Alex Trebek – 80

AlexTrebek graduated from the University of Ottawa and also has a degree in Philosophy. He later joined the Canadian Broadcasting Company, in 1961. He also helped organise national news and did a variety of special events for radio and television divisions, and received high praise as a broadcaster. Later, in 1966, he became a game show host in Canada on Reach for the Top, and stayed there for the first 7 years until he shifted to the United States to host his very first game show, The Wizard of Odds, for NBC.

Prior to being selected as the host of Jeopardy, for syndication, he came back to NBC and hosted the revamped version of Classic Concentration, which was also his second hit in his almost 30 year career. On this show, he received 4 Emmy nominations, but didn’t win. It was cancelled later, when the network stopped making game show for daytime TV.

In 2002, Jeopardy! celebrated a milestone, the show celebrated its 4000th episode and at the same time, it received another Daytime Emmy for “Outstanding Game Show/Audience Participation”, making it its 21st Emmy. Like Bob Barker, Alex Trebek had broken the world record as host of TV’s no.1 quiz show in the country, and he won 2 Emmy Awards and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and, this year, was described as one of the Top 10 Canadians on U.S. Television. Today, as Alex began his 19th year as the host, he remains as popular as any other quizmaster.
