This is the Alec Trebek version of the show. The show itself is timeless & addictive. Once you watch it, it always interests you.
That is because the answers & questions can deal with any subject. The show can ask the most difficult things or it can ask easy subjects but still interest the viewer. The contestants can be almost any age. There is very little that can't be done with Jeopardy.
This is one of the most parodied of game show ever broadcast. Some of the earliest Saturday Night Live (SNL) programs did take offs based upon this. Most interesting about those is that the announcer for the original version of Jeopardy & SNL were Don Pardo. This gave the comedy sketches a different feeling for those who were long time fans.
Because of the spoofs of the show, nearly every big time sketch person in comedy from Chevy Chase on has done a take off of this show. That is the really big dedication to Merv Griffen that this show has. Merv created something so successful that even comic sketch take offs from it pose no threat to the real thing.
To the addict, it is the game & the contestants that you tune in for. Almost anyone with a decent voice & some intelligence could host it. I wouldn't be surprised Alex Trebek might keep going for a long time as host. Between this & the paid infomercials he is doing, this has much more class & pays better.
