Contestant Podium #1 with Buzz-In Button and Lit Graphics (Retired 2002) from Jeopardy (CBS TV, 1984-). Contestant Podium #1, a Ventex VT9030-120 Indoor Type 7, measuring 46"H x 38"W x 29"D and weighing 300 lbs., constructed out of wood and metal and featuring a contestant signaling button, a ring-in light, and a custom backlit acrylic insert bearing the "Jeopardy!" logo from the Emmy Award-winning gameshow Jeopardy. Accompanied by a black acrylic presentation plaque, measuring 8"H x 10"L, that reads, "Jeopardy!" and signed in silver sharpie, "Alex Trebek." This podium was used at 1,300 show tapings during the 1990s, and was the returning champion's spot where Brad Rutter became the Million Dollar Master. It is also where celebrity guests including Graham Nash and Jodie Foster played the answer and question game before the podium was retired in 2002. (Electronics untested). Acquired from "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek and executive producer Harry Friedman. Very Good, with chipping to the edges, scratching, surface loss, and soiling to the gray fabric.
