Art Fleming hosted the original version of the TV quiz show
Jeopardy! from 1964 to 1975. The show's popularity and distinctive format -- contestants were given an answer and had to ask the right question -- made Fleming one of TV's best-known quiz hosts. He hosted a brief revival of
Jeopardy! during the 1978-79 season. In 1984
Jeopardy! was resurrected in a syndicated version, with
Alex Trebek replacing Fleming as host. Fleming remained a fan favorite, even making an appearance in the
'Weird Al' Yankovic music video parody "I Lost on Jeopardy."
