Alex Trebek broke a world record on an episode of Jeopardy! which aired on Friday. The 73-year-old was awarded with a certificate for Most Game Show Episodes Hosted by the Same Presenter in honour of his achievement. 

Alex Trebek is a Guinness World Record breaker!

Trebek has been on the popular game show since 1984, hosting 6795 episodes to date. The show is currently in its 30th season and its 31st will begin in September. Trebek will of course be continuing as host, simply increasing his record. Incredibly for such a long running show, Trebek is Jeopardy!'s second host. The first was Art Flemming who hosted from 1964-1979 before the show was cancelled. Five years later it was Trebek who stepped in when the show was re-launched.

Do you believe in climate change? Do you want to help the conservation of the only planet we know to be able to sustain human life? Do you cycle to work and recycle glass and cardboard with a view to being a more sensible resident of earth? Well you’re an unpatriotic racist.

Just to be clear, those aren’t our views, but the views of Pat Sajak – the host of “Wheel of Fortune”. “I now believe global warming alarmists are unpatriotic racists knowingly misleading for their own ends.

Wheel of Fortune has featured many impressive contestants over the year and plenty of amazingly lucky guesses, but last night’s winner – Emil de Leon – made even host Pat Sajak refer to his answer as “the most amazing solve in my 30+ years on the show.” With just two letters originally on the board, de Leon managed to work out the phrase “new baby buggy”.

It was a combination of luck, logic and loads of Wheel of Fortune experience. "The first word was easy as there is pretty much nothing that can go there except 'new'. Then I just kept on working with the second word - I used a used letter board, the first letter there was B, so I worked off that.
