Yes, it was 20 years - not 22 as stated. Author Petski would not have made the cut.
Now I'll never know if I could hit that $50,000 thresh- hold like I consistently did at home (sigh).

This is a strange one.
The show seemed like it was still very popular, and had a devoted audience just like Jeopardy, Family Feud, and Wheel of Fortune.
I even find myself watching on occasion because it is still a little entertaining.

I knew it would never last.

I think they made it less likely for someone to win the million in recent years.
I mean, I doubt getting on Who? was as challenging as Jeopardy!
Who? contestant were not all Jeopardy! player level skill.

I don’t think I ever watched the show. I certainly haven’t heard or thought about it at all, save for maybe when it was first promoted.

This show single-handedly birthed the reality-TV and game show craze of the 2000s. I think it really set the stage for the 2000s to become its own, much like Seinfeld’s 1989 debut set the tone for the 1990s.

As runs go, thats a pretty long one.
Family Feud always had that built-in reality show vibe with the competing families. Its still running, isnt it?

I would suggest Sean Connery. But Norm MacDonald is probably the best we can hope for.
...Actually, I think Mark Steyn would make a GREAT Jeopardy host. But would he take the gig?

Alex Trebek? The real face of Jeopardy is Art Fleming. Alex Trebek is the guy from High Rollers who got kissed by Ruta Lee every day. (She always kicked up her left foot as she kissed him.)

He and Gabe Kaplan must have shared the same stylist. Ruta Lee was five years old than Alex. Quite the cougar.
