Catchphrases
"Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of all of us, welcome to America's favorite answer-and-question-game, Jeopardy!. You know how we play it: we provide the categories and the answers, and then it's up to our contestants to give us the right questions. Players, as you know, any time you recognize an answer you're free to ring in; however, I do want to caution you about the Jeopardy!: if you are wrong, the value of the answer will be deducted from your score. But, to help you add to your winnings, we have hidden somewhere on the board a Daily Double; if you're lucky enough uncover that, you'll have an opportunity to double any or all of your winnings up to that point in the round. And it's very important that you try to win as much money as possible, because only the player with the most cash at the end of the day will wind up keeping his or her winnings. Alright, we'll play the game until you hear this sound: (low-pitched doo-doo sound) That will signify that the end of the round. If you're ready to begin, pick up your signaling devices, but do not ring in until the answer is fully exposed. If you're ready, then let's play Jeopardy! - Alex Trebek from the current run's series premiere on September 10, 1984
