In 1973, Weʹre off to see the wizard, the wonderful Wizard of…Odds??? Yes, thatʹs the name of the newest TV game show on NBC-TV “The Wizard of Odds” a game show hosted by Alex Trebek. Alex would later become even more famous hosting a syndicated version of Jeopardy in the mid 1980s, thanks to “Weird Al” Yankovicʹs video revival of the original version of Jeopardy parodying a song by the same name which had nothing to do with the game show whatsoever. Anyway, what are the odds of that happening again?
