Just saw this online news. Too bad - seemed like a wonderful man. He will be missed.

Sorry, but life goes on. Wonder who will be his replacement (tough....) My gut says Ken Jennings.

After a lifetime of watching this show, I actually answered 3 questions correctly in one night last week. A miracle.

Mr. Trebek was a Humble Man in my eyes and he will be missed by his fans and family. What is RIP for $2000!

R.I.P. Alex Trebek......

A Replacement - Anything that is NOT in the Acting profession or a so call Comedian!

Although it was going to happen sooner rather than later, it is sad. What a fun career some people have and he did a really good job at it.

Replacement not Ken. I did see the name of the man that will replace him. Forgot it, is in the entertainment industry but not a comedian.

It was the perfect role for him

I have an inversion table I use everyday in the guest bedroom. The TV in that room is connected to an antenna in the attic, so I pick up Buzzr TV on channel 64 and usually about that time Concentration is on.

In 2004 when Ken Jennings had that 74 game run I started watching Jeopardy and continued watching until about five years ago. Then last year when the gambler from Las Vegas James Holzhauer started his 32 game streak I started watching again. So in the evening I see Alex looking much different, it's almost like it's two different people.

RIP Alex, you will be missed!

For many years stopped watching but started again when Ken Jennings was on.

He had an incredible knowledge of trivia and when they did a championship show loved how Ken and the other guy knew so much and how well Alex handled the show.

I also was a fan of the Las Vegas gambler James Holzhauer who had won 32 games. Mostly because of the way he hunted for the daily doubles and always bet big, just like a gambler. He was like Ken in that there wasn't a subject he didn't know. I wouldn't mind if he became the new host.

Alex Trebek was a one of a kind. If they decide to replae him I hope it is someone completely different in every way other than intellect.

He suffered with dignity and showed the world there is a way to live with terminal cancer, he was brave beyond words. My heart goes out to his wife and children.

He was no silver spoon, while in college he spent one summer on the back of a garbage truck dumping cans.

Well said. I heard they taped almost a years worth of shows so it will be a while before we see his replacement.
