The longtime host, 77, said that he was 'privileged' to hold the position for 41 seasons, and pointed out that the game show's lack of 'social issues and politics' made it a 'safe place for family fun.' Prescription: Murder was a 1962 play written by William Link and Richard Levinson, who, six years later in 1968, adapted it and turned it into the first pilot of what would become the TV series known as Colombo, which debuted on NBC in 1971. This will be the ninth play Sajak will star in alongside Moore, whose friendship dates back to 1968 when they served at the American Forces Vietnam Network in Saigon.
