JOHNNY GILBERT – AGE 93

Johnny Gilbert might be 92 already, but he is not leaving the show Jeopardy! anytime soon. For most who are at this age in life, they might want to unwind and relax at the comfort of their home. However, for Gilbert, who has voiced and announced many games shows his life, his work as an announcer is like a routine in his life that is hard for him to take away. Likewise, in an unfortunate event, he succeeded as host of Jeopardy! when Alex Trebek passed away.

It was a hard blow for Gilbert to lose a dear friend due to illness. He even considered retiring after what happened, but he remained in the show to continue what his dear friend did. Consequently, Gilbert’s career as an announcer was given its due credit when he received recognition from the Guinness World Records for his work on the show as an announcer for 36 years. Likewise, his relationship and marriage deserve longevity awards as Gilbert has been married to his wife Sharee since 1958.
