Since Pat is within striking distance of Bob Barker's record for continuous hosting of the same game show, will 82 or 83 be used as the benchmark? Has Pat already surpassed Barker in terms of # of shows?

I think Alex is closer...hasn't current J! done 5000+ episodes already? I think Wheel's only done 4800+.

But Pat did two shows a day from September 1983, the nighttime show's premiere, to January 1989, when he left the daytime show.
Let me see if I can figure this out:
Trebek on J! since 1984: 195 shows/yr * 23 yrs = 4485, + 13 for Super Jeopardy! in summer 1990 = 4498.[/quote]
195 a year only for the first two years (?). It's been 230 a year since then. They still only do six weeks of reruns a year (generally repeats of the sweeps tourneys).
