RIP Alex Trebek

Who is "the best game show host ever"?

Guy stayed classy to the end.

Rest easy in Final Jeopardy.

Rest in Peace, Alex.

Pure class act to the end.

RIP

bummer, he looked good through the end

Jeopardy is awesome.  When I went back to Florida to help care for my mom as she was very sick with cancer we watched Jeopardy regularly.  Such a great show.

RIP Alex Trebek

What is "Classy"?

We watch every episode, either live or on DVR. Sad day :/

My Dad watched that TV show every night. 

Many people were Fans.

RIP Alex and "who are your Favorite TV show ?".

Such class. 

Here's a recent touching moment.  https://twitter.com/JonErlichman/status/1325496032692736002?ref_src=twsr...

One person's Twitter response said "This cuts out Alex’s response where he states he used to do the same thing with his own Grandfather, but instead of teaching him to speak English he taught him how to swear."

And another great Jeopardy moment, when a contestant brings Alex almost to tears with a tribute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8FO3C-h22w

The guy was on "Ellen" after that and explained that Alex had talked to the contestants about going back in for chemo before the show. 

Nice special on 20/20 tonight. ABC.

class, in spades

Some conjecture that all-time Jeopardy champion Ken Jennings will be his replacement.

Mike Edwards, what's the status of your quest to appear on the show?

No word yet, Dave, but that's not surprising; I'm on a waiting list for 18 months I think it was. And yeah, I've heard that Ken might be the replacement and that seems appropriate to me, unless they go with one Sarah or Jimmy from the Clue Crew.

Keep us posted, Mike, we're rooting for you.

What's the training regimen?

Honestly? It was sixty years of soaking up esoterica and little more. I haven't even seen the show lately. But thanks for the kind words.

NPR announced that the final taped episodes of Jeopardy will be aired this week.  Friday's episode is to include a tribute to Alex.
