From the Niagara Falls Review:
For the first 10 minutes of Thursday night’s airing of the popular game show Jeopardy, contestants did all they could to steer clear of the category “Niagara Falls.”
But in the end, they had had no trouble finding the right questions to match up with all five answers dealing with Honeymoon Capital history and landmarks.
The episode featured the five-time Emmy Award winner Alex Trebek in clue clips filmed standing in front of the falls and riding on the Maid of The Mist. The Sudbury-born Trebek visited the city in October, as part of a promotional trip to Toronto to mark “Jeopardy” coming to the CBC.
One clue used a photo borrowed from the Niagara Falls Public Library. The photo showed schoolteacher Annie Taylor, the first person to conquer Niagara Falls back in 1901, standing beside the barrel in which she made her famous plunge.
