Comments by "" (@johnwattdotca) on "'So Long': Alex Trebek Appears As Jeopardy! Host For The Last Time | NBC News" video.

Back in the early sixties, when Jeopardy began, my father wrote to the station, seeing the address as credits at the end of the show, saying contestants were given a board game version of Jeopardy as a parting gift, wondering if he could buy one for our family. He got one and when we played it during picnics along the Niagara River other people would come over to watch and get into it. We made up our own cards to make it interesting as Scottish Canadians and kept it going for years. Only once, in my entire life, watching it on TV, with Alex Trebek, did I get every question correct for the first half of the show. Am I ever glad I had witnesses.

@vtheg4842 It was good me for me, just like it was good for everyone, when TV shows had an address at the end so you could write a letter and ask about something. And you got one back. That was before 1-800 numbers.

@vtheg4842 Considering the hate replies and profanity I get, as a Canadian, this comment was good for me.

There would be many more jobs for musicians if music from dead people didn't keep playing.
