Johnny Gilbert is still very much alive and well, dude. Whatever you think of matt1 and his awful wikipedia links, take 30 seconds to do your own research before you go changing someone else's subject line, especially when you're making it incorrect.

Don Pardo was the original Jeopardy announcer. Long before SNL.

I'm glad somebody remembers Don Pardo was the announcer on the original Jeopardy. For the record, Art Flemming was the original host.
