What did Alex Trebek do before "Jeopardy!"?


Search: alex trebek

Why: I was just watching a college championship show. Man, what a bunch of nerds.

Answer: He hosted other game shows! He was born 1940:
  • 1966 - high school quiz show "Reach for the Top"
  • 1970 - Canadian show "Jackpot!"
  • 1973 - NBC Show "The Wizard of Odds"
  • 1974-76, 78-80 - "High Rollers"
  • 1976 - CBS game show "Double Dare" (not the Nickelodeon one)
  • 1977 - "The $128,000 Question"
  • 1981 - "Battlestars" and syndicated Canadian game show "Pitfall"
  • 1984 - revival of "Jeopardy!" (which had originally run 1964–75 and 1978-79)
  • 1987 - NBC show "Classic Concentration"
  • 1991 - "To Tell the Truth"
From Feb. to May 1991, Trebek made broadcast history by becoming the first person to host three American game shows at the same time.

The More You Know: This isn't the best one, but I couldn't find a good video of the one with "anal bum cover." Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Jimmy Fallon, Tom Cruise, Will Ferrell... what a bunch of polarizing figures.
