You were truly among the greats, Alex Trebek, and a real inspiration, you put up a great fight. May you rest in peace. I grew up watching you on Jeopardy and Classic Concentration, and I'm glad to have watched you. T_T
It's just a honor to know that we have Alex Trebek in our lives and he may God rest his soul and I always remember him for the rest of my life as a fan of his forever and ever since I started watching him on television as a long time fan of his and I wanted to say goodbye to him for last time that's until next month on Christmas Day (December 25th 2020)
@@Digifangsn where you found out the last episode of Jeopardy with the late Alex Trebek and I thought they will air the last episode on Christmas day 2020
Thanks so much for posting this! I had no idea that he had hosted To Tell the Truth or so many game shows. I was also astonished at how curly his hair used to be. He will be missed greatly. IMO, he was one of the best game show hosts.
He handles the mess-up around 1:50:00 like such a pro! Truly a consummate host. I grew up watching Jeopardy every day since the early 90s, and I’ve never seen any of these because they were before my time. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together, and RIP to a true legend in the game.
When we lived in Arizona when we were young, we watched Alex Trebek and the game shows he hosted The Wizard of Odds, High Rollers. Double Dare, The $128,000 Question in its 2nd season from Toronto, Ontario, Pitfall from Vancouver, British Columbia, Battlestars, Jeopardy! and its Jeopardy! spin-off Super Jeopardy!, and To Tell the Truth plus the Decisions, Decisions, Second Guess, Lucky Numbers and Malcolm Pilots which were not sold. And he made his own appearances on The Hollywood Squares, The Magnificent Marble Machine, To Say the Least, Celebrity Bowling, Card Sharks, Wheel of Fortune, and as a consultant on the Jeopardy! spin-off game show Jep! and its other Jeopardy! spin-off game show Sports Jeopardy! with host Dan Patrick, and the National Geographic Bee. And he was the host on the CBC's Music Hop and Strategy for six months in 1969, and Reach for the Top, a Canadian game show in Toronto for several years. RIP Alex Trebek 1940-2020.
This is absolutely wonderful!!! Thank you so much for compiling this. I have been watching Jeopardy for as long as I can remember and witnessing his decline was truly heartbreaking.
This Alex Trebek moment at 1:50:00 clearly indicates why daytime TV at the time was a great place to be for joy and positive entertainment. From "The Wizard of Odds" to "Jeopardy!", Mr. Trebek made it so. RIP to an eminently good host.
Considering the fact I was born in 1982, I remember him hosting Concentration and of course Jeopardy! I didn't know he hosted To Tell The Truth! I never even heard of the other game shows!
Me: Alex, I'll take "Jeopardy! history for $1,000" Alex (reading from his place in Heaven): This famous Jeopardy! host gave almost 10,000 clues until he passed away this year Me (buzzing in): Who were you, Alex Trebek? Alex (again, from Heaven): That's correct!
The game shows of Alex Trebek: The Wizard of Odds (1973-74) High Rollers (1974-76,1978-80) Double Dare (1976-77) (Not to be confused with the popular Nickelodeon children's game of the 1990s) The $128,000 Question (1977-78) Pitfall (1981-82) Battlestars (also The New Battlestars) (1981-83) Jeopardy! (1984-2020) Classic Concentration (1989-93) To Tell the Truth (1990-91)
The edition of High Rollers here is from July 4, 1975 (I know that because someone else previously posted that show on TH-cam). One of the contestants on this show (the champion at the start) was Ray Wersching, at the time with the San Diego Chargers where he was the placekicker. He would become the kicker for the San Francisco 49ers two years later in 1977 and would be their kicker for the 49ers first two Super Bowl teams that won Super Bowl XVI in January 1982 (end of 1981 season) and Super Bowl XIX in January 1985 (end of 1984 season).
1:28:11 "The last time we'll be hearing that 'Sound' for quite a while..." Unfortunately Alex, it later found its way to Chuck Woolery's Scrabble whenever Contestants get all three Stoppers. Which fit that Set very well, I might say. But you were always the best at what you do. RIP Alex
It may have been a Heatter/Quigley-NBC thing when Alex appeared on HS, Wink Martindale was also a panelist one time. Just remember, most original HS episodes have been wiped out.
Which year's Lost & Found marathon was the commercial from during the Double Dare episode & what show was Peter Tomarken hosting during the first few seconds of said commercial?
Yes, the late 70s/early 80s one with Jim Perry. I saw one where Alex played Perry's Card Sharks and wonder if he made a comment off-camera about the theme being familiar, LOL.
Same answer as above, the original run featured Ruta (Elaine Stewart in the syndicated night version). The contestants started rolling in the brief revival in 78 and then the 80s version with Winston
They did not instigate the doubles generating markers in the main game til the show was brought back the second time in the later 70s and the 80s version with Winston
WOW. What a riveting contention. From the bottom of all the millions of people who knew this already, thank you for pointing out the obvious once again.
You missed The $128,000 Question from late 1977. It was syndicated and there are a couple of episodes available on TH-cam and they were broadcasted on KYW TV3 Philadelphia. The original commercials exists on them too.

I'd forgotten some of these old game shows. Alex really did entertain us for a long time. Nice to be able to enjoy these old reruns. Thank you!
We'll always miss you, Alex. Thank God for these great videos. RIP, Great One.
Rest in Peace, Alex. You were like a part of my family for 37 years. You'll never be forgotten.❤❤

“High Rollers” is my first memory of seeing Mr Trebek. I’m so sorry to your family, but happy that you aren’t in pain anymore. RIP Sir
He was a very handsome man. Especially in his later years. Rest in peace, Alex.

what a wonderful tribute 😇👏🎉💚
I cant believe High Rollers had a famous actress like Ruta Lee as a co-host.
I REALLY MISS ALEX TREBEK. AS IT NOW HE GONE FOR GOOD! (sobering & CRYING)!
The hair and handle--bar mustache!!
Thank you.
SF 49er kicker{1970's-1980's Super Bowl 16 in Detroit Jan 1981} on the show High Rollers
Thanks
I wonder how many suits he ever owned. Millions of dollars no doubt. Looking always like the gentlemen he is and always will be.
1:28:11 "The last time we'll be hearing that 'Sound' for quite a while..."
Unfortunately Alex, it later found its way to Chuck Woolery's Scrabble whenever Contestants get all three Stoppers. Which fit that Set very well, I might say.
But you were always the best at what you do. RIP Alex
Ray Wersching on High Rollers? He was the San Francisco 49ers placekicker!
Ray Wersching was then playing for the San Diego Chargers in this episode. He did go onto a greater NFL career with the Forty-Niners.
The funny thing is the the 1st show was one that Alex actually forgot that he hosted as revealed in the GOAT episodes.
The question is : He was the best game show host to ever do the job and he will be missed by millions and never be replaced..?
I wish that someone would dig up a Hollywood Squares episode where he was a panelist (1975).
I didn't know he was a panelist on the original Hollywood Squares
It may have been a Heatter/Quigley-NBC thing when Alex appeared on HS, Wink Martindale was also a panelist one time. Just remember, most original HS episodes have been wiped out.
Which year's Lost & Found marathon was the commercial from during the Double Dare episode & what show was Peter Tomarken hosting during the first few seconds of said commercial?
2015
The show in question was TKO
RIP Mr Alex Trebek 🙏🙏
My father had that same high roller afro and mustache.
Wonderful tribute! There was a memorable contestant on Double Dare...a man from NY...Norman ___?
He was such a looker i his youth and he had a level of spunk and attitude he couldnt really have on jeporday modernly.
Where the hell was Gilbert Gottfried for the final episode of The New Battlestars? Felt like the You Fool! episode of Hollywood Squares.
I liked 'Classic C' when they revealed 2 pieces, at the start of each puzzle.
Rip
Nice! Do you have Any footage of "Neighbours" or any of Alex's work on Canadian shows, before he came to US/Hollywood?
No
1:50:10 Alex gives the contestant a truck. He! Gave the truck
I’m confused, was this video made before his passing or after his passing ?
Well anyways. May he “Rest In Peace” 🙏🙏🙏🙏. (1940-2020)
on the day he died just hours after i found out
He didn't even get to say goodbye
He was great
I remember watching Double Dare as a kid. I thought it was a cool show. It's a shame they didn't give it a reboot.
I think they did on Nick.
the nick version is a different game show
The kid's version is more like Beat the Clock.
Sony needs to get over themselves, lbvs.
The double dare theme...where else jave i heard that? Card sharks or something?
Yes, the late 70s/early 80s one with Jim Perry. I saw one where Alex played Perry's Card Sharks and wonder if he made a comment off-camera about the theme being familiar, LOL.
Why are the contestants not rolling the dice on high rollers?
Same answer as above, the original run featured Ruta (Elaine Stewart in the syndicated night version). The contestants started rolling in the brief revival in 78 and then the 80s version with Winston
Rest in Peace Alex
We love you Alex
Was Alex channeling Buckwheat with the hair here?
Was there an edit in Classic Concentration?
more like a glitch
Why did he not get an insurance marketing when she rolled double threes?
They did not instigate the doubles generating markers in the main game til the show was brought back the second time in the later 70s and the 80s version with Winston
Alex's scurvy answer was wrong. The contestant was right.
Good to see on 'Battlestars', they didn't have contestants of opposite sexes for each game. RIP, Alex.
Alex was most famous for “Jeopardy!”
WOW. What a riveting contention.
From the bottom of all the millions of people who knew this already,
thank you for pointing out the obvious once again.
His Jeopardy career was his longest, but those of us who were around longer may think his some of his earlier work may have been his "famous" work
You missed The $128,000 Question from late 1977. It was syndicated and there are a couple of episodes available on TH-cam and they were broadcasted on KYW TV3 Philadelphia. The original commercials exists on them too.
Unfortunately i don't have any episodes of $128,000 Question

eh?
