Jeopardy! Host Alex Trebek
Merrill Heatter Productions / Everett
Migrant
During the '70s and early '80s, Trebek's other hosting gigs included Double Dare (1976-77), The $128,000 Question (1977-78) and Battlestars (1981-83), above. A framed memento from these difficult years is a bounced check for $49,000, the result of one of Trebek's failed shows.
