The Resume

    (July 22, 1940-November 8, 2020)
    Birth name is George Alexander Trebek
    Host of Jeopardy (1984- )
    Hosted 'To Tell the Truth,' 'Classic Concentration,' 'Battle Stars,' 'Pitfall,' 'The $128,000 Question,' 'Double Dare,' 'High Rollers,' 'Wizard of Odds,' 'Reach the Top,' 'Strategy' and 'Super Jeopardy'
    Played himself in 'White Men Can't Jump,' 'Charlie's Angels,' 'Finding Forrester,' 'Short Cuts' and Ellen's Energy Adventure'
    Owns Creston Farms, a 700 acre thoroughbred farm

Why he might be annoying:

    He puts on an obnoxious attitude during Jeopardy, like he really knows the answers to the clues.
    He stars in a life insurance commercial with Ed McMahon.
    He said that 'Quiz Shows' are more fun than 'Game Shows.'
    He attacked 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire' for asking too many easy questions and rewarding the contestant with too much money.
    He snapped his Achilles tendon while chasing after a female burglar who had stolen cash and a bracelet from his hotel room (July 27, 2011).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He has a deep authoritative voice.
    He studies the pronunciation of the clues, so he can say them accurately on 'Jeopardy.'
    He became a United States citizen (1998).
    He graduated the University of Ottawa.
    He refuses to mingle with the contestants, since he knows the correct responses.
    He tapes forty six weeks of original shows a year, more than any other prime time quiz show.
    He says most of his negative mail is from people who say he mispronounced something, and usually they are wrong.
    If the mail is rude, he responds rudely, if the mail is polite he answers kindly (just like 'Am I Annoying or Not!').
