Tribute to Alex Trebek

[Mage he/him]

I would just like to take a moment to remember the greatest game show host of all time: Alex Trebek. Jeopardy was my childhood. I learned so much random--but good--stuff on that show. It was a fun activity that I would do with my family, and brought us closer together. So I'd like to thank Mr. Trebek for that. Rest in peace Alex.

We'll miss you, Alex. I remember playing Jeopardy in school. It'll never be the same again.

Alex Trebek you defined my childhood in ways that few else have. You made learning a treat. To you I owe a debt that cannot ever be payed back. You were truly a class act of the highest order. My mother and I spent so many nights learning from you the most interesting things. Your impact on generations is almost without compare.  In your absence the world knows a void that was not there before. You truly were one for the ages. We will miss you Alex. Know that you have left a legacy behind that will long be remembered.

@Mage - Thanks for making this thread. IMO Alex Trebek was irreplaceable; the world has lost a unique cultural icon.

I also today just checked out his autobiography from the library. My hold coincidentally came available on Saturday. It is really good, and I recommend it, though I will warn that there is some language. I got a copy of the audiobook, and the readers are Alex himself and Ken Jennings. It is really cool to know his story, along with the Alex we knew from TV.

Wow. I think everyone was surprised by this. Jeopardy was amazing, and it will never be the same without you. I can’t believe how many amazing people have recently died because of cancer. It’s crazy. Rest In Piece, Alex.
