Art Fleming was the best. Anyway, these contestants weren't too swift. How could they not know the Dublin and Versailles questions?
-
Art was much more supportive than Alex Trebek. Trebek lacks empathy big time. Art Fleming had the magic, always a smile in his voice.
-
the eifel tower?? really?

I love it when the players went to the Sports category early on in the round. Today, you usually see Jeopardy contestants avoid sports-related categories like the plague until it was absolutely necessary to go to them.

Such fun to watch this and spark my childhood memories. What I'd forgotten and it seemed immediately strange was the contestants being able to ring in at any point during the reading of the "answer." Thanks for posting this!

@raymar316 Definitely WAY better than Trebek! Agreed!
-
Art Fleming was all class.

Who could forget the legendary Art Fleming? He was much more charismatic than Alex Trebek is.

@68lincoln one too many bows there Art, I like Trebec but what bothers me is when the contestants fail to get one of the answers he reads it as if he knows all them... Art did it here with the Dublin question..

@beatleboy9020001 Well, it was daytime TV. Besides, after the quiz scandals of the 50s, NBC was reluctant to give away too much. It debuted in 1964, a time when the scandals were still pretty fresh in some peoples' minds.
This version of the ORIGINAL Jeopardy rocks! I remember watching the game show a lot as a kid during the 1960s and 1970s, enjoying every second of it!

Secretariat won the Triple Crown in 1973 not 1976, so, yes this can be from 1974. Fleming beats Trebek by a mile.
