7:53 "There has not been a particular female hostess hosting a successful show for a period of time...if that ever happened, then everyone would think 'oh my gosh, women hosts are in'!" Well, Meredith Viera has been hosting Millionaire since 2002 (which was airing when this interview was shot), and she has been critically (and popularly) lauded and the show has been successful. Disappointed Trebek overlooked this. Also, there has not been an influx of women hostesses; Alex is incorrect here too
No doubt if the day ever came where there are more FEMALE game show hosts than males, women wouldn't be the slightest bit interested in scaling back their presence to a mere 50%, allowing men their equal, fair share of the spotlight.
I agree! I'm from the states but notice that, in general, Canadians are more articulate, have a wonderful pacing to thier speaking, and are poilte. Heck, even the people panhandling in Vancouver's GasTown are poilte and have commend of proper English. Great to hear Alex's accent fall back into a Canadian one. I can't think of a better person to interview Alex.
I remember meeting Alex back in 1996 in Bosnia when he was there for tryouts. This was the only time I ever seen him out of a suit. He's a brilliant man. Needless to say, no one made the show in our group of US Army officers and soldiers. It really is the hardest gameshow and that's why it's most popular. The tryout consisted of a written test of 100 questions. None of us could even answer #1 as the test is much harder than the gameshow!!! Yes, you have to be better than what you'll show.
Hi; I am a 73 yr old great grandma and I have to say I love Jian. He is the best I have listened to for quite some time. Hang on to him. I listen all the time to Jian on the radio so it was really nice to see what this very young man looks like. I enjoyed Alex as well on this video. Hope you have a good holiday Jian and come back safe and sound. A not so famous Sudburian-Sylvia Harvey
Jian, I want to interview YOU! Can you get some really good guy to do it at Q, maybe make a YouTube thing out of it? If so, drop me an email. Bye.

Alex on the pantless story: "It blew them away, Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter and the other guy". I hope the other guy (Jerome Vered) doesn't see this

The Canadian taxpayer is getting fucked up the ass to pay for that studio shit and poncy announcer. Fuck the CBC! Alex Trebek is cool though.

Alex Trebek is a Canadian? I would have never guessed.
flowingthought 3 years ago
Yeah, doesn't have the beady eyes and the eccentric attitude usually associated with those types.

I guessed he is a Canadian right away because
he's extremely intelligent.

Alex Trebek is a national treasure...in the States assuredly, and I would hope Canadians regard him as such too.
