That sucks....Was really hoping he'd beat the odds, but in many ways he did. As an 80 year old guy with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, the deck was heavily stacked against him and he still made it almost 2 years. RIP Alex.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

A date has been set for Alex Trebek’s final episode as Jeopardy! host.
Trebek, who has hosted the beloved ABC game show since its debut in 1984, died on Sunday, over a year after he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer.
New episodes featuring Trebek will continue to air through Dec. 25, Sony Pictures Television has announced. His final day in the studio was Oct. 29 — just 10 days before his death.
After going on hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic earlier this year, production resumed over the summer. The ABC game show returned for its 37th season in September, with Trebek as host.
Additional plans about the future of the show have yet to be announced.

The longtime host’s death was confirmed by the show on Sunday.
“Jeopardy! is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning, surrounded by family and friends,” the show tweeted. “Thank you, Alex.”Air Force Veteran 1976 - 1999

I saw the guy in person one time back in the early 90's when the Mall of America first opened up. He was filming a commercial. I was like 13 at the time and walked right by him.Epic Beard Man crew

Just ordered his memoir as a Christmas gift for my Son.
My Son's Social Studies Teacher/Soccer Coach was a Jeopardy champion and my Son was the captain of his "Masterminds" team, was on TV, kind of a Jeopardy show for HS kids.
Also in Vegas they are taking odds for Alex's replacement and Ken Jennings is at 2 to 1. I think that's a pretty safe bet to double your money....Bro with mattbro95

“Jeopardy!” says champion contestant Ken Jennings will be the first guest host for the late Alex Trebek, and the show will try other interim hosts before naming a permanent replacement.

His voice is starting to sound a little rough, I suspect it's just going to keep getting rougher

RIP.
He seemed like a very good man.
Probably hosted the best game show of all time. Both entertaining and educational.
Wonder who will replace him?"it takes a wise man to know when he is in error and a noble man to admit to it"
