hello, everyone. this week we're opening up the "jeopardy!" vault to showcase the best episodes from the first decade of "jeopardy!" one of the most memorable contestants ever to appear on "jeopardy!" was frank spangenberg, a new york city transit cop. when frank appeared in the fifth season of the show, he demolished all the "jeopardy!" records. in fact, in this his last show, he set a one-day winnings record, a five-day winnings record of over $102,000, and earned so much that he exceeded the $75,000 maximum amount that a network would allow people to win on a game show. so his excess amounts were donated to the gift of love hospice, a charity in new york city. all of this in one episode, starting now. this is "jeopardy!" now entering the studio are today's contestants-- a graduate student originally from moss point, mississippi...
7:00 pm
a teacher from st. charles, missouri... and our returning champion-- a police officer from flushing, new york... ...whose 4-day cash winnings total... and now here is the host of "jeopardy!"--alex trebek! [ applause ] thank you, johnny. thank you, ladies and gentlemen. hi, folks, and welcome to what should be a most exciting half hour of play, primarily because of our returning champion, frank. in the five and a half years, we have done "jeopardy!" frank has earned after just four regular games more money than all other contestants with the exception of two-- chuck forrest three years ago and bob blake, a five-time champion from earlier this year. barbara and murdock have had an opportunity to watch frank in action, so they know they are in for a tough half hour. but good luck to all three of you.
