Jeopardy! Celebrates 8,000th episode!

Todays Jeopardy!'s show was the 8,000th episode. They had a special category on the show. SALUTE TO 8,000. I did not know that it was until the category came up. S-8000 was actually the 5/24 episode. That was part of James Holtzhaur's run when he got $2M. That wasnt mentioned on-air though. I heard they counted a few reruns as new episodes as well. So that wasn't the 8,000th and todays show was the 8,000th. This show was S-8065. The shows always do some themed puzzles/categories for their milestone shows. Wheel is over 1000 shows behind though since they only do 195 episodes a year instead of 230. And it was a nice show too. A new champion! Hard to believe Alex did 8,000 shows hosting. This might be his final season though.
