How ‘Jeopardy!’ Evolved Into a TV Icon
ABC's Jeopardy! has evolved over 50 years, from Art Fleming to Ken Jennings, shaping TV history with major changes and unforgettable moments.
Jeopardy! is one of the longest-running game shows, with over 50 years on the screens. It's certainly gone through its fair share of growing pains. The show originally aired in the 60s but was canceled and didn't return until the 80s. The small break hasn't affected the relevance or popularity of Jeopardy! though. Over the years, the series won a Peabody award in 2012, which is given to those who have shown excellence in the media industry. The show has also won dozens of Daytime Emmy Awards, ultimately solidifying the game show's spot in American pop culture.
