Rest in peace. He had a great career.
What is a loss to America?
Sigh
Good riddance
That’s sad.
Maybe they’ll bring Art Fleming back.
If you’re old enough to remember Art Fleming, you’re old.
He worked right up until the end and faced living under a death sentence with style and grace. He was a class act.
I am a devoted JEOPARDY fan! He will be missed. RIP dear man!
ALEX TREBEK DEAD AT 80. 80 responses at present.
He also said he didn’t believe in an afterlife, so, RiP if you can, Alex.
Very sad to hear this. The guy was “in your home” 5 days a week, half an hour at a time, for 36 years. He’s almost part of the family. And a very talented game show host. He got how you do that job. Whoever is next needs a good bit of Trebek in him (or her.)
It definitely won’t be the same.
The sad part is that he’ll be visiting you again tomorrow night, via TV, as he always has.
I wonder if this is why Jeopardy! hired Ken Jennings to do categories for them.
George Alexander Trebek, 80, was the son of a French Canadian mother and a Ukranian father. After his marriage and divorce to a business woman, he married a real estate manager with whom he had three children, one adopted. He was 5'8" tall. He was a registered Independent.
The first version of Jeopardy was created in 1980 by game show legend, Merv Griffin.
At the time of his death, Alex's salary for hosting Jeopardy was $18M per year. His estimated net worth at time of death was $75M.
For many years he owned a 700 acre ranch in Creston, California where he bred and raised thoroughbred race horses.

He looked good for his age.
May he rest in peace.
When you don’t have anything nice to say ... So I won’t.
Sad,but no one beats stage 4 pancreatic cancer. It’s always just a matter of time, from a few weeks to 18 months.
