It's been quite a few of them and sort of hard to count them all when a revival of a show or a pilot could count as another show. Then there was a show in French called Génies en herbe. In this show Trebek alternated smoothly between French and English throughout the show.

After High Rollers was cancelled in 1980, Trebek moved on to Battlestars for NBC in 1981, but the series was canceled in 1982 after only seven months on the air. While doing this, he was host of the syndicated Canadian game show Pitfall, once again commuting between countries (this time between California and Vancouver, where Pitfall taped). After both series ended, Trebek hosted a revival of Battlestars called The New Battlestars that ended after thirteen weeks,

In 1966 he started hosting the high school quiz show, Reach for the Top. In 1970 he hosted a Canadian television show called Jackpot!. In 1973, he moved to the United States and worked for NBC as host of a new game show, The Wizard of Odds. A year later, Trebek hosted the popular Merrill Heatter-Bob Quigley game show, High Rollers, which had two incarnations on NBC (1974-76 and 1978-80) and an accompanying syndicated season (1975-76). In between stints as host of High Rollers, Trebek hosted the short-lived CBS game show, Double Dare,as well as the second season of the syndicated series The $128,000 Question, which taped in Toronto.

In 1987, while still hosting Jeopardy!, Trebek returned to daytime television as host of NBC's Classic Concentration, his second show for Mark Goodson. He hosted both shows simultaneously until September 20, 1991, when Classic Concentration aired its final episode. In 1991 Trebek made broadcast history by becoming the first person to host three American Game Shows at the same time, earning this distinction on February 4, 1991, when he took over for Lynn Swann as host of NBC's To Tell The Truth, which he hosted until the end of the series' run on May 31, 1991.
