Dick Clark would need it when taping 10 episodes of \u003cem>The 10,000 Pyramid\u003c/em> in a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trebek similarly had a strong pedigree of television hosting, much of it in Canada, before he became host of \u003cem>Jeopardy!\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where’s the pipeline now?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Game shows were once a mainstay of daytime broadcast television, the land of the unhip, but are much less common today. The Game Show Network and Buzzr exist on cable for aficionados, but are heavy on reruns of the classics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, let’s be honest, who watches, anyway? To create interest in game shows these days, producers look for a name. That makes actors, comics or other celebrities attractive to front these shows (some of which have nevertheless been canceled) — people like Drew Carey (\u003cem>The Price Is Right\u003c/em>), Howie Mandel (\u003cem>Deal or No Deal\u003c/em>), Meredith Vieira (\u003cem>Who Wants to be a Millionaire?\u003c/em>), Wayne Brady (\u003cem>Let’s Make a Deal\u003c/em>), Steve Harvey (\u003cem>Family Feud\u003c/em>), Alec Baldwin (\u003cem>Match Game\u003c/em>), Michael Strahan (\u003cem>The $100,000 Pyramid\u003c/em>) and Mayim Bialik (\u003cem>Jeopardy!\u003c/em>).

And it’s behind the request Jamie Foxx surprised his management with in the 2010s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Years ago, I was telling my agent, I said, ‘Man, you gotta get a game show,’” Foxx told \u003cem>The Associated Press\u003c/em> in 2019. He succeeded with \u003cem>Beat Shazam\u003c/em>, on the Fox network. Foxx got a payday, and Fox got a bankable star to entice viewers to a new game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several game shows air in prime time now. Even if networks offer a big check to a star like Foxx, it’s nothing like paying for the writers, directors and actors of a scripted series (to remind you, said writers are now on strike).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13931008\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13931008\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Screen-Shot-2023-06-28-at-11.30.10-AM-800x496.png\" alt=\"A woman with glasses and long brown hair stands smiling next to an electronic board displaying the ‘Jeopardy!’ logo.

Doesn’t reflect the reality of who you are, doesn’t reflect how you work? Everything’s fine! Maybe this would do it, as far as tamping down the criticism?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was not to be.

She talked to more people about Richards as a producer, and she found old episodes from a \u003cem>The Price Is Right\u003c/em> behind-the-scenes podcast literally called \u003cem>The Randumb Show.\u003c/em> (My friends… I beg you, don’t call your work-related podcast that). In that show, Richards made a variety of remarks about women and their bodies and how they dress—he refers to his own co-host’s past modeling work being a “booth slut” and “booth ho.” This was in 2013-14, \u003cem>after \u003c/em>the lawsuits in which models claimed the environment at \u003cem>The Price Is Right\u003c/em> was harassing and discriminatory.

It’s true that you can’t vet everything, but it’s also true that if a guy wants to make a show about work called \u003cem>The Randumb Show\u003c/em>, you might want to send an intern over to transcribe a couple episodes for you, just to make sure it’s not this. Did they do it and hope it wouldn’t come out, or did they not do it at all?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13901062']And second, how does Richards continue in his producing role? However unfair he likely finds it, the story of his Extremely Loud And Incredibly Short tenure as the host of one of the calmest and most dignified syndicated shows on television is going to be that he gave himself the job and then had to bail after he got caught calling women “slut” and “ho” on a podcast that, again, was made behind the scenes of a show where \u003cem>he was managing people\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is it the intent that he would now oversee a new host selection process?

In the early 1960s, while studying philosophy at the University of Ottawa, Trebek worked as a news and sports announcer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trebek hosted programs about music, skating and horse racing, as well as a high school quiz show called \u003cem>Reach for the Top.\u003c/em> In 1973, he moved to LA to host NBC’s new game show, \u003cem>The Wizard of Odds. \u003c/em>Trebek went on to host a string of shows in the 1970s, ’80s, ’90s and beyond, including \u003cem>The $128,000 Question\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Double Dare\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Battlestars\u003c/em>, \u003cem>To Tell the Truth\u003c/em> and \u003cem>High Rollers.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Jeopardy!\u003c/em> was a hybrid trivia quiz and IQ test created in 1964 by TV host Merv Griffin and his wife, Julann. It was designed to restore credibility to the TV game show genre, which had fallen into disrepute following the cheating scandals of the 1950s. Twenty years after it began, Trebek became the host of \u003cem>Jeopardy!\u003c/em> when it was syndicated. For his first three seasons, Trebek was also the show’s producer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of the time, our contestants are not there for the money on \u003cem>Jeopardy!\u003c/em>,” \u003ca href=\"https://freshairarchive.org/segments/jeopardys-alex-trebek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he told NPR’s \u003cem>Fresh Air\u003c/em> in 1987\u003c/a>. “They are there to show off their intellectual skills.

But it was more than that: “Americans are very competitive, and people play along at home just to test themselves,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trebek knew those fans playing along at home often got all the answers. They’d say, ” ‘Gosh, I sit at home in my living room and I get everything right,’ ” Trebek said—and he acknowledged it was true. “Most people do a lot better in their living rooms than they will ever do on the program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXDyXdviYOk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March 2019, Trebek \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/07/700991546/jeopardy-host-alex-trebek-says-he-has-pancreatic-cancer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">delivered some bad news\u003c/a> directly to fans. “Just like 50,000 other people in the United States each year, this week I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer,” he \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cInGyxCY9k&feature=emb_logo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced in an online video.\u003c/a> “Normally the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I’m going to fight this. … Truth told, I \u003cem>have\u003c/em> to, because under the terms of my contract, I have to host \u003cem>Jeopardy!\u003c/em> for three more years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trebek vowed to continue working, and he did, through bouts of chemotherapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November 2019, \u003ca href=\"https://slate.com/culture/2019/11/jeopardy-alex-trebek-dhruv-gaur-we-love-you-alex-final-jeopardy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one contestant expressed\u003c/a> what many \u003cem>Jeopardy! \u003c/em>fans were feeling: For his “Final Jeopardy!” answer, Dhruv Gaur wagered $1,995 on his answer: “What is We ❤ you, Alex!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Ted Robbins edited this story.

It was designed to restore credibility to the TV game show genre, which had fallen into disrepute following the cheating scandals of the 1950s. Twenty years after it began, Trebek became the host of \u003cem>Jeopardy!\u003c/em> when it was syndicated. For his first three seasons, Trebek was also the show’s producer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most of the time, our contestants are not there for the money on \u003cem>Jeopardy!\u003c/em>,” \u003ca href=\"https://freshairarchive.org/segments/jeopardys-alex-trebek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he told NPR’s \u003cem>Fresh Air\u003c/em> in 1987\u003c/a>. “They are there to show off their intellectual skills. They are there to have their moment in the sun and be television stars for that half-hour.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2016/04/17/474394416/this-is-the-length-of-alex-trebeks-game-show-tenure-what-is-50-years\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he told NPR\u003c/a> that he liked chatting with contestants to get a sense of their personalities. “Some of them—for want of a better term—are nerds, but most of them are just bright people,” Trebek said on \u003cem>Weekend Edition\u003c/em>. “What I’m trying to do is get across to the viewers that these are ordinary folks—you’re going to like them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Jeopardy!\u003c/em> champ \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/10/722198188/episode-912-how-uncle-jamie-broke-jeopardy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James Holzhauer\u003c/a> once compared Trebek’s credibility to newsman Walter Cronkite’s. But the host also sometimes poked fun at himself and wore goofy costumes. Trebek \u003ca href=\"https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Alex_Trebek_(character)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">voiced himself\u003c/a> in the animated series \u003cem>The Simpsons\u003c/em>, and comic actor Will Ferrell \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImaYMoTi2g8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">parodied him\u003c/a> on \u003cem>Saturday Night Live.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked why \u003cem>Jeopardy!\u003c/em> survived while countless other game shows had come and gone, Trebek credited the “the gimmick” of the question-and-answer format. But it was more than that: “Americans are very competitive, and people play along at home just to test themselves,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trebek knew those fans playing along at home often got all the answers. They’d say, ” ‘Gosh, I sit at home in my living room and I get everything right,’ ” Trebek said—and he acknowledged it was true. “Most people do a lot better in their living rooms than they will ever do on the program.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/vXDyXdviYOk'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/vXDyXdviYOk'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>In March 2019, Trebek \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/07/700991546/jeopardy-host-alex-trebek-says-he-has-pancreatic-cancer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">delivered some bad news\u003c/a> directly to fans. “Just like 50,000 other people in the United States each year, this week I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer,” he \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cInGyxCY9k&feature=emb_logo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced in an online video.\u003c/a> “Normally the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I’m going to fight this. … Truth told, I \u003cem>have\u003c/em> to, because under the terms of my contract, I have to host \u003cem>Jeopardy!\u003c/em> for three more years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trebek vowed to continue working, and he did, through bouts of chemotherapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In November 2019, \u003ca href=\"https://slate.com/culture/2019/11/jeopardy-alex-trebek-dhruv-gaur-we-love-you-alex-final-jeopardy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one contestant expressed\u003c/a> what many \u003cem>Jeopardy! \u003c/em>fans were feeling: For his “Final Jeopardy!” answer, Dhruv Gaur wagered $1,995 on his answer: “What is We ❤ you, Alex!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Ted Robbins edited this story.
