First, it was the twilight of the Alex Trebek era as we knew it—long before his diagnosis, but also before the show would later embrace a more overtly digital, meme-friendly identity. Trebek in 2007 was at his peak as a serene, occasionally sardonic eminence. The set was still dominated by the iconic, late-90s grid of blue and gold. The Daily Double sound effect had not yet been remastered.
