"Weird Al" Yankovic - "I Lost On Jeopardy!" (1984)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRW8gWJzrrU
This music video shows Al fantasizing a stint on the 1964-75 era of Jeopardy!, playing against a plumber and an architect.
Near the end of the video, Don Pardo announces to Al, upon losing the last round:
"That's right Al, you lost! And let me tell you what you didn't win: A 20-volume set of the Encyclopedia International! A case of Turtle Wax! And a year's supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat! But that's not all! You also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people! And you brought shame and disgrace on your family name for generations to come! You don't get to come back tomorrow! You don't even get a lousy copy of our home game! You're a complete loser!!!"
I dedicate these words of Don's to Ken Jennings.
The Milton Bradley board game version of J! as shown here when Don says "You don't even get a lousy copy of our home game!" is the 14th edition from 1982, which was released 3 years after the cancellation of the 1978-79 The All-New Jeopardy! Note that there are actually 13 editions of the MB J! board game, but they skipped the 13 for superstitious reasons, so it is volumes 1-12 and 14.
