SIAP I searched both jeopardy and Alex Trebek but moving on.

Last night a contestant used his final jeopardy answer to send Alex off. Nice moment.

ETA I’m an idiot. My bad I screwed that up.

Jeopardy will not be the same without Alex.

Aren't they in the middle of the tournament of champions?

edit: I believe the OP is misinformed about Alex leaving just now.

Not his last show

article about that video you posted..

quote:

Continuing with the tournament, he added, “[That] cost you $1,995, you’re left with $5.”

Trebek, who has hosted “Jeopardy!” for 35 years, revealed in March that he has been diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer — one of the fastest moving and deadliest types of cancer. Trebek has decided to continue hosting the show, however, returning in August after starting chemotherapy.

Last night was the final episode for Alex


Wait, what? I have not seen this anywhere. I thought he was battling through and would keep doing them till he passes or physically unable?

He plans to still film. He’s taking a break

Watched it as it aired. Thought Alex choked up slightly although they did not show him as he was speaking.

Alex has been on the TV in my household my ENTIRE life. I have a video as a 2-3 year old with Alex on the tv in the back.

Steve Harvey would not fit on Jeopardy. It just isn't the type of show for a loud, comedic host.
