Trebek compares shows

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Canadian game show veteran Alex Trebek, host of both Jeopardy and Concen- tration, sees a big difference in the two television contests.

Jeopardy contestants have to be sharper and the producers are more fussy about who gets to play.

have and skill,’’ Trebek says. “You need brains, knowledge and quick reflexes.

“‘Concentration is more of a tradi- tional game show. The contestants match numbers and then get a chance to solve a puzzle.’’

Jeopardy is a quiz in which an- swers are provided in six categories and the contestants must come up with the questions. Each category has five answers, and the higher the prize money the tougher the ques- tion.

Seen on 191 stations across the United States, Jeopardy is the séc- ond-highest rated show in syndi tion, topped only by Wheel of For- tune.

It's tough to get on Jeopardy. Many game shows pick contestants from the i but d-b

Rivers captures Broadway

NEW YORK (AP) — Ask Joan Rivers why she took a chance on Broadway, and the answer comes in her familiar rapid-fire delivery.

“Are you kidding?” she machine-guns. “It's the best woman's role written in the last five years, Besides, I wanted to see if I could do it at this stage in my life.”

Could the queen of 23 years of stand-up comedy, the woman who coined the phrase “Can We Talk?” (now a registered trademark), a battle-scarred veteran ef the TV talk-show wars, become a plain, world-weary, middle-class Brooklyn housewife whose marriage and life are falling apart?

She could, earning cheers from audiences and respect from the critics.

The role is the centrepiece of Neil Simon's semi- autobiographical Broadway Bound. Linda Lavin won a Tony Award.for the part, but Rivers has made it her own.

Her success caps a turbulent year. In May 1987 she was unceremoniously dumped from Fox Broad. casting’s late-night talk show after seven months. Three months later her husband, Edgar Rosenberg, died of a tranquilizer overdose.

‘VERY POSITIVE’

Broadway Bound has been “the first good experience since my husband died and the Fox firing,” she says. “It's been a very positive thing.”

Rivers sits on a couch in her Madison Avenue hotel suite and works on a needlepoint sampler. Spike, a tiny mop of a dog, sits at her feet and chews

contestants for Jeopardy must pass a battery of tests. After a written test,

are matched against each other in a mock game to see how they react to pressure and competition.

Trebek grew up in Canada, where he got a degree in philosophy from the University of Ottawa and worked 12 years for the CBC.

He had no desire to be a game show host, but when Alan Thicke, a transplanted Canadian, offered him a job in the United States as host of The Wizard of Odds, he took it.

That job lasted a year and he went on to High Rollers. He’s also been the host of The $128,000 Question, Double Dare and Battlestars. He's been with Jeopardy for four years and Concentration for a year.

“*My real ambition,”’ he said in an interview, ‘‘is to get into production.

Ps for the last three years has whetted my appetite. I think I can do it. It’s just a question of finding the right projects. I'll produce whatever, movies for TV, series, game shows.

“I've done a little acting, but you get typecast doing game shows. Be- sides, I have a very tight schedule.”’

“It’s the only show where the contestants are ahead of the viewers.

‘‘With most game shows the peo- ple at home are ahead. Still, it hooks people. They want to play the game. It’s best if there are a number of people watching. What good is it if you know all the answers and there’s nobody there to see you triumph?”’

dly on a pink slipper.

“One of the reasons I wanted to do the play was that nobody in California thinks of me as an actress,” Rivers says between stitches. “They would think of me only as talk-show hostess or a stand-up comic.”

Playwright Simon and director Gene Saks offered support.

‘Simon said, ‘We don’t want a stunt and Joan

doesn’t want it to be a stunt,’ ” she recalls, “I came in, read and they offered me the part right there.

“T've been acting for a lot longer than people realize. You're acting every minute when you do a stand-up. I knew it was still in me, Timing. Inflection. There's so much to watch when you are building a character. How she walks, how she stands, how she reacts.”

UNGLAMOROUS ROLE

The role of Kate Jerome, wife of a philandering garment worker and mother of two aspiring radio comedy writers, is not Rivers’ first venture on Broadway. She appeared in 1971 in Fun City, a play she co-wrote with her husband,

“It's a joy to see my name on the marquee, Rivers says. “That's when I say, ‘Where's my mother? Where's my husband?’ "

Rosenberg guided her career, advising her on performances.

Now, she faces the audience alone. Some of her fans don’t recognize her when she first walks on stage, a slightly stooped woman in a faced housedress.

To reach the mass audience, Rivers still has that centre square on Hollywood Squares. “I love playing the game and I like the exposure,” she says.

“There is no other exposure at the moment: I'm persona non grata at Carson and also at Letterman, because Letterman is a Carson production.”

NO RETURN

She would return to the Tonight Show, where she was Johnny Carson's leading substitute host until she departed for Fox, but “He doesn't want any part of me.”

Rivers is selling her house in California and buying a smaller home on the West Coast. She has also purchased an apartment in New York.

“When you're single, it's the only place to be,” she says.

“In California, you sit behind a big gate and it’s home entertaining. I need friends at this point in my life who say ‘Let's go to the movies and get a bite afterward.’ "

The thought of another talk show still tantalizes.

“I look at people on talk shows and I think, ‘Oh, no, don’t ask that question, ask this question.’ So obviously it's still very much a part of my lifestyle. But there are enough talk shows on television now. Let's all just wait, and then we'll try again.”

Rosenberg exhibits work

Recent photographs by Fred Ros- enberg of Nelson will be on display at the Nelson Museum during Septem- ber. Rosenberg’s portraits of local people and his family are known for their perceptive and thoughtful qual- ity as much as for the excellent technique of his work.

The current exhibition of black and white portraits has been shown in the Langham in Kaslo, at the Silverton Gallery, the Bonnington Art Centre in Nakusp, and in part at the Grand Forks Art Gallery during the past few months, and will travel to the Lower Mainland during the autumn

Rosenberg was born in Los Ang- eles in 1946, and studied phto- journalism at San Jose State Univer- sity from 1964-69. Emigrating to Canada in 1970, he continued with photographic exhibitions, and photos for publication.

Rosenberg’s work has been pub- lished in Rolling Stone, OVO, West Coast Review, B.C.
