He has not been taping Jeopardy for the past month due to health issues. Are they sure he’ll be recovered in time?

This might turn out OK. Look how pathetic most debates are when moderated by professional journalists

"I Lost On Jeopardy" music video by Weird Al Yankovic

It's from 1984, a parody of "I Was In Jeopardy". Art Fleming and Don Pardo appear in it.
