Everything Old is New Again - Game Shows - Part 4b

Tweet

2000 - 2025 (continued) When Alex Trebek passed away, a couple of people were "tried out" for his replacement on Jeopardy. Ken Jennings became the new host. He has been on several other game shows and won over $2 million on Jeopardy. Brad Rutter won over $4 million. More game shows and some of their famous hosts: 25 Words or Less - Meredith Vieira, Family Feud - Steve Harvey, Flip Side - Jaleel White, People Puzzler - Leah Remini, America's Got Talent, American Idol, The Perfect Line - Deborah Norville, The Apprentice - Donald Trump, 1% Club - Joel McHale, Celebrity Weakest Link - Jane Lynch, $100,000 Pyramid - Michael Strahan and The Chase. The list goes on and on. The salaries must be very lucrative for movie, TV, news and sports stars to get involved in these shows. Some hosts have made a career out of game shows such as Alex Trebek, Monty Hall, Bob Barker, Pat Sajak and Vanna White. Someone asked me about Who Wants to be a Millionaire. This show premiered in 1999 and was in Part 3. It was originally hosted by Regis Philbin and recently by Jimmy KImmel. Game shows have come and gone over the last 8 decades; but right now they are hot, hot, hot and continuing to expand. Photo Credit: Pixabay
