The Music of Jeopardy! From a Lullaby to $100,000,000 — Twenty Thousand Hertz - The stories behind the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds.
It’s the most recognizable TV theme in America. But Jeopardy’s “Think Music” wasn’t originally written for a game show… It was written for a toddler. In this episode, we trace the unlikely journey of the Jeopardy theme, from Merv Griffin’s living room to over 10,000 episodes across six decades. Along the way, we explore the show’s sonic evolution, including honking buzzers, 80s synths, and orchestral remixes. Featuring Lisa Broffman , Jeopardy’s Consulting Co-Executive Producer.
