Alex Trebek

[cradleandshoot]

One of my favorite people in the world of entertainment. I am heartbroken for his family but I am so impressed with his optimism. If anybody can beat this Alex you can do it. Classy people such as Mr Trebek are few and far between anymore. We still need him around.

Funny story. When I was younger and Jeopardy was in the first few years of tv, just at the onset of cable tv, Baltimore would air Jeopardy at 7pm, the local DC affiliate at 730pm. My parents loved the show, so I would watch the show in my room at 7 pm, then when it was over sit with my parents at 730 and answer all the questions during the 730 show.

It lasted a few weeks until I could no longer keep the laughing under control. They thought I was some type of prodigy

I still watch the show quite regularly.

same. it was on channel 55 (local, fuzzy reception) at 630 and then an hour later for real. as long as you could retain the info for an hour and a half, you were good.

but to really sell it- you had to get a few wrong here and there.

Always loved Jeopardy and still watch it semi regularly. Alex is about as pleasant as one can’t get as a host. Crushing to here the news. Interesting that his predecessor Art Fleming died of pancreatic cancer a few days before his 71st birthday.
