From 1964-1975 and 1978-1979
Art Fleming from 1964-1975 and 1978-1979
Art Fleming was the host of the original Jeopardy gameshow that ran from 1964 - 1975 during the day. Due to flagging ratings because of its poor daytime time slot, the show was taken off the air after the 1975 season. In 1978, it was resurrected as The All-New Jeopardy again with Art Fleming as its host and again airing during the day. It only lasted one season. The first Jeopardy with Alex Trebek as host was aired on September 10, 1984 in its present evening time slot.
It apparently happened at least once, maybe twice, on the original Art Fleming version. Because nobody could play Final Jeopardy, Art talked to the contestants to fill the time normally filled by Final Jeopardy. It is not known to have happened on the current version.
The original version of the show from March 30 1964 was hosted by Art Fleming.

In the original Art Fleming Version of Jeopardy their was at least one time when none of the contestants fiinshed Double Jeopardy with more than $0 and so the did not even have a final Jeopardy Clue that day. On March 16th, 2011 only one contestant finished Double Jeopardy with a positive amount and went on to play Final Jeopardy alone.
