TV’s ‘Jeopardy’ Celebrates an Anniversary Today

This Friday will mark the 54th anniversary of the TV game show “Jeopardy”. I watch it religiously in hopes of making me a little smarter each day. It doesn’t always work out that way though. Some shows I can answer a few correctly and others can make you feel pretty inept.

I have even played the online Jeopardy contest and made it to the second round of play in the Midwest Division a few years ago. I was feeling pretty good about myself and then I watched the next day’s show and bombed out.  Here are a couple of questions regarding the show.  Let’s see how well you do.

Question: How many years has Alex Trebek hosted Jeopardy?
Answer: 34
Question: Alex Trebek replaced this former KMOX Radio host as the host of the show?
Answer: Art Flemming

I didn't know the answer to question number one but actually knew the answer to question number two. Remember, if you got the answer right you had to answer it in the form of a question, so I guest I got them both wrong. Even when you are right, you’re wrong!

Happy birthday to a great TV show. Jeopardy can be seen locally at noon on KHQA-TV.
