Alex Trebek
On Friday night, Trebek claimed the Guinness World Record for "most game show episodes hosted by the same presenter." He has presided over Jeopardy! since
1984, hosting a total of 6,829 episodes. In the past three decades, Jeopardy! has
won 30 Emmy Awards, a record for a game show. Last year, TV Guide named the
syndicated series the greatest game show of all time.
Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which
happened on that day in 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress.
The United States Army also celebrates it’s Birthday on this date; Congress adopted
"the American continental army" after reaching a consensus position in the Committee
of the Whole on June 14, 1775.
In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established
June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act
of Congress. Flag Day is not an official federal holiday.
