85 Johnny Olsen voice-over-THIS! IS! JEOPARDY! Here's our challenger—he's a governor from Hope, Arkansas, and a big fan of Elvis Presley—Billlll Clinton! Bill will face our reigning champion—a president of the United States from Greenwich, Connecticut, and Houston, "Texas—Georrrge Bush! George's four-year winnings include the Defeat of Saddam Hussein, The Fall of Communism, and a total prize package worth Five Trillion Dollars of National Debt! And now the host of Jeopardy, Alexxxx Tre-beck! Jeopardy Theme Song: Naa-Na Naa-Na Naa-Na Naaaa.

Alex: Welcome to the Tournament of Presidential Champions! You survived the grueling primary rounds, and now this is for all the marbles. I'll put the board in motion(Boop BoopBoop!). Our categories: The Economy . .. Foreign Policy... Family Values... Healthcare ... and "Starts with an M." As the incumbent champion, George leads off. Remember to frame your response in the form of a question. GB: I'll, uh, take Family Values for 100, Alex. AT: The answer is . . .Jim Kreitman!GB: Uh, Who recently had a child in Tokyo? AT: Can you be more specific? GB: I'll try—the whole Japan Thing makes me queasy, you know. Uh, is it "Whose wife Andrea had a girl named Samantha Hana Kreitman, creating the perfect two-parent family unit?" AT: Correct for 100! Choose again. GB: I'll stick with Family Values for 200. AT: Your favorite category. The answer is... "He recently got engaged to be married after seven years of dating." Bill, you buzzed in first. BC: Who is Jeff Johnson?AT: That's right! Jeff and Betsy are finally tying the knot. The lucky couple are helping our ailing economy by working for Microsoft in Seattle. Bill, you have control of the board. BC: Healthcare for 100, Alex. AT: The answer is: "He is pursuing his residency in Chicago in plastic and reconstructive surgery, following three years at Baylor College of Medicine and his recent marriage to Kara Weigle." GB: Who is Jon Sollender? I'll take The Economy for 100. AT: And it's a Daily Double! You have 200 dollars—will you wager it all? GB: Nope. Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture. I'll wager 100, Alex. AT: Here's the clue. He recendy wrote this: "Not fat, no condo, no mortgage, no kids, no Ph.D. program, no foreign travel, but am a lawyer, which is sufficient to make my entire post-Dartmouth existence a cliche." BC: Who is Joe Riley? Okay, I'll take Foreign Policy for 100. AT: And the answer is: She recently returned from an international exercise aboard the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk, where she evaluated antiair warfare tactics. GB: Who is Colleen Keller? "Starts with an M" for 100, Alex.

AT: The answer is: He ran into newly arrived Dr. and Mrs. Sollender on a street in Chicago exactly two minutes after Jon said, "I wonder how long before we run into somebody I know from Dartmouth." Yes, Bill? BC: Who is Mark Keoulogeorge? I'll take "Starts with an M" for 500, Alex. AT: Last question this round. The answer is: "The word that comes to mind most often when people think of Dan Quayle." Yes, Bill? BC: What is Moron, Alex? AT: No, I'm sorry. George? GB: What is Martyr, Alex? AT: I'm sorry, you're both wrong; we'll subtract 500 points from each of you. The correct answer was "Murphy Brown." Stay tuned, and after this commercial break we'll come back for Double Jeopardy. As you know, final Jeopardy will be in viewers' hands on November 4, so vote early and vote often! VO: This is Johnny Olsen speaking.
