      Yeah they had little Jeopardy games in school because everyone didn’t necessarily watch the show but probably seen it once and understood the general concept. My grandma likes watching it cuz she learns a lot from it and because she is someone I visit often, it’s not uncommon that I’ll sit in the couch and catch a few subjects that I might wanna listen too

    Alex Trebek was a legend. So wholesome and kind as a host, with just enough sass to make us laugh. It was a kick in the gut when I saw his announcement about his cancer, and hearing about his decline and eventual passing was heartbreaking. And seeing you react to all this just made my day :)

      Alex lost his battle; but, he had a very fierce, vicious, & cunning opponent. I deeply respect how Alex was open & honest about his pancreatic cancer, which he fought for as long as he possibly could. In making his cancer battle public, Alex's fame made his face/persona a 'relatable' opponent against pancreatic cancer; and his bravery also gave hope to countless others faced with this devastating diagnosis.

    We used to play “Jeopardy” in nursing school to get ready for exams. Well, at the very end of review sessions. It was one of the very few relaxing, fun times of nursing school! 😂 And yes, it’s generally a thing that to make it onto Jeopardy, you need to possess above-average intelligence. Or at least know a little bit about a wide variety of subjects, and be quick with the buzzer!

He seemed like such a kind soul. I always loved seeing the fostered animals, I actually wrote an essay about him in high-school lol
      Also.... Steve Irwin.... He was so cool. I'm so glad that his kids are still so involved to this day (also loved Bindi the jungle girl as a kid)

    Ladies, thank you so much for paying such kind respect to our beloved Alex Trebek. He was a wonderful, brilliant, talented, humble man, full of humor and humility. He was a Television legend for nearly 50 amazing years. He was so loved, here in the US and in his home country of Canada. No matter how famous he was, he was grounded and down to earth. Every day he was announced on Jeopardy! you'll note that they introduced him as "the host", not the "star". He insisted on this. He was adamant that the players, not he, was the star of the show. He had numerous shows over the years, but Jeopardy! became his real home in the industry. Being the host of Jeopardy! is a full time job, almost a lifestyle in and of itself, but Alex always made sure he had time for his family. He was an incredible father and did DIY house projects with both his son and daughter on a regular basis. He was one of a kind, truly without equal, and he is missed every day. ♥We love you Alex. Rest in Peace.

    Yep, i am one of the kids who grew up on jeopardy! As you were watching i was answering the questions with lethal precision! Oh man, many fond memories. It was one of few shows the family wouldn’t argue about watching on our 1 tv. The favourites were jeopardy, wheel of fortune, bumper stumpers, (you should try a reaction to bumper stumpers it was wicked and would definitely challenge your english skills to the max). Oh price is right was another huge favourite. If your looking for a comedy variety show to react to, the oldy’s we loved as kids were the Carol Burnette show, Hee Haw, and a modern day comedy variety show that’ll split your ribs laughing so hard is Whose line is it hosted by Drew Carey. Alex Trebek was iconic, and as a fellow Canadian it was cool seeing him on tv knowing he was Canadian.

      It was amazing! I got really lucky to figure out the buzzer timing, it is so much harder than it looks especially since you are going against two other incredibly smart people. Folks who get long streaks are just legends, I know firsthand how that goes.
      And Alex was just something else.

    You will forever hear the Jeopardy song, it's so catchy it will just pop into your mind. Waiting in line= Jeopardy song. Thinking for a while= Jeopardy song. I haven't watched Jeopardy for years prior to this video and the Jeopardy song always come to mind. I'm a 95' er and use to watch it when I was younger but I hadn't for actually 10 years, and the Jeopardy song never fails XD

    Jeopardy is so iconic. In America, if you ask someone a question and they take a long time to answer, or if you're waiting for someone to do something and they're taking their sweet time, you can bet someone will start passive aggressively humming the theme song. We also might react to certain situations like we're choosing an answer from the board. For instance, your friend says something stupid? "I'll take Bullshit for 500, Alex."

    The people who go on Jeopardy and do well really do study for a lot for it. My former coworker (we work at the library - I think a lot of librarians make it on the show!) was on Jeopardy a few years ago. I remember he prepared for months before trying out, and studied again for months until he went to film it. We would help him study. He did well enough to buy a house, which I thought was so cool. It was funny because after he filmed it he came back to work and wasn't allowed to tell us how well he did until the show aired.

    I grew up watching Alex Trebek. When he announced his cancer, I cried. When I watched him continue to host through treatment being so strong despite knowing how sick he was off camera, I wept. And when I heard the news that he had passed, I bawled. The world lost one incredible man. So respected, so loved. Only comparable to Mr. Rogers in my opinion. You should check him out if you haven’t already. Bring tissues if you do. 💜

    Jeopardy is still on the air, but after a series of guest hosts for several months, there are two people presently sharing the hosting duties. As of today, November 1, 2021, former "Big Bang Theory" actress Mayim Bialik has been hosting for a few months. Fairly soon, all-time "Jeopardy" champion Ken Jennings, who was the first guest host, will take over for a few months to finish the present 2021-2022 season for the show.
    I still miss Alex though. He had hosted a few other game shows prior to this, but it was by far his longest running hosting gig. He even held the Guinness World Record for the longest run of a game show with one presenter.

    As someone who grew up with Alex hosting Jeopardy, and has worked with patients who had pancreatic cancer, I was so devastated when he announced his diagnosis. But I was also grateful he told us himself, and kept his treatment and how he did things as much on his terms as possible. The show is still great, but so different without him.

    The idea for Jeopardy was presented by Julann, Merv Griffin's wife. This was around the time of the big quiz show scandal in the '50s in which cheating scandals were found. To prevent any further cheating, all game shows were terminated from television. Julann suggested to Merv, "why don't you give them the answers and have contestants come up with the questions?" For example, 5,280: How many feet are in a mile? The show was originally called "What's the Question?" Executives went to Merv and said, "this show doesn't have enough jeopardies." And thus, the show was then called Jeopardy.

    I was on Jeopardy on 26 November 2020. Got to meet Alex (filming took place ~3 months prior to air), got a copy of his memoirs (as did everyone else who competed that day), and came in third, but I was up against people who were just quicker on the buzzer.
    You don't have to study for years, per se, but you have to know a little about a lot to do well. Sometimes the categories work in your favor, and other times, they are a horrible selection.

She'd always say "oh, but I dont know much about math or science," but she always seemed to know them anyway. 🙄 She just sucks up information! When we were older, my sisters and I made jeopardy our drinking game. I'm 39, spent my whole life watching Jeopardy. Losing Alex Trebek was heartbreaking. The man is a national treasure.

    I loved watching Jeopardy and listening to Alex Trebek. Another favorite show, The Price is Right, had Bob Barker as a long time host. Bob Barker would always ask viewers to spay and neuter their pets at the end of the show. Bob Barker was known as an animal lover and used his platform to avoid overcrowding in animal shelters.

    Trebek was a master in his discipline. Not in hosting or in trivia, but rather that he was someone who not only dared to continue to be educated as the world around him became catered more and more to the opposite, but also encouraged his viewers to join him as he did so. 이 훌륭한 사람을 키워주셔서 감사합니다잉~
