Well, he and Connery can do real afterlife versions of the Celebrity Jeopardy now.

Turd Furguson Burt Reynolds was waiting for them

This is so rough.

Now I am even more upset that the news preempted the previous 3 new shows.

So sad, a small piece of comforting permanence is gone.

I’ll take “Reasons 2020 can go get fukt” for 800, please...

Ya know, this one doesn't bother me. He lived a long life, he lived a good life. He knew he was dying and faced it with grace and poise. He worked until the end and left a legacy that few could match.

So while I will miss seeing him on the show, he did it right and I applaud him.

vaya con dios mr Trebek

i hope they get ryan stiles or colin mocherie to replace him as host thus another whose line player taking over a famous game show.

The inside rumor is Ken Jennings. I think he'd be a great fit. He knows the game, he's smart as hell, and he's charismatic. It would work very well.

2020 gonna 2020.

I'm sad, but in the same mindframe as Dave. He did thr best he could with crappy circumstances and left a legacy of dignity and positive cultural impact.

The reaction that shocked me was Li'l Z. Mr. Z announced the passing in the car and he just started crying. Jeopardy has been a nightly affair for us since he was an infant and he's always liked it when we plopped down together to watch. He knew Alex had cancer, but I guess he thought he'd get better. First he was worried the show would be cancelled, and then that they would let Donald Trump host(?????). I assured him neither would happen.

Damn. Hoped he'd be able to hold on for longer but he had already beat projections. Sad day.

They hired him to be some kind of producer on the show a few months ago. Pretty much everyone took that to mean they chose him as the replacement.

Didn't expect to post this so soon after the Sean Connery thread, but

Pancreatic cancer is a particularly nasty one. I hope he was not in too much discomfort towards the end. RIP.

my dad had hepatitic, similar amounts of FUCK, if I ever develop it just give me a loaded gun or an opiate OD, NO THANKS.

My favorite guest star on the X-Files. Rest in peace, Mr. Trebek.

That needs to be a better recording. I had to really turn it up to hear it.

My problem is, I am really fucking good at trivia. I always wanted to go on the show. Now I will never be able to play Jeopardy with Alex.

I damned near got to play Millionaire with Regis.

Edit: of course as soon as I typed this I broke out crying.

I cried a little when it was announced. Watching Jeopardy was a stable of my youth, so finding out he passed hurt more then most of the other deaths this year.

I will admit though, I did chuckle at the prophetic nature of that SNL skit. Connery says "If I am going down, Trebek, I am taking you with me." and here we are, the two dying so close to each other. Sometimes the universe just feels absurd.

Connery, Trebek, and Hornung. Not exactly the trio you'd expect, but here we are.
