Joe,

JD>I was close <G> Never saw Art Fleming, or ever heard of him.  I remember Hug
JD>Downs, but I don't think it was because of Concentratrion.

  You'll see a clip of him in the original "Airplane" movie. The
contestant tells Art "I'll take Airplane Disasters for $400, Art"...and
he says "The answer is...The Mayflower" (which was the name of the plane
they were on. :P

  On the original Jeopardy! show, all the contestants got to keep
whatever money they won (unless it was negative, and they got nothing).
Now, only the winner of that day's competition keeps the money...the
other two get "parting gifts".

  Alex Trebec hosts it now...both Art Fleming and Don Pardo died years
ago.
