Sad, the universe is random and weird sometimes in that he and Sean Connery die a week apart.

I was lucky enough to get to meet him just before the diagnosis at my most recent Jeopardy audition. There’s a long break between the test and the mock games while they grade the test and group the contestants, and usually everyone just mills around the room. On this occasion, the audition was in Toronto, and Alex just happened to be in town doing interviews before receiving the Order of Canada in Ottawa the next day, so the contestant coordinators told everyone they had someone in to entertain us during the break, and in walks game show royalty 
It was very cool, they took pictures of him with everyone and did 20 minutes or so of Q&A before they continued the audition. The coordinators said he hardly ever drops in on auditions, so incredibly lucky for all of us.

Sad day. Didn’t realize he was 80, dude looked pretty spry even after his diagnosis.

Please share your favorite Jeopardy thoughts, clips, and memories. There are so many, and I for one need to remember as many as possible right now.

nothing ever will beat that nerdcore moment. I’ve noticed that alex has been punchier in S36 so far but that was off the charts.

I kinda suspect Ken knew “rake” but $200 for a viral “hoe” moment is too cheap to pass up

Alex Trebek was one of those rare guys who nobody can say anything bad about despite him being on TV for over 50 years.
At least he is no longer in pain
RIP

Ha, wearing a suit and having people make you up just right helps a lot, but Trebek aged better maybe than anyone I’ve ever seen.
