In the last two years, Trebek has been battling pancreatic cancer; although there have been no details released about the cause of his death today.

Well, at least he got to see the fascist voted out of office.

2020 just couldn't end on a good note, could it? I loved watching Jeopardy, and that show will not be the same without him hosting it. He will be missed by millions of Americans. Rest in peace, Alex.

I never saw a show of that man, but he could keep that show 37 years up and running as a host.
He must have been damn good.

'Who is 'Alex Trebek'?

Jeopardy was a smart person game show. And while sometimes the answers were pretty easy, usually they were quite challenging.

And well, you did have to remember to answer with a question.

I'll take "the best running game show" for $200, Alex.

I read today that Alex Trebeck had a replacement in mind for Jeopardy, namely Betty White. He was jesting because of her age, but is a nice idea. He said they have been friends for a long time.

OMG you guys; Alex left a Thanksgiving message in one of the last episodes he recorded before he died:

They are going to start with revolving hosts with Ken Jennings being the first one. Eventually they will get a regular host. My guess is using them as a test run. They have enough episodes with Trebek in them to last till Christmas day.

There is a petition going around wanting Levar Burton to be the host.
