I did not get a chance to watch the show very often, but I enjoyed it as a true test of Knowledge

I remember one time when I was in my youth when jeopardy was on and the category of French Museums was up. I got every single question right all from guessing, because I remember we had a little highlight page in our French textbook about the museums. It felt like a once in a lifetime experience.

Merv Griffin invented What's The Question? off of his wife's idea, in lieu of 50s game show scandals. Alex's stern demeanor and porn stauche landed the gig in the early. Merv used to peruse San Francisco for "fun" back in jazz, beatnik days of San Francisco. Decades later, Alex and wife ran into that bizarre sex hotel thing at the SF Marriott, I believe.

Alex put the beat down (more of a tackle) on the intruder. Godspeed.

The losing contestant whom replied "We love you, Alex" in final J! when we knew time was short. Epic.
