Pretty sad now remember that Trebek was also the host of "Classic Concentration" when I was growing up. It was basically trying to unravel a puzzle of pictures.
He was best known for Jeopardy but also did that show too.
CBS Has announced that Jeopardy will resume production on November 30th with Ken Jennings as the first ever interim host. They also plan to have a variety of other guest hosts for the foreseeable future. Guest hosts will be announced in the coming weeks. Full link below.

I hope they give the other hosts a real shot at the job and aren't just going through the motions after already making a decision to give it to Ken. I do not like Jennings in that role at all. Aside from having a grating personality I also found his cadence in reading the questions very strange and distracting at times.
Makes sense for him to be the first guest host but definitely don’t want Ken to be the full time replacement. I’ve never found him likeable and he has no charm whatsoever.
Smith won US$117,798 on the program, with his final appearance taking place in Alex Trebek's final week on the air. The shows were recorded in October and Trebek died of pancreatic cancer Nov. 8.
