    Great compilation here. I grew up with Alex on High Rollers and Double Dare. At one point I never thought that he'd wind up hosting Jeopardy for 35 years. And now it'll be hard to imagine anyone else at the helm. He's certainly had quite an impressive resume of game shows.

    I am not drooling here over Alex Trebek or anything..I simply express admiration for the man and what he seems to be. I never realized how incredibly handsome Alex Trebek was as a younger man...as well as witty, intelligent, articulate, refined. What a guy, what a personality!🔥😍 What a winning and fiery combination, all brewing in one person! I am left starstruck and breathless!🔥😍
    As a kid, I started watching "Jeopardy"!, and it has become one of my favorite game shows and it still is to this day! My thoughts and prayers are with Alex Trebek and his family. We're all rooting for you, Alex! You will fight and defeat that ailment! You got this!

    For those of you looking for the Jeopardy intro, you'll find it at 6:51. What drew my attention more however was the intro that follows... Classic Concentration. I always here folx from my generation taIking about how they'd watch Price is Right on those days they were home from school. I do as well... still want to spin the CRAP out of that wheel... but I also remember one summer where I watched a whole mess of Classic Concentration (AND Price is Right). I'm sure I've seen Mr. Trebek on THAT show more than on Jeopardy, where he still had the short, black fro and mustache. And I was only reminded of this recently upon his passing. (I also remember how weird it was at first to see him when he stopped having the mustache). :D Thank you for all the joy you brought us Alex :)

    So he was known as the "star" on the $128,000 Question. I remember an interview where he always saw himself as the Master of Ceremonies, and the contestants were the stars. Probably why he was almost always introduced as the "host", or some clever quip.

    To give more information, Alex Trebek's famous work at Jeopardy! began in 1983, with the syndicated version's 1st Pilot. Sadly, that episode is lost! But there are a bunch of images, and their contents looked too modern at the time. Even the studio's podiums and board resembled PCs from that era, with Trebek entering from the "Disk Drive" of the Board PC!
