Some time last year, someone in a discord server was asking about an episode of Jeopardy where SpongeBob read the questions for a category. Iirc he said they used the same model of SpongeBob used for SpongeBob's Nicktoon Summer Splash and the Nicktoons TV launch promo.

I decided to look into it and apparently the episode in question was part of Jeopardy kids week and aired on January 9th 2003. So far I haven't found any footage of the episode but I did find a page on J! Archive that confirms its existence.

j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=3066

If anyone think they might have or knows someone who might have a recording of this episode, please share it cause I'd really like to see it.

Well this isn't proof of the episode or anything but more credence for the event's existence.

The highlighted part is an excerpt from the 7 January 2003 edition of The Buffalo News on pg 8. It sadly only shows evidence for Game 3 of the event, although it is the only reference to the event that I could find in Newspaper archives.

Hereare some links to indexes of the episode on some TV agglomeration websites.

Honestly, it's from a famous production. Could someone reach out to Sony Pictures about the episode and see if it is possible to find it? They were and still are the production company for the show.

SO, I've found a few different possible leads.

Patrick Derocher (one of the kid contestants on this show) is a writer for Medium.com. Here's his profile, including a link to his twitter: medium.com/@prderocher

Francis Musella (another contestant) was featured in an article for Sun Sentinel, dated January 8, 2003: web.archive.org/web/20230705060217/https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2003/01/08/all-the-right-questions/

This one might be bogus (and is kinda sketchy), but ww2.putlocker.onl/show/jeopardy/season/19/episode/94 claims to host the episode. Unfortunately, it's locked behind a sign-up and/or paywall, but I think it is still worth looking into.

100% bogus, it's putlocker (haven't heard that name in ages), and if it was real, the source would be from a torrent site

well, considering that it was shown in early 2003 (January 9th 2003) and that Jeopardy is extremely popular and that rating go high during late and early times of the year for TV programs in general, it shouldn't take a long time to find

What if we contacted the TV stations that broadcasted the episode and see if they still have a copy? I potentially found a phone number for WPBF-TV Channel 25, one of the stations mentioned in the article I posted earlier: m.npbchamber.chambermaster.com/Mobile/Members/memberdetails/wpbf-tv-channel-25

I haven't called them yet.

But for SpongeBob, this one caught my interest.

This is a blues clues question? The normal host is also reading it. I found a clip from a kids week (not sure if its the same one) about spongebob, but like the blues clues question linked, its just alex trebek reading it as usual youtu.be/VDOmTZwAdjw
