Geoff Edwards(1931-2014)

Edwards was one of four game show hosts to have emceed a game show in the United States and another in Canada at the same time. The other three were Howie Mandel, Alex Trebek and Jim Perry. Mandel and Trebek are native Canadians, and Perry, although born in New Jersey USA, had legal residency status in Canada, due to his family living in Toronto for most of the 1970s, and maintaining a home in Toronto, even after moving back to the USA. Because of no legal ties to Canada, Edwards was the only one required, by the Canadian Government, to have a Canadian co-host.

[on his all-time favorite game show] It was Play The Percentages, and we had six circular thing-set, when we went to do the bonus round, somebody pressed the button and the spinning thing came out of the stage set Play The Percentages or something, and one day, we're on the set, and the guy pressed the button and the thing didn't come up and starting pulling the whole stage up, behind it, so, we didn't do that anymore, but that was kind of weird.
