I can’t believe that Alex was 80! He looked like he was not a day past 60! Rest In Peace Alex! You are and forever will be truly loved and missed. You were an icon with the upmost highest standard of professionalism, dignity and character. I only hope I can be even a tiny bit of a good person and man you were.
“Jeopardy!” was a quiz show that was actually before my time, when Art Fleming was the host. The NBC television network originally carried it from 1964 to 1974. Thanks to its revival in 1984, I got to watch “Jeopardy!”, but with Alex Trebek as the host of the show. I was age 5 at that time of the premiere. I grew up on “Jeopardy!” and “Jeopardy!” grew on all of us: In our homes, whenever the show was on, playing a copy of the home game and the video game version of the show, and even in our classrooms, as a method to prepare for an exam. What Alex wished before he passed was the show to continue, Even I wished the show to continue, mainly because of the things we may or may not have been taught in school, which eventually ended up on the show. RIP Alex Trebek. Thanks for making learning fun.
@@buckeyewill2166 Jeopardy! with Art Fleming also had a syndicated version and was revived with him in 1978 in NBC. They had a feature in that version that I've always wondered why it's never been apart of Alex Trebek's. It was called the Run A Category Bonus. They started a jackpot with $5,000 and each day a person DIDN't run a category, another $1,000 was added until a contestant finally ran a category. The jackpot was separate and wasn't added into the daily winnings. I truly wish they'd resurrect it because it would surely put an end to the idiocy of jumping all over the board, harem scarem without even knowing what a category's actually about. Ironically, Art Fleming also passed away due to pancreatic cancer.
My family and I watched Jeopardy every night and mostly to see Alex Trebek, Jeopardy will never be the same without him! My thoughts and prayers and condolences go out to everyone he left behind! Rest In Peace Alex Trebek 💔😢😭
Same . I miss answering the questions with my sisters . He will be missed and I mean it . I don’t want the show to end it is the best game show in America yet . I don’t want a new host , I just want Alex . But everyone dies . So sad 😞
@Benj Smith Productions thats what im thinking. its sad that hes gone, but the way he died is not sad, i hope i die in such a peaceful and loving way. Probably not tho lol i kinda feel like a piano will fall on me one day while im walking down the sidewalk. now thats sad.
@Benj Smith Productions his wife has a corpse next to her on a swing. She has to get off, he most likely slumps to the ground. He lays on the ground until coroner takes him away. Idk
Honestly, that makes me happy that he died in the way he wished next to the woman he loved... It’s sad that he’s gone, but be glad that he was here and was the man that he was.
@@DeezNuts-gm5if thanks for ruining a wholesome thing. He died next to the woman that he loved. Also he was probably on hospice care and there were likely people there to remove the body and make sure his was comfortable....
🙁 I am sorry to learn of the passing of Alex Trebek. He was such a kind and genuine person. Jeopardy will not be the same without him. RIP Alex Trebek 🙏🏾
I have no more words anymore . I’m speechless. I can’t believe my eyes . What is jeopardy without you. They might as well end the show now , because there is no point of continuing without you , o dear boss . You will be missed and remembered in our hearts and especially for us jeopardy fans . Not all heroes wear capes and have superpowers . Thanks for being by our side and always being so brave on your 2 year battle with pancreatic cancer. R.I.P Alex Trebek and thank you for everything 😭
It has been a week since we lost our beloved Alex Trebek and he will be remembered forever and ever since I started watching him on television as a die hard fan of his work
Rip Alex Trebek. I grew up with him, everytine I come home from school my dad and my family would watch it at 4:00 pm every day. RIP a game show legend.
My mama loved him she loved that show she died in 2011 he’s going to have a lot of fans waiting for him when he gets to happen where he’s out probably right this minute as I’m speaking because he died yesterday I believe God bless him and his family I am sad.
I could listen to that "women in jeopardy " line for ever and ever. For some reason his passing has had me more in the feels than most celebrity passing. We will miss you Alex. If you didn't meet Sean in life you will meet him in death
The neighborhood isn’t the same without Mr. Rogers Wall Street week isn’t the same without Louis Rukeyser and Jeopardy will never ever be the same without Alex Trebek
I remember in 1984, for the revived version of Jeopardy, they hired Alex as the host because they show would have a long run and they felt that needed a young host like Alex. They got more than they bargained for.
Actually, at one point the real Alex was in an SNL Jeopardy skit, although Will Ferrel was still in it and Darrell Hammond was in it, but not the real Sean Connery
There's no other guessing games like it,with Alex Trebek on Jeopardy!"Rest In Peace Alex and thanks for inspiring for all us and everything what you have done us.We love you,will missed you.Thanks for creating a very unique game for us.1940-2020.❤
9:10 another game show legend.....Johnny Gilbert, who filled in for Bill Cullen on the original Price is Right, is 96! He and Alex had quite a rapport on Jeopardy! The game show world lost a big star to Heaven, but we have plenty of episodes!!! RIP Alex - you won Final Jeopardy!
[Alex Trebek arrives in heaven] Sean Connery[chuckling] :we meet again Trebek. Trebek: actually we've never officially met on earth. That was a parody of my show with actors playing both of us.
Rip Alex...as a fellow Alex...one of my nicknames growing up was your name...yes it was aggravating sometimes but I couldn’t be more honored now to share your name...ironically the year you started jeopardy is the year I was born🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
For the first two shows did in the States, it was one of the rare cases where an emcee would have a show cancelled on a Friday, and be back with a new one the following Monday. Only a few others have had that happen to them that come to mind. I can also think of Art James, Tom Kennedy, and of course, Bill Cullen.
Three game shows at a single time? That's impressive, but he wasn't the only one. The late Geoff Edwards hosted Chain Reaction, Jackpot!, and The Big Spin at the same time during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
I can't believe he is dead its hard to believe but also easy to believe at the same time which is all very sad I hope whoever replaces him is just as amazing as him he is amazing!
Rip Alex trebek-you was the best ever, 1940-2020 November 8-guys he isn’t dead he just got welcomed to another jeopardy! Hopefully he will be in our next life because my grandma and grandpa watched him in 2019 they died March 4 (grandpa) 2019 my grandma died January 24 2019 they all in paradise.everyone it’s gonna be okay we can watch all his tv and movies. Alex was the best show maker then anyone else,I used to watch it with my grandma and grandpa his wife misses him and his kids and his family. We can maybe go to his funeral or look it up to see his dead body,BUT SOME IS BAD. Because some isn’t Alex they do it for likes, and they made fun of his death everyone told them to stop and he was still laughing and I was crying. Stop bullying,and cancer.
And boy, has he made them even bigger. You know, I think I should make a prediction on who might succeed Alex as Jeopardy! host. My money's on Samantha Bee.

I agree. I was shocked to find out he was 80. I just want to look HALF that good when I am 80.

Watching this just breaks my heart because it just goes to show how sweet and caring this man really was God rest this man’s soul
Gonna miss him. He was of the kindest and wittiest men that ever lived.

When I got the news at my job while going on my break, I was so upset to hear that Alex passed. I almost cried buckets that day!
SOMEONE finally got him to say his name backwards and sent him back to the Fifth dimension , huh? 🙄
Playing jeopardy in heaven with Sean Connery
And Burt
I am really glad snl is uploading old jeopardy skits
@@unknownduck025 they are and they did
@@unknownduck025 NBC showed a couple tonight in its SNL Vintage episode on TV! They should had just shown all Jeopardy skits instead.

He died on the swing in the backyard of his house sitting next to his wife Jean just like he wanted to do its very very sad :(

We lost an icon but he’ll be remembered by everyone living now back to when Jeopardy started forever
Alex Trebek voiced himself in a Jeopardy-based Family Guy skit, but it was not the one shown here
The one where Adam West answers with Kebert Xela? Might have been in bad taste on the punchline of that skit
That is the most well-organized garage I've ever seen.
I know, it's lovely.
I’m 24, I grew up with Alex, watching the show after school, I cannot imagine who is going to fill his shoes.
The first Reading Rainbow guy is going to replace him
@@nicodanger LeVar Burton?

Who thought we'd ever lose Sean Connery AND Alex Trebek around the same time

Seems to me an odd thing to think about, unless you're both of their agent, or have some other relation to both of them.
Don't forget Van Halen

Alex Trebek, Earth is sending Love up! To all who Loved and lost him, your in our thoughts and prayers here in Philadelphia,Pa.
He was always so humble ❤️
He was hired the same month I was born. Got addicted young and watched for 30 years. Godspeed to you brother.

He passed away but Jeopardy is still showing him alive on current nightly shows.
It's the last batch he shot. His last new episode will be on Christmas of this year.
@@YourPalJamieEllis Was he able to finish?

His last episode is coming out on Christmas as a Christmas gift!
It was Alex's wish that his final episodes be aired.
They are taped.
FACT: He was halfway through his contract

One of my favorite game shows @ 1:39. May Alex #RIP. (July 22, 1940 - November 8, 2020).
I grew up with my grandparents watching his show Jeopardy when I was really young and he will be dearly missed. 😥
He’s so right about humor being a cure. Believe me, I use it in most everything I do to break tension and make people’s days.
The neighborhood isn’t the same without Mr. Rogers Wall Street week isn’t the same without Louis Rukeyser and Jeopardy will never ever be the same without Alex Trebek
Nature shows are not the same without Steve Irwin, and painting isn't the same without Bob Ross.
*I can't be the only one that thinks that cameraman that went on the roof with Trebek looks like Stephen King, am I?*
Oh my god i was thinking the same thing!!
Gonna miss him. He was of the kindest and wittiest men that ever lived.
I was thinking the same thing
He was a nice man. He was the Fred Rogers of game shows. He was compassionate, calm, and had an incredible presence. He’s dearly missed😭💔💔
One of the best damn moustaches of all time.
I remember in 1984, for the revived version of Jeopardy, they hired Alex as the host because they show would have a long run and they felt that needed a young host like Alex. They got more than they bargained for.
When I saw Alex and Michael laughing (Ninja Strahan) I felt a sense of calmness. ❤️
Indeed,both of these guys are class acts,love them both.R.I.P Alex Trebek your legacy lives on.❤❤☁️☀️🦋
3:39 Ow my heart...
I will never forget you Alex, thank you for everything! *sigh* Not unexpected but much more painful then I ever thought.
Jeopardy with trebek is my comfort zone.
sean connery and alex trebek will finally meet
"We meet again." 😈
Actually, at one point the real Alex was in an SNL Jeopardy skit, although Will Ferrel was still in it and Darrell Hammond was in it, but not the real Sean Connery

He looks like a Canadian Burt Reynolds
What a great man God bless RIP
Although he was dying it still feels weird knowing he’s gone
What a great guy. He knew he was getting an advance and knew of his prognosis and gave the advance to charity.

Alex Trebek did other game shows
Classic Concentration on NBC
To Tell the Truth also on NBC
Battlestars Double Dare Wheel of Fortune
He needs a movie,it would be great!
Alex Trebek was Jeopardy! as Pat Sajak was Wheel of Fortune
Alex greatly resembled actor Lee Horsley (aka "Matt Houston") in his younger "moustache" years.
Dang he had his kids when he was 53 and 56.
Crazy Sean Connery Dies Then Alex next. Their Spirits Were Integrally Intertwined.
I remember those David Letterman impressions Alex Trebek did for the “Stupid Answers” category.
