RIP Alex Trebek...

because of alex, i found the chiaroscurist in me. rip

 
Amazing that he was still working up until 10 days before his death. He's one of those guys that nobody has anything bad to say about. One class act! RIP

As did my sister a few years ago. 7 months for her.

Condolences to you and your family Shack.
 
Alex Trebek Announces 2020 NHL Draft Pick for the Ottawa Senators about a month ago. RIP.


 
Everywhere I look there are tributes to Alex. Online, print, talk shows, sports talk shows, news show.

The man's appeal was virtually universal. He touched many people.

Just finished watching tonight's episode. Alex was a couple of weeks away from dying and he does a spontaneous tap dance during the interviews.

Side note: Ken Jennings will be the 1st interim host as they look for a long term replacement. Ugh.
 
I think the guy that hosts the Canadian version of Cash Cab, Adam Growe, would make a good host. Keeps it Canadian too.

He's an arrogant POS, he took exception to Blue Jays fans outnumbering Mariners fans at T-Mobile Park
 
Apparently there is an online petition for Levar Burton to be the next host. I think he would be an excellent choice.

"Jeopardy! will resume production at the end of November with a number of interim hosts, starting with Ken Jennings, who holds the record for the longest winning streak in the history of the show with 74 wins."

Can't say that I know enough about his personality, but sounds pretty good. They need someone who does not get too excited or go over the top. Someone who respects the game and knows that their job is to keep it flowing and interesting, not be condescending while being knowledgeable and inject some low key levity.
 
Alex's final 5 episodes will begin airing on Monday January 4th
 
He had a hot wife 26 years his junior, and they were married for over 30 years and had 3 children. That's a beautiful thing and a dream come true for any mortal man. It just goes to show that age is just a number. Except for the part when you die and your wife lives another 30+ years without you because she's so much younger.

Always seemed like a nice guy and was a great host.
