Seamus,

Of course! Art was wonderful!

Jeopardy premiered on March 30, 1964, at 11:30 A.M. Eastern time. The first categories in the Jeopardy round were Television, Women, Fictional Characters, Odds and Ends, American History, and Science; Double Jeopardy categories on the first episode were U.S. Geography, Sports, The Funnies, Words, Opera, and Famous Names. The first Final Jeopardy answer, under the category Famous Quotes, was "'Good night sweet prince' was originally said to him" (correct question: Who was Hamlet?). Mary Eubanks of North Carolina was the show's first champion, winning $345.
