As a sad departure from the current political discussions, and in continuance of this dumpster fire of a year, Alex Trebek has reportedly passed away at age 80, presumably due to his ongoing fight with cancer. I don’t know the man’s politics and I don’t care; Jeopardy! was my favorite game show from youth to adulthood, and one of my favorite shows all-around. No other show, or host, made me want to run off to the library or use the Google more.
And yes, SNL’s Celebrity Jeopardy is one of the few skits I can stand.
RIP, Alex Trebek. Jeopardy is also my favorite game show, it’s the only one I’ve ever chosen to watch. I always wanted to play. I hope the show goes on, but it won’t be the same without Alex Trebek.
A loss of a national treasure, a man who for a half-hour every night brought a little oasis of stability in a darkening and ever more turbulent world through almost my entire life.
Which one of you assholes asked how 2020 could get any worse?!
He reminds me of every teenager’s uncool dad trying to impress his kids’ friends. Do I think he’d be the best replacement? No, he doesn’t have a game show host persona really. But with the name recognition, he’d at least keep the show going.
