Alex Trebek has officially become a historic institution: Last Friday, the Jeopardy! host set a Guinness World Record for “most gameshow episodes hosted by the same presenter.”
How many episodes is that? Try 6,829 shows, taped over thirty years (Trebek started in 1984, RIP Moustache). Trebek will likely keep this record for a long, long time, as the 73-year-old Canuck’s contract will go into 2016, and there’s no one close to breaking his record (unless Pat Sajak goes Macbeth or something).
Watch his statement below:
