WATCH: Jeopardy! Releases Beautiful Tribute Video for Alex Trebek Ahead of Final Episode

“Simply the best. Thank you, Alex.”

How fast a lifetime passes. Relive the extraordinary four-decade hosting career of Alex Trebek in this touching tribute from “America’s Gameshow,” Jeopardy!.

An era ended with the passing of Alex Trebek. The beloved Jeopardy! host led “America’s Gameshow” for half his entire lifetime: from 1984 all the way up to just months ago in 2020. That same year, Trebek would announce he was battling pancreatic cancer. While initially optimistic, he tragically lost his battle with the disease at age 80 on November 8, 2020.

“I’m not afraid of dying,” Trebek told CTV News prior to his passing. “I’ve lived a good life, a full life, and I’m nearing the end of that life … if it happens, why should I be afraid of that? One thing they’re not going to say at my funeral, as a part of a eulogy, is ‘He was taken from us too soon.’”

Today, Jeopardy! is sharing their brilliantly poignant tribute to the life and work of Alex Trebek while hosting the show. Prepare the tissues – if you didn’t feel the hole in your heat before – you will now.

The sheer goodness that was – and always will be – Alex Trebek is on full display here, as the host dances, laughs, sings, and smiles his way through thirty-six years of game show history.

Simply the best, indeed. Thank you from us here at Outsider, too, for all you’ve given us.
