Born in the United States but achieving his initial fame in Canada, a nation that would adopt him as their own, Jim Perry is most familiar to American audiences as host of Card Sharks and Sale of the Century. A very smooth operator, Perry had pipes of gold which is the radio way of saying he was naturally gifted vocally.

Among the greats who hosted game shows, Jim Perry held his own. In this 1980 episode, those,greats came to play. Not once did they upstage or intimidate their host.
