Gugny Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I welcomed Alex Trebek into my living room most nights for many years. I have never known Jeopardy without him and it will be a difficult transition, as he embodied the show. I'll miss him and may he rest in peace. And ***** cancer.

Royale with Cheese Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 This one really sucks. I grew up watching Jeopardy and still watched it to this day. Best host of all time. RIP Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if SNL can throw together a tribute celebrity jeopardy. I talked about this very thing yesterday. Can they, sure. Will and Daryl are still kicking it.

DrDawkinstein Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 RIP Alex. And can we please stop saying people "lost their fight" with cancer if/when they pass? ANY day they lived means they won that fight. They didnt lose anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Jeopardy James would do well as a host. He's kind of weird and annoying. I believe they have been grooming Jennings as well. His personality is a much better fit and he has been showcased on the show over the years the most (including this seasons GOAT themed stuff). RIP Alex, you will be dearly missed by millions.

What would be interesting would be the prototypical genius / misanthrope as host. Condescending and belittling; think 'Sheldon Cooper'.

They interviewed him not too long ago about who he thought his replacement would be and he said, "Well, it's probably going to be a woman and she'll have to be bright. She'll have to have a good sense of humor." RIP, Alex. I loved having you in my home every night and you will be missed greatly.

thenorthremembers Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 RIP Alex. Started watching the show at 9, and still watch it every night. I think I learned more from Jeopardy than I did in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Bet the pardon of the OP, but Alex Trebek did not lose his fight. He fought one of the most deadly forms of cancer known to man, for much longer than expected, and did it with an attitude that I personally would love to emulate on even my best day. He is an icon, and I will never forget him. See you on the other side, dear Alex. We will certainly miss you. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP after that difficult battle. Cancer sucks......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
