When “Weird Al” Yankovic did a parody of the Greg Kihn Band hit “Jeopardy”, which had nothing to do with the game show, in early 1984, Alʹs game show treatment of “(I Lost on) Jeopardy” created a buzz that prompted a tremendously popular revival of the long-missed game show starting in the fall of 1984 when Merv Griffin Productions began a new updated nighttime version that was paired with another TV hit, “Wheel of Fortune”.
