Marshall was a broadway actor, singer and comedian and expected the game show to be an easy, but likely short-lived job. It lasted 15 years. Hosting a show with that many celebrities takes someone who knows when to allow the personalities to run wild and when to rein them in, and Marshall was a master at both.

Trebek, who shocked fans back in March with news he had been diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer, turns 79 in July. He will forever be identified with the syndicated Jeopardy , which he has hosted for 35 years.
Trebek is one of those fortunate hosts to find a perfect match in terms of the show he hosts. He even hosted a game show version of the popular board game Trivial Pursuit. Martindale maintains an active following on Facebook where he posts clips, outtakes and episodes of classic game shows.
