I'll have to go with Jeopardy! as my favorite Alex Trebek game show, but I have very fond memories of watching Classic Concentration during summer vacations as a kid. Those were the days!!!!!

My favorite Alex Trebek game show is for many years, Jeopardy. I also enjoyed watching him on Classic Concentration and both versions of High Rollers. He also does a great job each year as the host of the National Geography Bee on PBS.
