another icon of our generation has been lost. hope he didn't suffer too much, though i know he prob did:pray:

Very sad! My father died of pancreatic cancer 21 years ago at age 65 and only lived 1 1/2 years after diagnosis. Sadly doesn't seem to have made any progress in treatment/cure over all that time. RIP Alex. Will miss him on Jeopardy.

I read that he will run until Dec 23rd show. At this time they have not picked a replacement, as of yet.

He was such a kind, intelligent gentleman. It's amazing that he was able to tape enough shows to get us through this year. 2020 has been rough and I'm sorry to see him go. Rest in peace Alex, you were universally loved and will be truly missed.

RIP Alex Trebec

Jeopardy… A must see from my husband and I. Just about every night. Yes, I know we probably need a life but that and wheel of fortune are just fun to watch.
|
They do not tape shows a year ahead. I had the pleasure of being in the studio audience a few years ago. They tape 5 shows a day, two days a week ...... for a couple of months. That's as far ahead as they go. This morning's newspaper says that they will continue to show pre-recorded shows until December 25th.
God rest his soul. He was a good man and respected philanthropist. |

I agree. Ken Jennings is already on the Jeopardy production staff and has his own quiz show in a small city -just for practice.

Alex and Jeopardy, shall never forget greatest addition to ones life.

He will be missed

He will be missed as a host who made sure the players remained the focus of the show rather than himself, and the dignified manner in which he handled his illness. I hope they choose his successor carefully and find another person of quality to host the show. |
