Imagine if Ken’s answer of “Jones” was deemed insufficient (such as presidents when the correct response is “Roosevelt”, but which one?). The legend would never have materialized, or even started for that matter.
On 2nd thought, only one Jones could have satisfied this clue.
Wow, this game was from a long time ago and I didn’t even join fikkle fame at that time and I didn’t even know that you had opened this site up VJ. Anyway though, Wasn’t sam Walton the founder of Sam’s Club and Walmart and made them the most successful stores across america back then? It’s sad that the one that I went to in New Jersey was out of business, this was along US 18 in New Brunswick at that time.
The olympics should actually screen the participants carefully to make sure they are not using drugs or doing any dope dealing because that is an automatic disqualification. Do you remember Lance Armstrong? He was also found guilty of dope dealing and he wasn’t allowed back into the olympic games. He returned the bronze medal afterwards.
@Lou, I was not watching Jeopardy! when this game first aired because I couldn’t remember what time it came on so this was the first time I saw this episode and this site did not exist in 2004.
