Origins During Fleming Era
The first Jeopardy! games featuring high school students were held in 1967 on the original version of Jeopardy! hosted by Art Fleming. Not yet referred to as the "Teen Tournament", these games were known as the "Jeopardy! National College Scholarship Contest" and featured high school seniors competing for a $10,000 college scholarship fund. Contestants were recruited from participating high schools across the United States.

Famous quotes containing the words origins, fleming and/or era:
“Grown onto every inch of plate, except
Where the hinges let it move, were living things,
Barnacles, mussels, water weeds—and one
Blue bit of polished glass, glued there by time:
The origins of art.”
—Howard Moss (b. 1922)
“A medium Vodka dry Martini—with a slice of lemon peel. Shaken and not stirred, please. I would prefer Russian or Polish vodka.”
—Ian Fleming (1908–1964)
“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
