In Alex Trebek's long history of game shows, some of his most significant experience on the quiz side prior to Jeopardy! was his one year hosting the late 1970s revival of the $64,000 Question.
Here's a recently-discovered pitchfilm with various highlights (predominantly from Alex's season), with memorable contestants, big winners and the playoff where Barbara-Anne Eddy wins the top prize.

I had never viewed this video before.. and it has been more than 40 years since I was part of it... but it brought back a at least 64000 great memories. Thank you for sharing it.

what was your subject?

There were contestants on subjects like Beethoven or DiVinci or World History and all I could claim any real knowledge of was old TV shows (and 4 decades ago there were not a whole lot of them).

@@donbenn4878 Wow! I watched your episodes that are on KZfaq and some of those answers on the ones with the supporting characters, I can’t see how you came up with those. Also, if I may ask do either Buckskin, The Verdict is Yours, or even Navy Log still haunt you to this day? And I couldn’t believe in that question either those three shows mentioned you pulled The Peoples Choice out of nowhere. I may have to check some of those shows from your questions out. Hope you’re doing well, sir.

Thanks so much for posting this montage of great clips from the great 1970's revival of the original "$64,000 Question". Enjoyed it when I was a little kid. And I enjoy Alex Trebek's energetic acknowledgment of the correct answer at 11:17 as much as I do the young woman's unbridled burst of excitement at 10:04 for her husband:) RIP Alex Trebek and Mike Darow.

Clips from the show's second season (1977-78 in Toronto), with Alex Trebek and announcer Sandy Hoyt. Its first season in New York (1976-77) was hosted by Mike Darow, along with announcer Alan Kalter. The pitch film narrator was the legendary Jackson Beck.

Rerun rights to The $128,000 Question and its entire 2 season run now belong to CBS Television Distribution, and we knew there was not a 3rd season when it was not as popular as its predecessor, and after 2 seasons the series ended due to network winnings cap limits. And thanks for posting this highlights reel on The $128,000 Question.

And the show didn't get a third season anyway. Barbara Anne Eddy won five games of Jeopardy! a decade later, and Alex remembered her and her good luck charm, and in 1989, she won a Scrabble T-Shirt as her clue was read in the show open.
