A game show for dummies (SCTV, 1984?)

I'm not exactly sure when this aired on SCTV, but this sketch, Half Wits, a parody of quiz shows such as GE College Bowl, was the inspiration for Saturday Night Live's Celebrity Jeopardy! skits.

Alex Trebel (Eugene Levy, impersonating Alex Trebek) has to deal with contestants who look like they're either suffering from extreme stage fright, or are just plain dim.....



Not sure if this was on NBC or Cinemax. If someone can fill in the blank, let me know.

Rating: B.
