As I said in the thread about reruns, my station, WABC preempted this past Monday's episode for the Robin Hood Benefit Concert and pushed the episodes back by a day, so this is airing tomorrow. For anyone who watches on WAKA (the only station that aired it as of this post), did this rerun have the opening from the original airing where Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza, Cosmo Kramer, and Elaine Benes promoted a category called SOME BRAINTEASERS ABOUT SEINFELD? I don't think it did because I have the DVD that Jeopardy! released in 2005 and during this episode, they removed the intro.

The Seinfeld opening is not included with the 5/15 re-airing. 2020 Ken talks briefly about the match before it begins. The game is of course archived and the link at the top works to see the original opening. http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=62

I think it's worth mentioning that David Hankins had a much better showing on Millionaire several years later.
To be exact, he won $100,000 on Millionaire on March 8 and 9, 2011, when Meredith Viera was still hosting (she now hosts 25 Words or Less).
I thought there was a thread on this board that provided evidence that Nancy Zerg was a Wheel of Fortune employee around the time of this episode but with a different last name citing a TV Guide article with her picture about how contestants for Wheel of Fortune got selected, but I couldn't find the thread. I wasn't sure how true that was, and whether or not that was a violation of the rules at the time.
Welp, local weather in Boston eliminated Ken's intro and about 6-7 clues of DJ! plus FJ!, but we got the very end. Can't complain; safety first, and they started right with clue 1. Plus, we have the archive to make up missed clues.
Color me unsurprised that Nancy got the puffy shirt clue right. I ran the "let's advertise with softball clues" category, despite being distracted by the fact that the first four clues all tied in to the category puns. (Well, festivus was a Christmas gift, so I guess not quite...but still, they have 9 seasons. Pick another clip!)
I stalled on "hanging chad" simply because it seemed a little dated for a reference, but it was my closest guess despite clamming. Had it been 2004, or had I -REMEMBERED- that the episode was in 2004, I definitely would have lockboxed in that response.
Fortunately, that got me in tune for the 2004 sports stadium category - I went 2/3 in that, despite all three of them being outdated.
Interestingly, I think it was the DDs, and not FJ!, that was really Ken's undoing. I'd NHO either of them in DJ!, so I sympathize.

If my math is correct, his second DD bet would not have been enough for a lock in the end. ($14,400 + $4,800 = $19,200.)
Sadly, it's not. He would have had (14,400 + 9600 = 24000) and a lock.
