Called it Canada's answer to ABC's defunct American Bandstand, and Alex Trebek's first series - the 1960s cult dance program Music Hop - was a success.

Trebek introduced Canadian teens to Canada's diverse roster of musical artistry in English and French (think "Go Go Trudeau" meets Nickelback's "How You Love Me") - and many of the world's top Billboard chart-topping musical acts appeared on MH - among them the Sinners.

The Sinners' offbeat novelty hit, "Go Glo Trudeau," satirized Prime Minister Trudeau's rise to power in the Canadian government as a means of controversy. So, where did Trebek steered away from the audience?

Trebek himself went on to fill in the shoes left by Art Flemming as the host of Jeopardy! during the 1980s.
