Art Fleming & Alex Trebek were both born to fit into hosting this show.Again RIP ART & ALEX!!

I'm glad the elimination rule had already disappeared by the time Alex Trebek became the presenter.

The late Art Fleming sure put on some weight when he hosted the Jeopardy reboot from 1978-79!!

"Well, my friends, I have a very sad announcement to make. At this time, this is the last Jeopardy telecast on NBC. I would like to thank the literally hundreds of people involved with our program, for all their kind, thoughtful efforts over the many, many weeks that we've been with you. I'd like to thank first the crew here in our studios, who worked so diligently behind the scenes, our production staff, our contestants, and most of all, our viewers. Until next time, thank you again for all your thoughts. God bless and see you soon. Bye now."

I don't ever the Jeopardy with Art Fleming one. I was a kid back then playing and enjoying the outside when I was young, but now I am older I have been watching the Art Fleming ones. They were good.

Aired on NBC daytime Friday, March 2, 1979.

In the 1990s Charlie Seiter wrote books about popular technologies and the company where I worked published his books.

Surreal to think that if this version had been as or more successful as the original 1964-1975 series, we might never have gotten the host/announcer combo of Alex Trebek and Johnny Gilbert.

Art Fleming was Jeopardy. I always enjoyed watching him. Ken Jennings is the first since Art Fleming who is molding Jeopardy.

A Final thought!! Being this was the last of the Art Fleming Jeopardy for the 2nd time!!-- when Susan won that SUPER JEOPARDY ALA HOLLYWOOD SQUARES/3 STRIKES FROM.PRICE IS RIGHT!! she should have won at least $10,000 & A NEW CAR 🚙!!

This version of Jeopardy gave a lot more money than the 1964-75 version. I just saw an episode of Jeopardy from 1974 here on KZread. The champion that lost the match had a 2-day total of $2,020.

Actually, those dollar amounts were worth more than today’s winnings.

Oh boy, Art taking a jab at the director… 😂

where?

I wish they can bring back the Bonus Round right now so that Players could Win another $5,000 because this is 2023 a New Year and Ken Jennings should make this happen although the Quiz Show is going strong which I give them a Credit..Really they should add more Games to that. I figured If Wheel Of Fortune Added more Games with the Bonus long time ago and it’s still doing it why not this one right now for Jeopardy? Because should do something different!

ART FLEMING WAS JEOPARDY 1964-1975 & 1978-79 FOR 2,858 EPISODES & ALEX TREBEK WAS JEOPARDY FOR 36 YEARS IN SYNDICATION 1984-2020 & 8,243 EPISODES!! NOW KEN JENNINGS & MAYIM BIALIK ARE CONTINUING THE JEOPARDY LEGACY!! BESIDES ART FLEMING AND ALEX TREBEK THANK YOU & RIP!! ART & ALEX & MR.MERV GRIFFIN & MR.DON PARDO & MR.JOHN HARLIN!!

Thank you, updated

I thought Don Pardo was the announcer of this version of Jeopardy!

Don Pardo announced the New York production of Jeopardy from 1964-1974. This version, produced in LA, was announced by John Harlan from 1978-1979.

Alex Trebek was a good host, but Art Fleming was way better and was born for the role of host for this show.

That hurts

This version of Jeopardy! might've lasted had they kept Final Jeopardy! where was Merv when this happened?

I think by this point Merv was most concerned with his late night talk show.

This old Super Final.Jeopardy is sort of like FINAL JEOPARDY ALA HOLLYWOOD SQUARES MEETS 3 STRIKES FROM THE PRICE IS RIGHT!!

STILL REMEMBER THE OLD "FRISCO DISCO"THEME WHICH WAS USED LATER FOR WHEEL OF FORTUNE AS A PRIZE CUE!! & THAT OLD MERV GRIFFIN PRODUCTIONS LOGO.

Also RIP DON PARDO & JOHN HARLAN & MERV GRIFFIN!!

Alex Trebek May had been a great Game Show host for this Title of Jeopardy, but Art Flemmings was the Gentleman that was ready when he prepared to host the Show. Art didn’t just have the First Round and Second Round to play, but he also added one more game which was of course the Bonus Round where the Players could Win up to $5,000 in Cash.

"God bless." If someone said that today they'd never work in Hollywood again.

Why did so called "Art Fleming" drop his last birth name? What was wrong with Arthur Fleming Fazzin, as monicker?! The omission of his last name showed disrespect of his heritage. It was probably done by pressure from a Studio big shot and or a greedy Business Manager, with the idea of perceived greater recognition & monetary gain?!

It would take WAY too long to explain it to you. And he changed his name way before Jeopardy. He did a little acting.
