The American born MC is best known in his native country as host of 'Card Sharks' (1978-1981) and 'Sale of the Century' (1983-1989). Having family in Canada, he held dual citizenship and was perhaps better known in Canada as host of the long running game shows 'Headline Hunters' (1972-1983) and 'Definition' (1974-1989) and was also the longest serving host (24 years) of 'The Miss Canada Pageant', which he hosted from 1967-1990

:o Don't scare me like that. I thought Joe Perry had died. :-\\ Let's hope he doesn't "walk that way" anytime soon.
The only one of these game shows I've heard of is Card Sharks. Still, RIP. :(

RIP, Jim. But no thread mentioning that show would be complete without this track.

I was a fan of that show too... although I personally liked the version hosted by Bob Eubanks better.
