‘Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time’ brings together the three greatest contestants in the game show’s history for the ultimate trivia showdown.
Especially in light of host Alex Trebek’s health woes, the “Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time” tournament is an ideal time to appreciate a TV institution.
“‘Jeopardy!’ has not only been part of America’s television life for so long, it’s been a part of my television life for a long time also,” Trebek, 79, told reporters. “We’re always trying to push the envelope and do something a little different, a little more advanced from a technical point of view or from a content point of view.
Trebek was discussing the long-awaited battle of the brains — a ratings hit so far, drawing a whopping 14. 4 million viewers — at the Television Critics Assn. press tour in Pasadena. It’s been such a success that he doesn’t know how the game show will top itself: “We were talking backstage about how we would outdo this particular ‘Greatest of All Time’ tournament. My suggestion was do ‘Greatest of All Time’ seniors tournament in 10 to 12 years, or 15 years.

Greatest of All Time” tournament airing this week on ABC.“I saw all those shows after they were ended,” he said. And he asked to his wife: “Did you notice anything about the way I handled the shows? And she said, ‘I didn’t notice anything at all.’ And I said, ‘I did. I seem a little slower in the ad-lib portions.
