Pannoni3 AKA MIchael Pannoni placed on his Dailymotion page the 9/11/87 episode, from the last seven clues of the first round through the end. Categories in round one look to be Canada, Dry, Christmas, Seals, TV, and "Guide"

More significantly, one of the two losing challengers is Denny Golden, who shares a name, if not total identity, with the winner of the '74 ToC in the Fleming era.
The game (or what there is of it) is now in, here. Notes of interest: the last clue of POTPOURRI was just a continuation of the adjacent category about where presidents went to college, with the correct responses just being the first 6 presidents in order. Apparently Sharon had hit a neg earlier in the game with a response of "Who is Barbra Streisand?" (See AWARDS $200.) In TV $400, Sharon was credited with a response of "What is McHale's Navy?" in a clue just asking for McHale, further proving that how longstanding the rule has been that additional information does not make a response unacceptable so long as the additional information is not incorrect (see debate over the Friday 2015-07-25 Final). Before Final, Johnny Gilbert asked for postcards bearing the names, addresses, phone numbers, and ages of teenagers interested in appearing in the 2nd Teen Tournament. The credits chat took place behind the lecterns, with no thought to proper blocking--audience members only got a view of the back of Den's rather large frame blocking view of the other players. On the whole, the material was much easier than a modern game.

I'm wondering if the original recorder of this game rushed to start the tape going once he or she realized (likely after the interview portion) that "Den" was the Fleming-era ToC winner.
The obit and some of the public-webpage condolences mention that he was nicknamed "The Jeopardy Guy". There's no specific mention that he appeared in the Trebek era, in that show aired September 11, 1987, but it seems reasonably likely it was the same person.

One thing to note from today's 1991 game: Spoiler
Rand bet the farm from a leading position.
I tend to be a little more lenient on early (i.e. pre season 10 or so) players in regards to betting, as they didn't have many of the resources we do. (Yeah, I know, math is math, but still.) As demonstrated by the fact that the very first triple zero game - rarer in that no one was tied going into Final - was in episode 2

The Archive is far from complete for such instances, but I'm curious how the victories break down by podium for three new players? Does the person who draws the champ's spot have some kind of psychological advantage? My instincts tell me this will not be a 33% across the board stat. Paging cheezguyty.

That FJ is a little brutal in terms of having enough time to write it down, even if you know the answer.

I found 92 regular-play games in the Archive with three new players (three of those games ended in a tie). The winner(s) came from the left podium 34 times, the middle podium 29 times, and the right podium 27 times.

Thanks for the research on fresh start players and with the games in so far it's a little more evenly distributed than I thought it might be. I like that it goes 1-2-3.

Don't leave us in suspense. Where were the tied players standing?

All three times (March 12, 1987, September 5, 1997, and July 19, 2001), the winners happened to be from the left and right podiums.

I would also like that if there were "special text" category headings (is this the very first?) that there's a link to a screenshot as well. (This is the standard for when it's don nowadays such as if the category heading is a video intro by the Clur Crew or a logo or something like that)

'I could have done a .jpg tag and linked to Flickr where the image is, but that move has not been received well in the past. RKS can take the image from this post and store it in the proper place and set up the link if he wants for another solution.
