Alex is likely stepping down as Jeopardy! host after its 2015-16 season. Like Bob Barker's last TPIR, he doesn't want his last show to be anything big.

He is donating several pieces of J! memorabilia (including from the Fleming era) to the Smithsonian for a Daytime TV exhibit, and jokes that he'll probably donate his corpse when the time comes. :lol:

Wonder if anyone still has one?

Chris Lemon does have a set of old-school High Rollers dice, though.
	The Wheel of Fortune History Wiki, created in 2011, is a veritable cornucopia of the show's ups, downs, and all-arounds from its conception in 1973 to the present day, with info and pictures you won't find anywhere else. Did You Know? - Over 240 BAV members have been winners on Wheel, taking a total of over $8,000,000 out the door. Josh Woo has the stats here.

I am almost certain Bob's last show was a big one (I not only recorded the show on tape, I also have the DVD set)...it had a very expensive car for Lucky $even, and not only that, the Showcase winner managed to snag $100K+ in goodies.

"Solve this puzzle correctly and you'll win good old American cash, and that adds up to $25,000! Good luck." - when someone chooses to play for the $25K in the Bonus Round ('87-'89)

"One for the money, two for the show, and $25,000 to go! Congratulations!"- after someone wins $25K in the Bonus Round
