    Default RIP Alex Trebek

    I think we’ve all seen this coming but Alex has been strong with his fight. Everyone looked up to him since his diagnosis.

    RIP.
    Watch the cat for different holiday hats!

    So sad! Did he even end up stopping work? I recall hearing that was going to happen but that he was going to push through as long as he could.

    No, people just made that assumption but he never said anything of the sort.

    This really bums me out. Jeopardy's always been my favourite game show. Watching a taping of it has been on my bucket list for years. I had hoped to finally go the last time I was in LA, but they were on hiatus. Not gonna be the same now.

    Hmmm, it looks like you're right. Man, I'm getting tired of being wrong so often, recently. Having a bit of a foggy month.

    Anyone else think he held out just to outlast Sean Connery?

    That's what they feel we need on Christmas, 2020??! What comes on after that feel-good episode? Live footage of an orphanage fire? Burn victim scars frightening their children? Live stream pesticide testing on baby monkeys?

    What a stupid idea.

    This was a real bummer to us. My kids really loved jeopardy.

    For Halloween this year my oldest asked us to dress up as jeopardy. My wife made the costumes. My oldest was alex (even put cornstarch in his hair to whiten it), my other kids were contestants, and i was the board.

    Thats awesome. My kid is almost 12 now, so up until this year, we had a good run of costumes together. 5he best one was doc brown and Marty.

    I'm gonna miss that

    Anyways on topic, super sad about this, just like everyone else, I loved jeopardy, even though I was pretty shit at it lol
