RIP Alex Trebek...

Very sad news. He was all class.

(I’ll hit the buzzer) Who is .....Alex Trebek?

Very sad indeed lots of my childhood memories with my grandmother had so much to do with this guy...and even the show Pitfall.

A friend of mine passed away from pancreatic cancer a few years ago.

A multi millionaire who caught it in stage 1. He threw everything imaginable at it, including many trips to Germany seeking alternate treatments.

In the end he lasted about a year and a half from the original diagnosis.

It's a death sentence pretty much........

Much respect to Alex Trebek who always carried himself with class and dignity.

He represented his Country well.

Classy dude, I remember growing up on Caledonia Rd and watching him host Reach For The Top.

Pancrietic cancer doesn't forgive, Luciano Pavarotti didn't last long after being diagnosed.
 
Lovely guy. He seemed to look fine right till the end. Certainly acted as if all was well. Class act. Reached a ripe old age. RIP.

Funny you can make jokes but I don't feel it. Sad indeed.
I'll take Legends for $2,000.
He was a cultural icon in two countries and will be missed.
Ans: Who is Alex Trebek?
 
Sad news indeed . I knew someone who was diagnosed last year and she died last week. It’s very rare to recover from this one. R.I.P to them both
 
I remember watching him on a Canadian game show called Pitfall. That was the 1st time I saw him. Eugene Levy’s Alex Trebel is classic stuff.

i‘d suggest Brad Rutter as a replacement. Great Jeopardy contestant and not as awkward as Jennings or Holzhauer

He seems like a decent guy. Not sure he has the personality, though.

Actually, it seems like an impossible task to fill those shoes.
