Jeopardy! is a long-running American television quiz show created by Merv Griffin that first aired in 1964 and returned in a syndicated revival in 1984. Its theme music, also written by Griffin, became one of the most recognisable quiz-show sounds in television, especially the think music played while contestants write their final answers. Clean edits without talking spread through YouTube, TikTok and meme videos, where editors reuse the closing music to frame quizzes, trivia challenges and joke verdicts. It endures because a few seconds instantly tell viewers a result is coming.
