Yeah, originally Jeopardy! (should be always rendered with the exclamation point, btw) was Merv Griffin's Idea for a "guess the question" TV show, which eventually degenerated to a regular trivia quiz show with weird phrasing.
At this point though, Jeopardy! so dominates American quiz show consciousness that contestants on other quiz shows often accidentally phrase their answers as a question.
I don't know about streaming, but you'll probably be able to find a torrent of the episode by tomorrow at the latest.
