Alex Trebek
In between stints as host of ''High Rollers,'' Trebek hosted the short-lived CBS game show '' Double Dare'' (not to be confused with the 1986 Nickelodeon game show of the same name). '' Double Dare'' turned out to be his only game show with the CBS network (he returned there in 1994 to host the Pillsbury Bake-Off until 1998), and the first show he hosted for what was then Mark Goodson-Bill Todman Productions, as well as the second season of the syndicated series '' The $128,000 Question,'' which was recorded in Toronto.
In 1987, while still hosting ''Jeopardy!'', Trebek returned to daytime television as host of NBC's ''Classic Concentration'', his second show for Mark Goodson.

The company proved itself to be masterful at games, but was not as successful when it tried other fields of television programs, including the anthology dramas '' The Web'' and '' The Richard Boone Show'', a talk-variety show for famed insult comic Don Rickles – and what was possibly the company's biggest failure, a sitcom titled ''One Happy Family''.
Don Rickles
Upon hearing of Rickles' death, a number of television hosts paid tribute to his comedic talents, with Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and David Letterman among them. Barbra Streisand, Tom Hanks, Billy Crystal, Mel Brooks, Tim Allen, John Lasseter, Whoopi Goldberg, Ron Howard, Chris Rock, Patton Oswalt, Jim Carrey, and Ricky Gervais all paid their respects on Twitter.
