Everyone’s favorite game show

March 30, 1964
This game show is celebrating its’ 61th anniversary on this date? Pens down.

Merv Griffin’s game show Jeopardy! made its debut on television. He sold the rights for the show to Coca-Cola for $250 million in 1986. The show was hosted by Art Fleming until 1975. It resurfaced in syndication in 1984 with Alex Trebek as host.

(Imagine the contestants fighting to play Celestical Jeopardy with Alex Trebek now.)
