RIP Alex Trebek
A sad day, in a year that has already been tough. Setting aside the news for a half hour everyday was a break I really needed. RIP Alex Nov 08 20 11:05 am Link Alex handled his illness with grace and dignity. I never heard him curse a single time, either on the air or when being quoted off air. I have no idea what his political leanings were. More television hosts/celebrities should mimic his example. Nov 08 20 01:40 pm Link Truly a gentleman, I never heard of anyone that didn't like him. He will be sadly missed, a tradition in the TV realm. Nov 08 20 01:56 pm Link A class act, from start to finish. I actually named my son after Alex Trebek. I really admired him. Nov 08 20 02:54 pm Link Damn...I thought he was doing better! RIP Nov 08 20 03:03 pm Link . Nov 08 20 03:14 pm Link This was a reminder of the passage of time. I still remember being in Jr High and watching the Jeopardy tv program at night. It was the very beginnings. An amazing long career. I knew of the news in 2019 it was a dire diagnosis. I was surprise he made it to now.. At the place I work at a manager died in just a couple of months from a similar diagnosis. Sad and scary to think. Its good to make the best of times. Especially with the family. RIP. Nov 08 20 04:01 pm Link My only real "must see" TV . . . I'm assuming Ken Jennings will try and fill Alex's shoes, a very large task indeed . . .
