Happy 46th Birthday to my favorite gameshow! party:

Happy Birthday to "Jeopardy!"And I'm glad to see that the losers do NOT NOW leave empty handed.The champion gets to keep all the money they've won.NOW the second place finisher gets $2000 and the third place finisher gets$1000,where as before,they got nothing.And that's the way it should be.I hope they keep this up.
