Fleming ran from 1964 to three days in January 1975 (not sure about how far into 1975 his syndicated version went), then from October 1978 to two days in March 1979.  Trebek's been on since September 1984.

So the total years is whatever you want it to be.

Here, let me Google that for you.

Okay, now we're at the point where there is really not one single reason you couldn't have looked this up on Wikipedia and done a tiny bit of elementary-school math.

Daytime Fleming I: 10 years, 9 months (8 more months if you count the weekly syndie show.)
Daytime Fleming II: 5 months
Trebek: 25 years, 8 months.

Add it up.

All of that information was obtainable from the first two paragraphs. I didn't even have to go below the fold.

Counting seasons: 12 for the original NBC run, 1 season with a concurrent syndicated run (count that separately if you wish), 1 additional NBC season, and the current season of Trebek's version is 26.

I, like the posters above me, grabbed this from Wikipedia.

Except that they didn't really have "seasons" in daytime tv back in the '60's-'70.  You did 52 weeks of originals every year.

I was actually hoping this was going to be about the actual amount of show in a 30 minute episode.  These days it's clocking in at about 19 minutes, and they hit everything on the board.  The Flemming episodes must have had the more common 22 or 23 minutes worth and left many an answer unrevealed.
