Fans are mourning the loss of one of thee greatest game show hosts in the history of television. Alex Trebek lost his battle with pancreatic cancer over the weekend, dying at the age of 80. He was so courageous and gave inspiration to others battling cancer. For millions around the world, Trebek was more than just some TV host. He was a friend, and in some cases, the only friend many had. Shut-ins who would often go weeks without seeing a person, looked forward to Trebek’s personality and sense of humor. His last day of shooting the popular game show was October 29th. His final episode will air on Christmas Day. The show is, quote, “not announcing plans for a new host at this time.” Not surprising, an I’m hopeful that they give another up and coming talent the chance to take the reins, as they did with Alex back in the early 80’s. Let’s look back now and enjoy Trebek’s unique, dry sense of humor and other moments we won’t forget.
