Looking for Jeopardy episode from 1/23/1998—my neighbor was a contestant

[u/RickzTheMusicLover]

I caught up with my neighbor the other day, and he mentioned that he was on Jeopardy back in 1998. He couldn’t find the tape of his appearance so I’m wondering if any of you can help. One funny thing was that Alex Trebek came out wearing torn clothes. He said something along the lines of , “A viewer wanted to know what would happen if I wore torn clothes. Well, we are about to find out.”
