What are the most basic things you know about me? And how might that affect my choice?

Seems like anyone involved with the Expos would have to be a yes for Q4.

Does anyone named Eric fit?

I'm thinking Bob Barker but he was before the 25.

Next would be Trebek which was '40.

Richard Dawson was '32

Looking him up and he probably would, but seems too obscure.

Doesn't even have his own Wikipedia page.

That said, I like this better than any suggestion anyone (including myself) has said so far.

I tried looking up famous Erics and came up with nothing.

If it is not a game show host or other type of TV show/broadcast host I am not sure who it could be.

from what i see Leiber was born in Vienna Austria, therefore doesn't qualify for Q8.

Don't really know where to go here.

20. Does not seem to have held a Guinness World Record. He is associated with a Canadian TV record, however.

Okay, this should put it to rest and not leave it hanging. He has hosted several Canadian and American game shows.
