Yes. So sad. He will be missed terribly. Jeopardy will not be the same without him.

Beloved host Alex Trebek, who started out in radio and on shows in his native Canada before becoming a fixture of American TV for 36 years as the steady hand of the juggernaut Jeopardy!, has died at the age of 80
Photos His long Legacy!

RIP Mr. Trebek. Your fight is over. :rose: :rose: :rose:
-
He seemed like such a nice man and he put up a good fight.
-
I was saddened to hear of his passing. Wishing his family and friends peace and comfort during this difficult time. May he RIP.

He was always handsome and classy, while maintaining a good sense of humor. :heart:
A loss of a great host for an intelligent show. :star:

Hopefully I am not the only one to see the irony that he and Sean Connery both died so close in time to the other. I stopped watching SNL long ago when they opted to no longer give equal time to mocking both sides of the political spectrum. But I will gladly watch those Celebrity Jeopardy clips on YouTube several times over. It would be a great tribute to both icons if SNL could bring back Will Ferrell and Darrell Hammond for one last run at each other.

Peaceful journey Mr Trebek. I liked him. I used to love watching Jeopardy when I was a kid after school.
-
I had not heard that he had passed, will miss his shows,

He did put up a good fight. RIP Mr. Trebek. You will be missed. Prayers for his family and friends.

fought a hard battle

This completely gutted me. He'll be very much missed. :(

That's too bad. Pancreatic cancer is nearly impossible to beat.
Does anyone remember Alex Trebek on Cheers when Cliff Clavin was a Jeopardy contestant: https://youtu.be/botdmsQilnU
Or The Golden Girls when Dorothy and Rose were contestants: https://youtu.be/BPlBYUaxcyM (There's a Trump joke in there too)
He seemed like a fun guy. :)

I saw a biography of Alex Trebek last night on one of the channels. It was not listed as a program and was not talked about in advance as far as I know. It was a great tribute to the man. It told about his personal life, his bout with cancer, his wife whom he adores, and his enjoyment of doing Jeopardy even when he was ill.
He gave away a lot of his money and did other generous acts as well.
He said he always wanted to be remembered as a nice guy, etc. He really was. :star:

I believe he did several cameos, as you mentioned. They're always fun! Thanks for reminding us, 1imaginarygirl.

Very sad. I enjoyed watching him on Jeopardy.
-
RIP...he will be missed for sure...I remember watching Jeopardy in person 4 years....
-
I saw on the news last night, he taped enough shows into December. He was in the studio taping two weeks before his death. What a brave man he was. RIP he will be missed
-
He has handled his cancer with dignity and refused to give up to this terrible disease. He continued to work every day and every time I saw him he always had a smile on his face. RIP Alex Trebek you fought the long battle and now you can rest.
-
I read that his final Jeopardy episode will air on Xmas day.
-
That's sad he died. Jeopardy will not be the same without him. His final episode will be aired on Christmas day. I will watch his final episode on that day. After that, I will not be watching Jeopardy again.
-
RIP. He was a fighter. He will be missed.
-
The older I get, the more people near my age are dying. It is depressing :'(
-
I had been avoiding the news because I was tired of hearing about politics. I finally decide to check the news and find out that Alex Trebek has passed away. I'm going to watch reruns of Jeopardy. I don't think I would like the show with another host.

No but there is suppose to be a tribute to him showing the shows he guest starred in. I saw it last night but don't remember when or where it is to come on. His last episode of Jeopardy is on Christmas Day.

The show will go on. There have been other game shows that it seemed like a new person would never be the same and now it is like they were always there. I never watched Jeopardy all that much. I did some. I liked him as a host.
-
R.I.P., now your body is free of pain. You will be missed, you seemed like a very classy act.
-
RIP ALEX Trebek! Everybody keep saying you fought a hard fight but lost! I’d like to see it as you won against cancer 3 times which probably weaken you each time & the 4 time your body just didn’t have enough strength to fight a fourth time. I just can’t seem to see anybody else good enough to replace Alex Trebek as host for Jeopardy!

havent heard about that...loved jeopardy
