2020 is so fucked up. RIP Alex Trebek. Fucking trivia club bros honor him.
Which means now, we have only him left

Between the famous Wheel and the Family Feud reboot with Steve Harvey that no one asked for, it’s going to be a rough week for our Boomer generation.

Damn, Sean Connery and Alex Trebek so close together. May they be irritating each other on the Jeopardy panel in the sky.
"Glad" I'm not the only one that noticed how close their deaths were.

Pancreatic cancer is such a killer that it's a miracle that Trebek lasted as long as he did. I'm a trivia buff so this is definitely a big loss for me.
 
Alex Trebek's death isn't surprising, but it still makes me sad. Jeopardy won't be the same without him.
Its going to be a shock when Johnny Gilbert announces a new host who isn't Alex. Trebek is a television icon who has been a welcome and predictable part of late night TV for 40 years. and I will forever miss his introduction of Alex Trebek after the final episodes air.

You realize now Trebek will be replaced with a woke multi-ethnic tranny who will make sassy quips after every answer
I've joked with my Dad about this because we used to watch Jeopardy at dinner for years. He thinks the replacement host will be someone from PBS or some "respectable" news source who can project an air of academia and class. I always say it will be someone who can generate headlines regardless of their personality, someone like Ken Jennings or Steve Harvey. Ultimately Trebeks replacement will not be based on how they stack-up as a TV game-show host but on how they compare to Alex.
 
Sadly inevitable. But I can't imagine Jeopardy without him. He wasn't the original host. But the only host of that particular incarnation and the only one people remember. It will be very strange without him.
Send in Morgan Freeman.

Meh, who am I kidding? It's going to be impossible to find anyone who can fill his shoes. They'll probably wind up just dropping in a milquetoast lump, like they did when Drew Carey replaced Bob Barker on The Price is Right. Funny guy, but horrible game show host.

Morgan Freeman as the host of Jeopardy? I'd love to see him try it out.

I grew up watching Jeopardy with my grandmother on one of our 3 channels. Wheel of Fortune and Who wants to be a millionaire were always a bit more interesting for my young self, but it slowly grew on me over time. Even if I didn't understand a lot of the questions and answers, I always like Alex's demeanor and attitude, he seemed like a really nice man who was interested in the pursuit of knowledge and keeping his mind sharp. That must have helped him a lot, because years later he was still just as coherent as when he started.

While perusing his wikipedia entry after his death I found it a bit surprising that he was religious. Someone so ingrained in knowledge and science but still having some kinda spiritual beliefs. I wonder if it made him a polarizing figure for some people. I've always been of the opinion that religion, though not really for me, could do some good with people who needed some kind of guidance to keep them off a bad path. Like having a church community to talk to every week, and exchange good morals. Anyway, If there's something after, and I really hope there is for my sake, I'm scared as fuck of aging and dying. I hope he's doing well.

Speaking of which, it's gonna be a rough day when Marc Summers finally croaks. He's already had some battles with cancer, so, yeah.
