This is a sad day. It's the end of an era. Alex always came across as a true professional and a genuine person. That's not a common mix.
RIP Mr. Trebek. You will be missed.
 
Rest in peace, Mr. Trebek. You will be sorely missed. Sincere condolences to his wife and children and his many fans.
 
Don't quote me on this, but I believe they said today that he worked through Oct.29, and there are enough episodes to make it to Christmas Day.
 
RIP Mr. Trabek. I hope they keep interim host Ken Jennings. There is talk of Pat Sajak taking over. Maybe Vanna can move up and take over Wheel.
 
We just watched Alex's last Jeopardy appearance. :( :angel:

As did I. Very sad. Alex was one of those institutions that spanned different phases of my life. I can recall watching him with my roommates in college during the 80s as well as with my late grandparents.

He was class exemplified. RIP Alex.
 
Big shoes to fill. LeVar Burton could be a really smart choice. The long-term future of Jeopardy is to grab a younger demographic. Many young people grew up watching LeVar on Reading Rainbow over the last 20 years, so he has credibility with the younger generation of viewers that could carry Jeopardy for another two or three decades.
 
Watching Ken Jennings. Doing a great job

I like Ken Jennings. His opening was very moving. He doesn't have what I call a "good broadcast voice" though. Following in Alex's footsteps is going to be nearly impossible.
 
Ken Jennings is doing an excellent job on Jeopardy. I think that Alex would be pleased.
 
Loved the end of last night's match... the 2-day champ trolling Ken with the "What is H-R Block" intentional (incorrect) question, and Ken's classy response - nicely done both ways.

John
