So Merv Griffin died.
Full Story.
This thread is in his memory, and should probably be considered a general game show thread as well.
Merv Griffin, the big band-era crooner turned impresario who parlayed his "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune" game shows into a multimillion-dollar empire, died Sunday. He was 82.
Griffin died of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his family that was released by Marcia Newberger, spokeswoman for The Griffin Group/Merv Griffin Entertainment.
From his beginning as a $100-a-week San Francisco radio singer, Griffin moved on as vocalist for Freddy Martin's band, sometime film actor in films and TV game and talk show host, and made Forbes' list of richest Americans several times.
His "The Merv Griffin Show" lasted more than 20 years, and Griffin's said his capacity to listen contributed to his success.
"If the host is sitting there thinking about his next joke, he isn't listening," Griffin reasoned in a recent interview.
But his biggest break financially came from inventing and producing "Jeopardy" in the 1960s and "Wheel of Fortune" in the 1970s. After they had become the hottest game shows on television, Griffin sold the rights to Coca Cola's Columbia Pictures Television Unit for $250 million in 1986, retaining a share of the profits.

it turns out alex trebek is a total jerk in person
he smiled while the cameras were on, but while he wasn't being filmed, he was all grumpy, yelling at the crew members for his coffee, etc
No extra parts, no bullshit dramatic pauses, no twists
Just 25 minutes of the hardest trivia questions on television

where the questions are so difficult and frustrating that maybe 1 or 2 are answered per show
and a man bleeds on you if you get the wrong answer
Like a big thing with all the questions that episode, and if you hovered over there was the answer.
Or...it had all the answers and you would hover over for the question...
or, what the fuck ever.
Anyway, it had how much each contestant had at the first commercial break, at the end of the first round, and at the end of the second round, and it had what their suggested wagers should be.
It was kind of nuts.
