Biography

Originally from Columbus, Ohio, and a journalism graduate of the Ohio State University,[1] she was a Playboy Bunny in the 1960s under the pseudonym "Teddy Howard".[2] With her first husband, Louis Callei, she later moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where she ran her own promotion and party planning business[1] before joining CHCH-TV in Hamilton as host of a daily talk show, Call Callei. The show was noted particularly for Callei's boundary-pushing interest in sexual topics; her 1972 interview with Xaviera Hollander led to a reprimand from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission in early 1973.[3]

She left CHCH to take over as cohost of CTV's Canada AM in February 1973,[4] after Carole Taylor left the program to join W5;[5] however, she lasted only a few months before leaving the program by mutual agreement that she was not a good fit for a morning show, and was succeeded by Helen Hutchinson.[6]

She married Alex Trebek in 1974,[7] returning to the United States as he pursued career opportunities there. They divorced amicably in 1981.[8][9] She had no children with Trebek,[9] although he became adoptive father to her daughter from her previous marriage.[10]

She later remarried to film producer Peter Kares, and launched her own businesses, including Scent Seal, which created a new system for packaging perfume and fragrance samples,[11] and Mag-a-Music, an early foray into multimedia music distribution.[12]
