Answer: The married lawyers from Kessler Park who appeared on “Jeopardy!” in different decades, with different hosts, both finishing in third place.

Question: Who are Scott Chase and Debra Witter ?

When Chase was a young lawyer in the U.S. Army, he watched “Jeopardy!” every day on his lunch break. He drove from Fort Lee, Va. to New York City to try out for the trivia show, and made the cut. It was 1974. Art Fleming was the host, and Don Pardo was the announcer.

Five shows a day were shot in a New York City studio, so Chase sat through several tapings before playing the game. He says he knew the correct Final Jeopardy response in all the prior games he’d watched, but none of the contestants got it right in his round.

He still remembers it. Category: “Monarchs.”

Answer: He assumed the throne the same year as King George VI, and he abdicated the year George died.

Question: Who is King Farouk of Egypt? He came in third place, but he got to keep the $160 in his pot, which he spent on a new desk.

Witter called into a radio show to answer a question for a shot to be eligible for a “Jeopardy!” cattle call in Dallas in 1997.

She and Chase, then newlyweds, decided to take a long weekend to L.A. and catch a Dodgers game. “Jeopardy!” does not pay the way for its contestants.

As in decades past, five shows were shot each day, giving Witter a chance to watch game after game being filmed until it was her turn.

She says she knew most of the correct responses, but her thumb wasn’t quick enough on the buzzer. Host Alex Trebek, she recalls, was not a warm person.

She also came in third, and she also remembers Final Jeopardy. Category: “Nicknames.”

Answer: Ezra Pound called him “The Old Possum.”

Question: Who was T.S. Eliot?

Witter did not get to keep the money in her pot, but she won a Jeopardy board game and some other prizes, which she declined to avoid paying the taxes.

She and her coworkers gathered around the TV the day of her episode, but it was preempted in our market for an after-school special.

“What are the chances?” Witter says. “Of all things.”

The local TV station mailed her a VHS later.

Chase and Witter rarely get to watch “Jeopardy!” these days, but you should want them on your pub quiz team. On a cruise last year, they won two bottles of wine at trivia night.
