Whoooaaa

 

[Tuggy]

Damn...what a legend.

RIP

 

[Burnoutboi]

I really admired how he kept working while battling a cruel disease. Rest well, AT.

 

[Lehnerd Skinnerd]

Damn, we all knew it was coming but this still hurts. He fought like a champ. Can’t believe he was still filming Jeopardy up until pretty recently. R.I.P. Alex, you’ll be missed.

Wonder if they have someone lined up to take over. Hard to imagine anyone filling those shoes.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

RIP. true legend.

 

[HanSolo]

The strongest memory I have with my grandparents is having them sit me down to watch Jeopardy just about every day and they started doing so as early as I can really remember. Trebek was a staple in my relationship with them and of my childhood. Rest in peace.

I'll take favourite TV hosts for $200.
The answer is 'Who was Alex Trebek?'

The man was a legend! He will be sorely missed.

Alex Trebek, host of ‘Jeopardy!’ dies after battle with pancreatic cancer

I realize this isn't a "Hockey Hockey" type subject, but he did just do the Ottawa Senators draft pick announcement and is pretty much a TV icon (at least in NA).

He did NOT look like he was in stage 4 Pancreatic cancer.

Anyway. R.I.P Alex. Thank you for taking the time for a little hockey.

RIP, one of my heroes - will be eating Ukranian food tonight in tribute

This is heartbreaking. He is a legend, and fighting and working until the very end is nothing short of amazing. He was Jeopardy for the most part, but this year I've been watching Classic Concentration on Buzzr a lot and he was so good on that show. He really rooted for the contestants and I just loved the banter he had with them each episode.

RIP Alex, and thanks for the memories.

I am amazed that Johnny Gilbert is still alive. He must be getting up there in age as well.

RIP Alex, a true legend.

This year gets worse by the day

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Every interview I’ve seen of him after his diagnosis you would never tell what he was going through. Heck even look at him during the sens pick announcement. May he rip, a canadian icon.

 

[BlueKnight]

Truely heartbreaking. I've been watching Jeopardy as long as i can remember. RIP Alex. Jeopardy won't be the same without you.

 

[ForsbergMoDo21]

At least he edged out his arch nemesis in Sean Connery.

But really, that sucks a lot. He was classy, sincere, funny, charitable, and professional. Can’t even discuss who’ll fill his shoes because nobody can. Like many others, he was a staple of my family and one of few things we’d gather and watch regularly—even to this day when I go back home.

Also he’s a legend just for the story about chasing a burglar out of his hotel while in his 70s.

 

[Hockeyholic]

RIP.

A Canadian icon. An institution in that country. A true hero.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Earned his bones in Canada hosting some bad shows

 

[Talonted]

The pen is mightier.
