4. This fucking sucks.

Terrible news.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

5. I just saw. I'm glad he got to see Biden and Harris elected!

He will be missed 💖

[Rorey]

7. Me too, about getting to make it this far

I will miss him so much. I think his political leanings were apparent by some of the answers/questions. I know he didn't make them, but surely he had some say in some way. And I know he was Canadian, but this election definitely had world wide impact.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

20. He just seemed too kind, gracious and smart to be a CONservative!

[Rorey]

23. To correct myself

He became a naturalized citizen here in 1998, but his love for his native country was always apparent.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

25. I did not know that!

6. I'll take great Game show hosts for $1000, Alex...

RIP sir!

8. oh my

I liked him too. Rest in Peace

Jeopardy won't be the same without him.

2020 just go away.

9. End of an era

Rest in peace Alex - you gave us years of enjoyment.

10. I am heart broken

My daily dose of sanity - thanks Alex

11. Pancreatic cancer sucks. It just sucks. Period.

It took Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It took Alex Trebek. It took my father.

It almost never makes itself known until it's too late, usually never gives it victim a chance.

If I ever can say I hate a disease, it's that one.

15. It took John Lewis also. nt

[malaise]

18. It's a horrible cancer but Alex lasted longer than most

Love Jeopardy.
I hope John Michael Higgins from America Says is the new host. Ken Jennings is as exciting as watching paint dry.

[CincyDem]

22. ya know, we agree on most things but we're gonna agree to disagree on that front half.

Jennings = paint for sure.

Higgins...for whatever reason, I just can't take him seriously. I see him in a comedian role...too lightweight to replace AT.

Maybe just too soon.

27. I hadn't thought of him until another DUer mentioned his name

shortly after we heard Alex was ill. Others mentioned Ben Bailey.

I wonder how many shows Alex taped for this season. I noticed last week that he was making errors.
He was one tough cookie the way he fought that cancer.
I started watching Jeopardy from the 70s in the Fleming days. I wasn't really a Trebek fan until recently. He grew on me.

12. The only good things about 2020 so far is that we got rid of Trump and the year

ends in a little over a month and a half.

May Alex Rest In Peace, my Mom absolutely loved his show.

[Mme. Defarge]

13. May his memory be eternal.

❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️

[Sunsky]

14. Oh no

So sorry to see this. My mom loved Trebek. She's an avid Jeopardy watcher.

[ProfessorGAC]

17. RIP!

He wasn't even the original host, but he became synonymous with Jeopardy.
Say Alex Trebek, people think Jeopardy.
Say, Jeopardy, people think Alex Trebek!
He became an icon!

16. RIP

19. A harsh reminder that 2020 isn't over just yet

[shrike3]

21. Noooooooo!!!

26. Makes those SNL Jeopardy skits more poignant...

That he and Connery died within a week of each other.

More about Trabek though...in college we spent years watching jeopardy with groups of friends, sometimes half of my dorm would be there watching. Beyond that I watched off and on for decades and it was a great forum for me to feel confidence by showing off my useless knowledge.

RIP Alex!

28. Jeannie came outside where I was working to tell me this.

A big loss. We watched Jeopardy everyday and competed against each other for fun.
We watched Friday, and though I don't know when it was taped, it had to be fairly recently.
He seemed fine. I knew he was in bad shape on the inside, but you couldn't tell. He was always
humorous and intelligent. He'll be very hard to replace. So long Alex, we'll miss you here.

29. He was an icon.

My cousin is a jeapardy faithful.

She said she once read an article that said
he was one of the most trusted people in tv.

RIP
