Behind the scenes

The episode proved to air posthumously as Alex Trebek had died on November 8, 2020; in fact, it aired sooner in tribute of him, which sucks because must we have the celebrity die in order for these episodes to air much sooner than they usually would do?
With every episode's title card, one of the gang announces the guest star, which is Velma this time.
While Johnny's claim of Max Kilobyte being the first "robotic contestant" is true, the real-world Jeopardy! did have contestants up against a machine called IBM Watson in 2011.
Daphne says "Jeepers" twice.
Velma says "Jinkies" once.
Fred says "Hold the phone" once.
Johnny introduces Shaggy as a contestant by calling him Norville.
In the first chase, the gang and Alex go backstage and find the original set from the 1964-1979 incarnation of Jeopardy!
The way Scooby sticks his head out of the barrel to see Max is the same as when Scooby stuck his head out of a barrel to see Charlie the Robot in the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! episode "Foul Play in Funland."
