I added digital cable at home 4 years ago, well after GSN had stopped running Rock & Roll Jeopardy!.<br /><br />I should note that Probst isn't the only FX alumnus still active, what with Tom Bergeron, who hosted the last incarnation of Hollywood Squares, now at ABC (Dancing With The Stars, America's Funniest Home Videos).hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-10814092858581339792011-07-15T14:29:53.655-04:002011-07-15T14:29:53.655-04:00Actually this show did air on GSN for a brief peri...Actually this show did air on GSN for a brief period in 1999 and again in 2000.<br /><br />We got GSN(then Game Show Network) on Digital Cable around that time and I watched a couple episodes(back when GSN was really good, but that's another thing altogether).<br /><br />Rock and Roll Jeopardy was a pretty creative show and a great spinoff of the classic Jeopardy; unfortuntely because of the reasons you mentioned, it didn't last very long.<br /><br />Speaking of Jeopardy, I had a sports Jeopardy SNES game back in the mid 90s and I always thought that would have made a great spinoff of Alex Trebek's version as well.<br /><br />Also, one note about Jeff Probst: before Rock and Roll Jeopardy, he actually worked in my neck of the woods(Seattle-Tacoma, WA); he hosted a travel show for the local CBS affiliate KIRO TV 7 for a period in the mid 90s.<br /><br />Sort off off topic, but he wasn't the only nationally recognizable figure to work at that station and in Seattle.<br /><br />Keith Jackson, more known for his work at ABC sports started his career at KOMO 4, the local ABC affiliate; Kenny Mayne, more known for ESPN worked at KSTW 11, a long time independent TV station here; and Linda Cohn, known for her work at ESPN, worked at KIRO 7 as well for a period of time.Scoobyfan1https://www.blogger.com/profile/18432518067992034937noreply@blogger.com
