Not that long ago, I found a clip of Alex Trebek doing a bi-lingual quiz show. I can't believe what I just found. You might not, either. Trebek shares another career mark with Dick Clark, Wink Martindale, and Lloyd Thaxton.

The inspiration for Rockin' Mel Slirrup?? Maybe he could have combined a couple of his early shows. A high schooler quiz on pop music - "Reach For The Hop"? (Never mind...)
and there's this in the article: "For one season in 1969, Trebek also hosted CBC's Strategy, a U.S.-style game show in which competing couples were the life-sized pawns on a floor-sized game board."
Something else to look up. Ahh...there we go. http://www.tvarchive...rategy/details/

Strategy seems to be an amalgam of Mad Dash and Parcheesi.

By the way - just inserting the name Enright in the Canadian tv archives gives us at least a tiny bit more information on some of his post-scandal projects. Looks like elements of Joker, Make A Face and Double Exposure made their way into his stuff, apart from All About Faces.
