...toilets?"

Also if Super Jeopardy existed today on ABC during the Summer invite Ken Jennings, Mehrun Etebari, Brad Rutter, Jerome Vered, etc.

I would have to disagree. I know they have gone through a longer process to get to the $2,000,000 final. Still, it would be cool if they did this.

Burns Cameron? I have The Jeopardy Book (1990), and it says he was on the Art Fleming version and was the only one invited to Super Jeopardy.

Yep, that was Burns Cameron alright! The biggest winner on the original Art Fleming J!
