I have and I think at least one other here has. Thus it is no less than 2. I bet out of about 30,000 people registered, there will be more than 3 and less than 30.
I was on in 1974, on the first series hosted by Art James. I came in second.
I know 5 time champ was, you guessed it, a 5 time champ.
That is all I can contribute to this thread.

Is the question restricted to “on Jeopardy” or could we postulate the possibility of a typographical error and relate our experiences of having been “in jeopardy”?
Mr. Moto pointed out in another thread he was on Jeopardy. And The Man Who holds the record for the largest one-day winnings.
Wasn’t the host Art Fleming?
I made the next-to-last rung in tryouts held in Atlantic City. I passed the first stage (get 7 out of 10 questions right), then the second round (70 out of 100 questions right), then a live-action Q and A session. They told us that the actual contestants would be chosen from the “survivors” of that group, but there was siomething like a 1 - in - 5 chance of being called to be on the show. I wasn’t.
I’ve never been on Jeopardy, nor have I ever been in your kitchen.
You’re right. Art James was the host of Concentration, among other game shows. It was a long time ago!
Don Pardo was the announcer then. He later was the announcer for Saturday Night Live.
I got past the first round, but I was starting a new job on the day I was supposed to drive down the NBC affiliate for the second round testing.
Now I’ll never know if I could have palled around with Alex.
I weep daily as a result.
I was on in 1988. Came in third (bet it all on Final Jeopardy, and lost. Go ahead…ask me which presidents were widowed & remarried while in office.) Won a stove.
I take consolation in the fact that I was leading after the first round, and Alex called it “impressive”.
Who is James Buchanan?
I’ve been on … my computer CD ROM version of Jeopardy. Alex said I was “really putting on a show”. He says that a lot.
Who are John Tyler and Grover Cleaveland?
No – James Buchanan is the only bachelor president – and the only Pennsylvania native.
I was on in 1994 – won $46,000 in three days.
I was on in 1994. Won five games, and $62,000. I made it to the semi-finals in the tournament.
Confirming my appearance in 2000. I came in second, and I was the only one to Get Final Jeopardy right.
(In 1996, she told Women’s Sport and Fitness “Everywhere I go, people want to pick me up and carry me.”
Second place was good for a week in Puerto Rico. Mrs. Moto and I used it as our honeymoon.
Aw, dammit. I just figured out who 5 Time Champ is, and now I have to ponder this.
Thank goodness for Brian Dominy.

Yes, the single day record holder. And I really, REALY covet that podium/lectern they’re auctioning.
(Wait a minute. I just figured out who you are. Never mind. 
)
And just WHY aren’t you whiz kids answering thing in GQ? hmmmm?
(Except you, colibri)
My ex-wife won a washer/dryer. Does that count. I used to get smarter sleeping next to her. Osmosis, I guess.
As a 17-year-old high school senior (this was back in 1967), the show sent advance people to various cities around the country to screen kids for a week of teens on Jeopardy. I conned my high school (65 miles away from the big city) into sending me to represent the school. Maybe 25 of us gathered in the conference room of the local affiliate TV station (it was on NBC at the time) and took a written test.
Then the show’s advance man tested our ability to think on our feet by giving an answer and asking us to make up a question in turn. I was seated almost opposite him and he turned first to the kid on his right and said “my teacher.” By the time it got around to me, I was able to ask “Who is a former white slaver?” then he turned to the kid on his left and gave a similar wide-open short answer. Again, by the time it got to me, I had a clever answer. (I’ve since forgotten the second answer and question)
But the third time, he looked directly at me and said, “break the glass.” I fumbled something inane and no doubt blew any chance I had right there. Moments later I thought of what I should have said – “How do you get an elephant out of a phone booth?” (This was at a time when elephant jokes were all the rage)
As Madam (of Waylon Flowers and Madam) once said. “One day you lean down to adjuct the ankle straps on your wedgies, notice the elephant dung and confetti on the street, and realized the parade has passed you by.”
