God this is so heart breaking. Loved him. Jeopardy will never be the same. 

We'll miss you, Alex.

Almost surely won’t happen, but I’d be fine if they just ended the show.

My heart is broken 💔. He was part of our family life and in our living room every night from the time I was a young child. 
 

Rest In Peace 🙏

My money is on Neil DeGrasse Tyson to replace him. 

I just don't see anyone else who can come close to Trebek.

It seemed like they were grooming Ken Jennings which I would honestly hate. I don’t know how you can replace such an icon though and make everyone happy.

The night before our first date, the restaurant I took you to was one of the questions.

 

 

This restaurant is home to a $100 cheesesteak

He taped 31 new shows which the last was just 2 weeks before he passed.  I will watch these.  Ken Jennings is narrating a category and I hate it.  Clues too long. Give a clue not a paragraph!

With the way we watch Tv now I agree with just stopping it.  No one will ever match that voice.  Will miss yelling answers from the kitchen!   
 

Mr. Di liked Wheel of Fortune too and I didn’t but we compromised and called it the fastest hour on television.  All good things come to an end.  
 

RIP

It's the one show you hope they continue. You want people to always learn and this is definitely a platform for it.

I definitely don’t want the show to end. Alex is iconic and his style won’t be able to be replicated so in that sense - yes all good things must come to an end. But the format and content of the show is still fantastic and has many devoted fans.. they shouldn’t end it and it’s very unlikely that they do. You won’t be able to please everyone with the new host but people will adapt to it after awhile.

Make Jaleel White the new host.  Dude isn't doing anything these days.
