What television quiz show debuted on this date in 1964?
The show was hosted by Art Fleming in the 60s and 70s, and of course, by Alex Trebek since 1984. The original dollar values for the questions were $10, $20, $30, $40 and $50. They’re worth 10 times that now.
The dollar amounts were all doubled at the end of 2001. So the initial amounts are actually now 20 times those of the original.
