The Technodrome Forums - RIP Jim Perry

The popular Canadian/American host, Jim Perry, has died @ the age of 82.

In Canada, he was a fixture hosting Miss Canada Pageant from 1967-90 as well as Canadian game shows, Definition, Headline Hunters, It's Your Move (1967) & many others.

In 1978, he finally crossed the border when he did NBC's first Goodson-Todman game since The Match Game, Card Sharks. When Tom Kennedy took over Password +, he was a panelist for a celebrity tournament.

January 3, 1983; NBC had a trio of games. Sale of The Century was not only Jim Perry's other American game show, the series lasted 6 years.

He will be missed. And with Peter Tomarken's passing (who had Hit Man), Betty White of Just Men!, you are the sole survivor!

He also was a good singer.
