WHAT IS JEOPARDY?: ALEX TREBEK AND AMERICA’S MOST POPULAR QUIZ SHOW
ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET
SPECIAL PREMIERE: Next week, ABC presents a prime-time Jeopardy super-match, pitting the show’s biggest champions against one another. As an appetizer, ABC tonight serves up a salute to Jeopardy! and the show’s long-standing host, Alex Trebek. He deserves all the attention and accolades he’s bound to get here, but I hope this historical nod is vast enough to include mention of original host Art Fleming, who presided when the show launched in 1964 – as well as its original announcer, Don Pardo, who worked here long before becoming the announcer for another long-running TV show, Saturday Night Live.
