RIP Alex Trebek (1940 - 2020)

This legendary Jeopardy! host recently lost his lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer. Who is Alex Trebek?

Trebek hosted many games shows over his decades spanning career including Battlestars, Pitfall, High Rollers and The Magnificent Marble Machine. But it was the rebooted version of Jeopardy! that made him a household name.

During his tenure he hosted every episode of Jeopardy! except one where he switched places with Wheel of Fortune's Pat Sajak for a April Fool's Day prank in 1997. 

Born in Canada Trebek became a naturalized citizen in 1998 and has stars on both the Hollywood and Canadian walks of fame. 

Over the year Trebek won seven Outstanding Game Show Host Daytime Emmys and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. In 2000,  he was elected into the National Broadcasting Hall of Fame.

He was also named an officer of the Order of Canada - the nation's second-highest civilian honor.

Over the years Jeopardy! has references the Muppets numerous times, on a few occasions they even had their own categories!





In 2005, he made a brief appearance on The Tony Danza Show where he was being interviewed by Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy , on the red carpet of the Daytime Emmy Awards. 



A year later Trebek made an appearance on Sesame Street teaching Telly the "Specials of the Day" at Hooper's Store.

 

In March 2019. Trebek was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but continued to host through October. The shows he already filmed will air through Dec. 25
 
Alex Trebek was 80.

Sesame Street Wins More Emmys!

Sesame Street brought home another 8 Emmy's for their trophy case this weekend. 


The show about our favorite street was a big winner at this year's Daytime Emmy awards, though sadly the other Henson nominated shows didn't fair as well. 


Sesame won for:

Outstanding Special Class – Short Format Daytime Program
Sesame Street: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with Julia & Elmo
Outstanding Art Direction/Set Decoration/Scenic Design
Outstanding Technical Team
Outstanding Multiple Camera Editing
Outstanding Sound Editing – Live Action
Interestingly, "A Song About Songs" beat out "Try A Little Kindness" to win Outstanding Original Song. So, I guess the message is, songs about songs are winners and songs about kindness are losers! What a great message for kids... 

You can watch the video for the emmy winning song below:




Sesame Street also won Outstanding Writing in a Children's, Preschool Children's, Family Viewing and the big prize Outstanding Preschool Children's Series both of which Julie's Greenroom was also nominated for.

Though Sesame Street did win a few awards, they didn't win everything they were nominated for. 


They lost Outstanding Interactive Media Enhancement to a Daytime Program or Series to Fruit Ninja Frenzy Force - (Editors Note: WTF is that??)

Both Sesame Street and Julie's Greenroom both lost Outstanding Directing in a Children's, Preschool Children's or Family Viewing Program to Free Rein, whatever that is. 


Sesame Street also lost Outstanding Sound Mixing to Disney's Broadway Hits at Royal Albert Hall, Outstanding Lighting Direction to The Talk, and Outstanding Hairstyling to Live with Kelly and Ryan. Which was probably all due all Ryan Seacrest's never moving coif.



And finally, John Tartaglia sadly lost Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program for his roles as as Splash & Mrs. Tidy on Splash and Bubbles to Tom Kenny's titular SpongeBob SquarePants, which I was surprised to learn is still making new episodes. 



While the ceremony wasn't on TV, it was broadcast live via Facebook. The In Memoriam section paid tribute to Sesame Street animator Bud Luckey, and recording engineer Jim Czak, as well as puppeteer Chuck McCann. 





As you can see, a whooping 12 thousand people watched the feed. NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, PBS, and every other other national broadcast or local channel should be ashamed of themselves for not airing it.

Sonia Manzano to Receive Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award!

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS)  announced that Sonia Manzano, legendary performer of "Maria" from Sesame Street, will be honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy® Awards on Sunday, May 1, 2016 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites.

"My children and just about every child in America has grown up learning their ABC's from the iconic character of "Maria," on SESAME STREET played by Sonia Manzano,"said Bob Mauro, President, NATAS. "Sonia not only brought the life events of marriage, having a baby, and being a mother to viewers young and old, she also brought a seldom-seen diversity, a Latin role-model, unlike anything on television at the time. She is one of the most beloved female performers in the history of Sesame Street, and the National Academy is proud to be honoring her with our prestigious Emmy Award for Lifetime Achievement." 
"Honoring Sonia Manzano has a special meaning for me - as we both started our professional careers doing the play, Godspell, though in different casts when we were practically children," said David Michaels, SVP, Daytime (NATAS). "Her talent both in front of the camera and as a writer, bringing the themes of diversity to a national audience on Sesame Street, is an extraordinary achievement worthy of this well-earned recognition!"
