Just saw this on msnbc. So sad! I loved Jeopardy. R.I.P. Alex Trebek.

 

[Buzz]

He lived quite the life and will be missed. May he Rest in Peace

 

[Colonel Green]

Watching this show was a family tradition for much of my life. Thanks for all the memories, Alex.

I watch Jeopardy every day with my mom. RIP Alex

 

[Spiralgraph]

Oh no. I thought he had beaten that dang cancer. RIP

 

[Judy]

Oh no. I thought he had beaten that dang cancer. RIP

It wasn’t beatable. A very sad loss for us Canadians too.

 

[canbelto]

Pancreatic cancer is not really beatable. Horrible odds of survival

 

[Aceon6]

Sad to hear this. Another to add to the 2020 list. RIP Alex.

When I first moved to the USA I got hooked on Jeopardy for a while and watched it on and off for many years before moving back to the UK. I really can't see anyone else hosting the show as he so made it his own.

R.I.P Alex - you will be missed

 

[sk9tingfan]

So sad The downturn in his condition happened pretty quickly. I'm glad he died peacefully

Sadness. RIP

 

[annie720]

Sad day. One of my very favorite celebrities ever. He fought a good fight. RIP Alex.

 

[Peaches LaTour]

My father & uncle both died of this bastardly form of cancer within a year of each other. That was 48 years ago.

It makes me sad/mad that there still is such a high mortality rate with this type of cancer.

May the cure be forthcoming sooner than later.

RIP, Mr. Trebeck

One of the highlights of my brother's elementary school years was making it far enough in a national geography competition to have Alex Trebek personally congratulate him. He was more excited about that than whatever prize he won.

 

[Susan1]

I just saw a crawl that episodes will run till Christmas. I won't be able to think.

 

[made_in_canada]

Just stumbled on this skating connection

 

[Cachoo]

By all accounts a gentleman with class both on tv and off. Boy could some folks learn from his example. RIP

 

[Simone411]

Such sad news. I watched Jeopardy with my mom every day from 1985 through 1987 when she passed away from Ovarian Cancer. It became a tradition after that, and I watched whenever possible.

RIP, Alex. You will be missed so much.

 

[Anemone]

A third generation Jeopardy addict and the fourth gen has just been getting into it lately.
Just can't imagine the show without him.

 

[skatesindreams]

An example to all, of courage and grace.
My heart aches.

 

[Susan1]

Watching this show was a family tradition for much of my life. Thanks for all the memories, Alex.

Here too. I got my dad a handheld Jeopardy! game for Christmas back in the 90's. We played all afternoon.

 

[BittyBug]

A true legend. May he rest in peace.

 

[annie720]

Two of my former neighbors were on the show, one 25 years ago and one 8 years ago, and they had nothing but good things to say about Alex.

 

[skatingfan5]

I have been staying with my sister for the past three weeks as she recovers from surgery and watching Jeopardy together. every night has become much more than a routine, it's almost a ritual for us.

RIP, Alex. You brought a lot of fun moments to many, especially to those going through difficult times.
