Cary Graeme Young (22 December 1939 – 31 December 2022)[1] was an Australian television quiz personality, best known for his success on Nine Network game show Sale of the Century.[2]

After first appearing as a regular contestant in 1982, Young was regularly invited back to the program to participate in various tournaments.[3]

Young took part in Sale of the Century's "Champion of Champions" tournament in 1983, followed by the "Australia versus America" challenge in 1985.[4] He then won the Commonwealth Games tournament in 1986 and the World Championship tournament in 1987.[4][5] Young was also the winner of two Sale of the Century masters tournaments in 1990 and 1997.[4]

His final appearance on Sale of the Century was during the 21st Birthday Challenge in 2001 (albeit as a special guest rather than as a competitor) shortly before the long-running show was axed.[4]

From 2000 to 2006, Young wrote a quiz for the Herald Sun newspaper.[6]

In 2011, Young donated a Holden Piazza he had won on Sale of the Century to the National Motor Museum in Birdwood, South Australia.[7]

Young became involved in a legal battle with former Wheel of Fortune host Rob Elliott regarding unpaid royalties for a board game Elliott had created called Smart Ass, for which Young wrote questions.[8][9]

Personal life and death

Young was born in New Zealand where he developed a passion for general knowledge during lengthy hospital visits as he struggled with asthma as a child.[6] After becoming an amateur boxer, Young moved to Australia where he spent time backpacking.[6]

In Queensland, Young gained employment at the Cape River Meatworks in Pentland.[10] He married and settled in Charters Towers.[10] As his Sale of the Century appearances became more regular, Young and his wife moved to Melbourne in 1984 to be closer to the GTV-9 studios where Sale of the Century was filmed.[10]

After suffering from Alzheimer's disease, Young died at the Nellie Melba Village in Wheeler's Hill on 31 December 2022. He was 83.[1][11]

His death prompted tributes from various Australian figures including quiz champion Brydon Coverdale and politician Bob Katter.[2][10]
