Johnny Gilbert: And now, here is the host of 'JEOPARDY!'....ALEX TREBEK!
Alex Trebek: Thank you, Johnny Gilbert. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Good evening and welcome to what we believe will be the greatest 'Jeopardy!' tournament ever. For the first time in 36 years, we've managed to gather on our stage the 3 most successful contestants ever to play 'Jeopardy!'. Only thing that remains to be determined is which of these 3 is the best. The format for this tournament is simple - the first to win 3 matches goes home with $2,000,000 and the title THE GREATEST OF ALL-TIME. Each match will be two games, total points. The positioning of the 3 women on our stage right now was determined by random draw. But Amanda, Kim and Melissa will be behind these same lecterns throughout the tournament. To keep things fair, a random draw will be held before each game to determine who makes the first selection. Melissa, Kim and Amanda, welcome back. Good luck, let's get to work in the Jeopardy! round.

Amanda (voiceover): My name is Amanda Lopez. I'm the only Cuban-American Jeopardy! champion...and also the richest Jeopardy! champion. I was born in Miami, Florida and believe it or not, the first show I ever watched...was JEOPARDY! As soon as I was old enough, I went on the show and won over $500,000 in 26 games on the show. I then won another $100,000 in the Tournament of Champions....Million Dollar Masters - won that....Battle of the Decades...won it...faced off against IBM Watson with Kim Possible...got $250,000 for finishing 3rd....Ultimate Tournament of Champions....got another $2.5 million. More recently, I won the Jeopardy! All-Star Games, won another $1,000,000. So far, I've won over $5 million on Jeopardy! If I can win this one, it would be the icing on the cake of my Jeopardy! career.
