The face of Jeopardy passed away today at the age of 80.

Il take that sucks for 1000 Alex

Classy bright guy who actually "Added" something of value and brains to the TV unlike much of the garbage and utter sh!t you see on the tube today.

On a side note its almost weird (and funny) that he passed away the same week as Sean Connery, that SNL skit of them together is a classic. Thanks for the memories and RIP Mr Trabek

Dude went out like a tough SOB and I respect that.. He’d knew he was fighting an almost unwinnable battle and went out like. Nothing was going on til the very end.


I was working on a job this past week where the customers 10yo child clearly was facing cancer, or even something terminal. And it actually sucked to watch a 10 yo girl with no hair take 10 minutes to use her walker from the curb to the front door, as her parents to their credit, want her to fight thru. And even as she was kinda whining about needing help getting up the stairs, I told her she’s the toughest person in this house and she’s an inspiration. Cause it really was/is. Same for Trebek. Dude handled this like a man. Don t give a shit how politically incorrect that is

R.I.P. He will be missed . We loved his show . Just about the only thing on that makes you think . R.I.P.

100% agree

I wonder if they'll replace him with Louie Anderson?

RIP, man. Huge respect. His diagnosis message was delivered with nothing but class:

Apparently he recorded his last few episodes a couple weeks ago:

How many people would really give a shit about the work they're doing when they're 80 to keep it up? I mean, really...

Alex was always a class act. And he handles business like a boss in spite of his diagnosis. He will be missed for sure. I enjoyed watching a lot of Jeopardy over the last couple years. Really fell back into it after not having watched it a lot in years.
