Welcome to the 474th edition of Who Am I?, the weekly game where I dish out a daily clue to a subject and you have to guess who or what it is.

Every day, the clues get easier. The winner of this week's game gets a piece of my gratitude.

This week's subject is a PERSON.

CLUE #1: I was born in New York City.

Art Fleming

Congrats, Aaron!

It's Art Fleming, best-known as the original host of Jeopardy! from 1964 to 1975 on NBC and again in 1978. Like current host Alex Trebek, he battled pancreatic cancer but lost to it. He died in 1995 at 70.

In 1984, he made an appearance in Weird Al's "I Lost on Jeopardy".



New game next week!

One of his best songs. I like it better than the Greg Kihn Original.

Congrats Aaron.
