I got it!

And I didn't need the "unusual" TOM.
I got it with the TOM.

Bodil’s prize gave me a chuckle after I noticed he got J17.

Courtesy games shared with Archivists, 1995-11-27 is now in the Archive: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=8026

John Lively, Alexandra Grochol, and Tim Adams.

Though Alexandra was presumably returned as a result of this Final, I have not added any errata, though I'm sure there was clearly some issue with the clue.

Though I never saw the eps when they aired on GSN, I know that it was one of the two of 11/28/95 or 11/29/95 that GSN had skipped - so I'm glad to see that both eps made their way into the Archive.

Now if only someone had 11/30/95 (and the missing parts of 12/12/95) we would have the entirety of the start of S12 until the completely missing 1/5/96.

Courtesy games shared with Archivists, 1995-12-07: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=8031

Debra Witter, Beth Rambo, and Gwen LaTray.

Alex's children Matthew & Emily appeared on stage before Final Jeopardy! — I'm reasonably certain that this has shown up in various clip montages over the years.

Courtesy games shared with Archivists, 1994-04-27 has been entered: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=8030

Edwin Gulley vs. David Connor vs. Mark Sydel

Lots of Ws by the guys, but if they were good enough for 53R then the 5 TS clues should have been 1 or 2 at most.

Archivists do not have any other S10 games at this time. We do have 12/12/95 & 1/5/96 mentioned in the post above.

From kingskip's DVDs I have entered Brad Plovan's 2nd game, December 12, 1995, vs. George Seymour vs. Claudia Grimes. This episode began with a short presentation on Jeopardy's partnership with the USO, and as such they played only 10 clues before the first commercial. Kingskip's DVD was missing the second segment, so placeholders have been added to make the scores add up correctly going into DJ!. Based on my math, it looks like they still got through almost all the J! round material. Fortunately, the Daily Double was played in that first segment.

It was mentioned that George was chosen from one of their USO contestant searches, and he played in uniform.

Note to Mark Barrett to check out that 1980s TELEVISION category in DJ!, especially the frustrating $400 clue:
1 of the 3 women who played Chris Cagney, partner of Tyne Daly's Mary Beth Lacey
Bugs me to no end that Brad chose one of the actresses from the pilots, instead of the Emmy-winning main actress, but what you gonna do?
Spoiler
Who are Sharon Gless, Loretta Swit or Meg Foster?
Note to future corrections suggesters, the quotation marks in BRITISH AUTHORS for $600 and $800 are both accurate as to how the show placed (or didn't place) them.

Is POTPOURRI for $600 mentioned in the musical?

Poor Claudia pulled out the correct response to the Daily Double at 12-LETTER WORDS for $400, but she tacked on an "s", making it 13 letters. :(

Jeopardy Pavlov time: "Army surgeon"
Spoiler
Who is Walter Reed? Expect a mention of "yellow fever" or "mosquitoes" or "hospital" in there as well.
And finally, the Final Jeopardy clue is a Thing Worth Knowing:
In 1945 this Frenchman told his countrymen, "If I treated with the enemy, it was to spare you"
Spoiler
Philippe Pétain
Most recent appearance was this year's Teacher's Tournament finals. Eventual winner Jason correctly identified him.

More later, I hope.
Thanks to games shared with Archivists, this game is now complete.

George was found at a USO stop in Japan.

The players, in fact, got through all of the material.

Finally—and I hope Myron forgives me for taking this—we get to welcome 1997 Formula 1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve to the J! Canon.

I remember that FJ. I confidently went with the same incorrect (-ish?) response the contestants did, having learned of him via a Guinness Book. It was the first time I had ever heard of the correct response.

Debra Witter, Beth Rambo, and Gwen LaTray.
The game after a 5xer was retired was frequently a bit of a comedown, but Gwen made an impressive showing. It took a major come from behind by a 5xer-to-be to take her out.

Courtesy games shared with Archivists, 1996-01-05: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=8032

Tom Russ, Earl Williams, and Gareth Jones.

J28 & J30 - yes, there was a period on screen ending the clue for both of these.

DJ - Lots of incorrect responses in this round.

Courtesy games shared with Archivists, Barbara Walker game 1, 1996-01-10: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=8033

Marion Hughes, Barbara Walker, Gail Bock.

Barbara got off to a slow start with some "forgot the category" errors, but was clearly very skilled.

DJ2 - Interesting banter between Alex and Barbara.

DJ30 - Oof. Times two.

Phyllis Betz vs. Jim Morgan vs. Adam Goldberg (not either of the "famous" ones)

Walt Senterfitt
John Cuthbertson
David Hillinck

Others?

Courtesy games shared with Archivists, 1996-02-07: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=8036

Jess Grimm, Marie Corcoran, and Don Richardson

You've often got to be better than 0-for–the betting clues to win on this show in the mid-'90s.

Figured I'd get this one in, setting the stage for the game that I'm predicting Mark will put in tomorrow.

Courtesy games shared with Archivists, 1996-03-29: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=8037

Gary Fulcomer, Susan Hoppe, and Judy Zellers.

This fills in a longtime gap—both games on either side have IDs under 500.

Courtesy games shared with Archivists, Beryl Arbit game 2, 1986-01-28: https://j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=8039

Carol McAvoy, Jeff Huitzo, and Beryl Arbit.

Per his interview, Jeff's antique consulting specialty was restoration & maintenance, in case this gets anyone anywhere in terms of potentially correcting or confirming his last name. It's pronounced "WHEAT-so".
