A Tribute To Alex Trebek | JEOPARDY!

I was in that Radio City Hall audience!

Ive never had a clebrity death feel so personal. My heart goes out to his family. R.I.P Alex May you rest in peace, and so long partner.

watching this after watching "i want to eat your pancreas" is probably a terrible idea

Ok I’ll be right back I flooded my house with tears so once I’m done with cleaning this up I’ll cry more he was my childhood I’d watch him everyday before school started. We’ll miss ya Alex but we’ll always have you in memory and in our hearts.

Goodbye Alex, I’ve always wanted to see you in person, but I guess that will never happen. We’ll miss you.

Moments of silence For Alex Trebeck demise

My favorite momernt is him crying on Jeopardy! in November '19 because of a contestant's response

What episode was it at 0:03?

If Jeopardy hires Katie Couric or Mayim Bailik, I will no longer watch the show. They would make the focus be on them rather than the game and the contestants.

Rip

“The compliment you give a man who made every television viewer and contestant feel a little bit smarter, or dumber, for over thirty years.” “What is ‘Thank you Alex Trebek?’”

Great tribute to Alex Trebeck. I was fortunate to meet him once.

The ending with his fist in the air says so much. It got me.

My mother and I watched Jeopardy together and would fiercely compete against each other every night after supper when I was a teenager to see how many we could answer before the contestants. Great memories. She died many years ago. However, so long as Jeopardy was on the air with Alex I felt like part of that time still lived. RIP Alex...

I legit cried.

RIP Alex Trebek, you were a good man who will be remembered forever. With USmuchs, future generations can watch videos of you and think: "wow what an amazing man he was"

If there was a mount Rushmore for game show hosts, Alex Trebek would be on there along with Bob Barker, Gene Rayburn, and Pat Sajak

*"So long, everyone."* I literally felt that. 😭 May you rest in peace, Alex Trebek! 💛

Watching Jeopardy was and always will be my favorite thing to do daily with my family. It wasnt until I saw this tribute on tv that I realized how important and amazing Alex Trabek was. He had such a warm and inviting force about him that he felt like more than just a TV host. He'll be deeply missed.

Dance the dance of life

Goodbye, Alex Trebek!

The only game show host who came off like a witty professor.

"Once Before I Go" performed by Hugh Jackman, written by Peter Allen (Universal Music, 2003)

I'm very glad that his final taping message didn't go like this: Ladies and Gentlemen this is a difficult thing for me to say but today i am saying my final goodbye it has been an amazing journey but i must go thank you all , my time has come and I'll see you in the great beyond. That type of farewell message would be rough to hear since Alex has been the host of Jeopardy for such a long time.

I have this episode on the DVR because I didn't get to watch it when it aired. I emotionally can't bring myself to watch it.

Anyone cry like a baby and watch this a few times? The “so long” sequence at the end made me so sad yet so happy for him, he was a really nice sweet man that lived an incredible life💞

I cannot think of a more fulfilling tribute to Alex Trebek. Not only was Alex Trebek one of the most remarkable game show hosts, he was and will always be an American pioneer. My love and prayers to his family and close friends.

Alex was the greatest he was the goat of Jeopardy and he loved his contestants I have liked him since the very beginning it’s a really big loss for Jeopardy May you be miss Alex Trebek 💕😢

And Ken Jennings if you’re watchingYou are the greatest

Omg he was the most greatest host ever in history rip Alex Trebek we miss you😭

My dad loved him! My dad teared up while watching this.

Trebek is the only celebrity I've actually mourned, I've been watching this show since I was a young one with my dad probably 20 years

This is an awesome tribute to Alex Trebek right here. Now, I would like to say a few words or so in regards to my favorite game show host and such. To me, Alex Trebek was awesome and he did a wonderful job being the second host of Jeopardy after Art Fleming. Last week on January 8, 2021, I finally took the chance to watch Alex Trebek host his very final episode of Jeopardy before his unexpected death happened on November 8, 2020. He had taped his final Jeopardy episode on October 29, 2020 and it was the very last time that Alex Trebek was on the Jeopardy program. That final Jeopardy episode may have been a great show but it was very hard to watch among all of us Jeopardy fans. It was very emotional and heartfelt at the same time. Sadly, there will never be another one like him because Alex was very unique and special. Not only was Alex Trebek the host of Jeopardy but he also became a pop culture icon. He did not just host Jeopardy but he also hosted a number of other various game shows including High Rollers, The Wizard Of Odds, To Tell The Truth, Double Dare, Battlestars and Classic Concentration. He also guest hosted Wheel Of Fortune one time as well because Jeopardy and Wheel Of Fortune were sister shows in which they still are today. As a longtime Jeopardy fan myself, I am deeply saddened and hurt to say that there will never be any more brand new seasons or episodes of Jeopardy with Alex Trebek in it ever again because of his untimely death last year in 2020. However, the show must definitely go on as Alex Trebek himself had wanted that. This week, I have watched Ken Jennings host Jeopardy as the first interim guest host and he has proved that Jeopardy can be Jeopardy without Alex Trebek. There will also be a series of new interim guest hosts on Jeopardy before a permanent one is announced soon. Just like Ken Jennings had said that no one can replace the late great Alex Trebek but all of us can honor him by playing the game that he loved hosting for over 3 decades. Originally, Alex Trebek was contracted to host Jeopardy until 2022 but he passed away unfortunately before he could complete his contract. Otherwise, the final Jeopardy episode that Alex had hosted for the very last time was very hard to watch and it was very heartbreaking. This tribute video that is on here was a part of that final Jeopardy episode and it features a montage of Alex Trebek's career as a Jeopardy host over the years. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end as Alex Trebek's era of Jeopardy is over now. The only thing that makes me happy about all of this is that Alex Trebek had his fun as a Jeopardy host from 1984 to 2020 and he is in a better place now. Other than that, this is my tribute to Alex Trebek and the Jeopardy program. Alex, wherever you are right now, thank you for everything. We love and miss you every day as you will be dearly missed. So long, Alex. Goodbye and farewell to you. May you rest in peace.

Rest in peace Alex Trebek. RIP 1940-2020. Stay true toward as a game show legend.

THIS IS AMAZING! ❤

Ive never had a clebrity death feel so personal. My heart goes out to his family. R.I.P Alex May you rest in peace.

I feel bad for whomever replaces him, because they will always be compared to Alex and will never be as good as him to some people. Rest in peace Alex Trebek, a true legend

Damn it Goodnight 😘💤😴🌙 Alex

One of the greatest men of all, just a class act in every aspect of life. Rest in peace, Alex 😔😔😔

rockin that 80's 'stache like no other

Thank you Alex. May you be at peace.

So long, partner.

An interesting thing I found out today. Big Bang Theory's Mayim Bialik, who also played Blossom in the 1990's, is going to be a guest host on Jeopardy. She said that her name was once a clue, she has always been a fan of Jeopardy, and she is glad to have been asked to be a guest host. I don't know what everyone else thinks, but I think she would be a perfect permanent host of the show. What does everyone else think?

Thank you, Alex. You made it cool to be smart. You are going to be missed an awful, awful lot. And thank you, editor of this video.

Im gonna miss you pal😢

Beautifully said, for a beautiful human being.

Such a wonderful tribute! He may not have written the clues, but Alex certainly brought a new sense of charm and personality to a show that Merv Griffin was proud to bring to television in 1960s, though Alex did not host until the show returned in 1984. From that time to his death as host, 36 years is an amazing track record, and that's probably an understatement. Alex wasn't just the host of Jeopardy!, he was a television legend, a gentleman, a husband, a father, but overall a wonderful person. Without a shadow of the doubt, he will be missed.

Alex will forever be missed. :( R.I.P Alex. Thank you for everything.

Heartfelt thanks Alex for 37 years of memories, you've given several generations many hours of entertainment on America's favorite question and answer game. RIP!!!!!!!

So long Alex

The ending with his fist in the air says so much. It got me.

😥😥😥😥😥😥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What’s this song

Goodbye Alex Trebek. And Thank You For Everything.

Very funny Alex. R I p Alex.

What is the song used? So long, Alex.

The ending with his fist in the air says so much. It got me.

My grandparents and my dad are Italian immigrants, and, particularly my grandma and my dad, don't speak or understand English very well. But every night, we would watch Jeopardy together. You would think that a show whose sole purpose is to ask and stump contestants with difficult questions would stop a non-English speaking family from watching the show, but I honestly believe we watched it because of our fellow Canuck and gentleman, Alex Trebek. Every night that I watch it with my grandma now, she brings up how it is so sad that he is gone or how amazing it was that he said he was going to fight and continue hosting until the end. We love you and miss you Alex. My 86 year old Nonna too.

At least the show isn't over

I’ve watched this over and over and over again. Rest easy Alex, you made my childhood awesome. It was always my favorite time to wake up from my nap and watch a little bit of jeopardy. Thank you

A real loss. He was Jeopardy! Alex Trebek was fun and classy together.

I watch jeopardy Since 2018

Ive never had a clebrity death feel so personal. My heart goes out to his family. R.I.P Alex May you rest in peace.

GOD BLESS YOU SIR...

a good good man, a very warm soul

I loved his sometimes awkward conversations with the guests, and his classic response of “good for you“. He was the best!

❤️

Wow.

I picture him up in the clouds having a martini (shaken, not stirred) with Sean Connery as they finally squash their beef.

So long Alex

A true Icon!

*dont cry dont cry dont cry*

Alex Trebek will forever be remembered. Legends never die! As soon as you announced that you had pancreatic cancer, I prayed, prayed and prayed for you to bounce back, stronger than ever. We all miss you Alex, thank you so much for everything!

Who in the world went through 36 years of footage to put together this compilation? Holy cow. How do you even find them? Are there notes on early master reels saying “Alex Trebek was funny on this episode?” How do you even begin to gather this compilation? I am begging you to respond Jeopardy! This is SERIOUSLY racking my brain.

So sad.....

So long!

So long, Mr. Trebek.... you were an inspiration to many, a cultural icon, loved by many, and fondly remembered in death. We miss you already, more than you’ll ever know, good sir. May the perpetual light shine upon you and may you Rest In Peace.

Alex Trebek and Bob Barker were 2 of the greats

so long Alex! Thank you for all the great memories! Rest in peace! wqe will miss you

So long, friend. And thank you.

So long, Alex.
