:(, indeed. I've seen hundreds, perhaps thousands, of episodes of Jeopardy and it is largely Alex that made the show what it is. I'm happy to say I had the chance to see among his last shows when our own BBB was a contestant. It has long been a dream of my own to play on the show, but, to be honest, I'm just not smart enough.

Here is a link to a show early in Alex's career. He is the host of this Canadian show called 'Music Hop' and is the fellow in the dark clothes that saunters up to the mike and even sings a little. Hope I haven't ruined your admiration of him. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=music+hop+winnipeg&docid=608001356163581201&mid=3E52408F93695080B4D83E52408F93695080B4D8&view=detail&FORM=VIRE "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you."

Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | I just learned that James Randi died on October 20. He was a giant among skeptics, like me. He is most famous for offering $1,000,000 to anyone who could prove any kind of paranormal ability. The prize remains unclaimed. RIP. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

RIP, one of my heroes. I honestly did not even hear about this, it must have been buried under all of the news last month. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | I'm surprized Randi made it this far. Saw him a couple years ago in an interview and he was super thin and shrivelled up. He looked like an old Hobbit. Uri Geller is shedding no tears today. What a fraudulent piece of work he was.. Every magician in the world knew how he was doing his 'trick', Randi was the only one with guts enough to break the magicians code and expose Geller. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Can you prove to me he died? I'm skeptical.... |
