About Jim Perry (television personality)
James Edward Perry was a Canadian television game show host, singer, announcer, and performer in the 1970s and 1980s. His mother, Genevieve Perry, was a record-holding swimmer, as well as a known marathon dancer. Perry's first major American network hosting tenure came in 1967, with a short-lived charades-type game called It's Your Move. Three players, one representing each game (one of whom was Roger Dobkowitz), played a series of games culminating with the game Avalanche, where the winner could win up to $100,000 on top of what they won earlier.
