Jeopardy! was created by Merv Griffin in 1964. It is a television game show that alters the pattern of traditional quiz competitions. The game show reverses the conventional question-and-answer format and instead gives participants a bunch of clues from which they have to identify an answer. The twist is that the final answer has to be given in the form of a question.
