"JEOPARDY!" AMERICA'S FAVORITE QUIZ SHOW^® LAUNCHES ITS FIRST-EVER ONLINE TESTING EVENT MARCH 28, 29 & 30th

(CULVER CITY, CA, March 22, 2006) For the first time ever, Jeopardy! will give its fans a more convenient and accessible way to become a contestant on the nation's #1 quiz show. Launching March 28th, 29th and 30th, the challenging Jeopardy! contestant test will be offered online as the first step toward being on the show.

Every year, the Jeopardy! contestant coordinators travel the nation seeking and testing over 25,000 potential contestants through an exclusive audition process. Now, online testing will allow even more Jeopardy! fans the chance to participate. The lucky applicants who pass the online test and are selected for an interview will be invited to come to their preferred audition city and meet the contestant coordinating team in person. During Spring and Summer of 2006, the coordinators will visit over a dozen cities across the country. Ultimately only 400 people per year will be chosen to compete at the famous Jeopardy! podiums.

"Our online testing process allows our many viewers the opportunity to take the test from their very own computer, at home, at the office----virtually anywhere," said Harry Friedman, Executive Producer of Jeopardy! "Now we can meet thousands of potential contestants who may not have had the opportunity to try out before. "

The preliminary online screening consists of a 50-question, 50-category test which takes approximately ten minutes to complete. For more information, go to www.jeopardy.com for details and a complete list of rules.
