Encyclopedia > Jim Peck
Jump to: navigation, search

Jim Peck is an American game show host, but is also known as the whispering reporter on Judge Wapner's version of The People's Court. He got his start in the form of a contract with ABC to host 3 game shows (he also occasionally substituted for David Hartman on Good Morning America). His first hosting job came on the Ron Greenberg-produced hard quiz The Big Showdown, which ran on ABC in the summer of 1974. His next game show was a bizarre show called Hot Seat, also on ABC, but only for one season. This show centered around an oversized lie detector that was used to measure a husband's or wife's responses to personal questions. It was cancelled in 1976. Peck's last ABC game came in 1977 as Second Chance (which was a primitive version of the 80s game show Press Your Luck). This show fared better than his previous efforts; it lasted four months. After his contract with ABC expired, he was tapped to host a revival of the 60's classic word game "You Don't Say!" (originally hosted by Tom Kennedy in its first two incarnations). The revival lasted only one season. He then hosted the infamous Chuck Barris game show Three's A Crowd, which asked the question "Who knows a man better, his wife or his secretary?" This show was a failure in first-run syndication. He stayed away from hosting jobs for a while, his last one being a substitute role for Jack Barry on the syndicated quiz The Joker's Wild.

PECK USUALLY specializes in pins, and, if you plan to try this form of jewelry too, not the least of your problems will be learning how to attach "pin backs"—the simple device which permits milady to attach the ornament to her dress or the lapel of her suit.
Living with predators (Transcript: Predators of the West studio session) (5441 words)
Jim Peck: I know some groups like yours say hunters have been responsible for bringing back a lot of the prey base, which is responsible for bringing back some of the predators as well.
Jim Peck: As we have this discussion and people are talking about all of these different kinds of issues, Oregon is in a position that we heard a little bit in the piece about.
Jim Caswell: One of the responses I have to that is, in a land state like Idaho where 63% or 66% of the land is owned by the federal government how do you protect private property and its value from a conservation perspective.
