Like many, I grew up on Jeopardy!, and enjoyed Alex Trebek's masterful hosting. He was the epitome of grace, strength, and determination when he announced his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Rest in peace Sir.
Longtime "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek, adored by generations of trivia mavens who instinctively shout out questions to answers, died on Sunday following his battle with cancer. He was 80.
The official "Jeopardy!" Twitter account confirmed the news, adding that he was surrounded by friends and family as he died at home in the early morning.
"Jeopardy!" executive producer Mike Richards described Trebek's death as an "enormous loss" for the show's crew in a statement on Sunday. The producer said it was an incredible honor to work beside Trebek in the past year and a half as the host continued to work on the show despite his diagnosis.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
A: Best Game Show host in history
Q: Who is Alex Trebek.
We recently watched some old Jeopardy shows from the 80's with a younger Trebek, he improved with age. He was too hyper earlier.
