I'm watching a "Classic Concentration" marathon on Buzzr right now. Boy he was good on this show. BTW, with the deaths of Trebek and Tom Kennedy, there are only three still-living hosts with shows on the current Buzzr schedule: Bob Eubanks (Card Sharks), David Ruprecht (Supermarket Sweep), and

One of the best clips circulating of Alex right now are outtakes of recordings he made for the Jeopardy phone game. I’m sure many have seen these before, but if you haven’t, it’s a classic. https://twitter.com/orangebangkevin/status/1326632619014942721?s=21 On Thu, Nov 12, 2020 at 6:00 AM Paul M

Growing up as a game show nerd, there were a few things I wanted to do when I got to be old enough - I suppose this would have been called a bucket list if that term existed in the 80s. I wanted to spin the big wheel on TPIR. I wanted to get zinged by Gene Rayburn & the classic "Match Game" pane

Coming by to lay my respects. Clearly the GOAT. Agree with Joe. As a kid one if my summer rituals was to walk the few blocks to my grandpa’s house and watch Fleming’s Jeopardy with him. I knew and liked Trebek when he took over, but never in a million years thought he could fill Fleming’s shoes. At
