fleming also appeared in many television commercials. he was first spotted by merv griffin on a commercial for trans world airlines. griffin thought fleming was "authoritative, yet warm and interesting", and fleming was invited to audition for the role of host for a quiz show griffin was developing. fleming (an actor with no prior tv quiz show experience) was initially skeptical, but his agent encouraged him to "act like a game show host" at his audition, and fleming ultimately won the job. the show was "jeopardy!", which fleming hosted from march 30, 1964, to january 3, 1975, and again from october 2, 1978, to march 2, 1979. although often described as the "host" of the program, announcer don pardo's introduction of him announced, "and here's the star of jeopardy!, art fleming." as "the world's greatest quiz show's" first host, fleming earned two emmy award nominations. while he was host of "jeopardy!", fleming never missed a taping.
