I'm probably late on the uptake here ... I'm sure y'all have discussed this already. But on the outside chance that you haven't ...
I rented a 2003 documentary about the violent Weather Underground faction of the 1960s radical group, Students for a Democratic Society.
One of their revolutionary leaders, Brian Flanagan, was briefly shown competing on Jeopardy! He ended up winning $23,000.
Anybody catch his appearance? When was it?
The mainly-blue set featured the big, flashing lit-up letters. This should narrow-down the time frame.

If the letters are in red, it's the 1984-85 season set. If the letters are in white, it's the 1985-91 season set.

Unless, if I'm not mistaken, they still had those lights in 1994.....

Which they did. The checkerboard set (1991-96) letters still flashed, in the opposite color of the backdrop, in other words, they flashed red for round 1, and flashed blue for Double J!

And in September 1986, the white letters changed to gold and the blue changes to red first started in 1985.

How many days was he on?

Since we're talking pre 2002 double dollars here, my guess would be a 4-day reign of $23,000. Could've been the 5-day maximum but not sure on that.

Hey Craiggers....
The question was : How many days was he on?
Not : How many days do you think he was on?
If you don't know the answer, DON'T TYPE ANYTHING. What part of that don't you understand?

$23,000 in 4 days. Either he had some bad luck in Final Jeopardy, or he didn't have any wagering strategy at all. And in 4 days, I think he would've developed the latter.
In other words, no match (MG7x buzz).
