Jeopardy won't be the same without him.

That's what they said about Art Flemming.

Just bring in Bill Maher.

And Bob Barker. Maybe they’ll get someone that isn’t always applauding liberal politicians and their flaky causes.

I recall reading somewhere that most of the videotapes of the Art Fleming hosted episodes of Jeopardy were destroyed in the great purge of videotapes and films circa 1975 upon the orders of NBC’s program director at the time (who should have been arrested of course, lol).

They did, and the show vanished for years until Trebek made it a part of homes for 40 years. He is pretty much the only face for the show for anyone under 70.

The Price is Right was very lucky with Drew. Not too many people see the show as Bob Barker’s these days. Family Feud is another that had to go through years of mediocrity until Steve Harvey made it fun again.

Wheel of Fortune is near that point where they will have to do something when Sajak retires.

But it can be done. Lots of classic game shows have had comebacks the past 2 years, but again, all of those shows were off the air for years or decades.

That's what they said about Art Flemming.

And they were right.

Alex Trebek is also known as a fan of vintage rail trains. Here's a few pics of him at The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad back home, which runs between Cumberland, MD, and Frostburg, MD. It was filmed in May, 2011, for an episode of Jeopardy, and the theme of the episode later that year offered clues to Cumberland. He was on the Western Maryland Scenic's Baldwin Consolidation 2-8-0, Engine 734, built in 1916; what we call 'Mountain Thunder'. When she doesn't haul scenic rides or host holiday murder mystery excursions, she earns her keep hauling freight and coal. MAGA!:
