RIP Alex Trebek

[Flying Turtle]

So sorry to hear of his passing. Jeopardy is one of my guilty pleasures which I seldom miss. I'm old enough to remember the first host, Art Fleming. But Alex was best. It will be strange to see someone different (Ken Jennings?), but I'll still be watching.

They could have Pat Sajak stand in for him for a short while.

You're up Rudy:

"It killed Alex Trebek for $400 please"

"What is pancriatic cancer Drew?"

 

[raggie33]

never was a fan. mostly due to the fact how stupid his show made me feel lol.

I feel the same way raggie33. That show made me feel below average in my thinking before I finally realized that I wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed anyway. He was alright though and may he rest in peace.

I occasionally watched it when I had cable. It had some tough content. Lots of very book wise people in the show.

My favorite episode was one college week the question was "how many cans of beer in a case?" and none of the contestants knew.

That's when I knew two things:
1) I'm normal
2) geeks drink beer from kegs

RIP Alex
