An encounter with Alex Trebek

[@VoIcanoman]

This is a tremendous video, and I'm glad your dad got backed up by the man himself. RIP Alex Trebek. He is already missed.

[@EWembley501]

I like how Epoustouflante! keeps thanking him and is not pushing the encounter but Alex keeps it going by adding more and more details.

[@leof8887]

I think he thought the whole world was Jeopardy lmao

Saint Alex Trebek

hello jesus

[@bjorn5209]

Man he had such class.

[@allahm-ast3mnlywlatstbdlny164]

Mashallah tbark Allah

[@Mattfreeman89]

Agreed. I don't give a fuck about his show, never watched it myself, but came here from a thread online to see this little moment of humanity. From no opinion and indifference to a sad man I go. In this brief window into the life of an absolute stranger, I can see why he is cherished and missed without needing a single episode of his show to understand it.

[@spins321]

@@Mattfreeman89 the show is not bad. It's essentially just a trivia show that can kinda help test your memory or maybe learn a little something new. Not a big watcher myself, but when I did it was always interesting.

[@leptitjaune]

It’s amazing how he reminders it all, and so fondly to top it off. Thanks for sharing!

[@xxasifxx]

Times of his youth, those memories get only so faded.

[@ScumbagSteve]

[@MartinTedder]

I don't know Alex Trebek, but what a nice guy he seems to be. Incredible that he remembers to many names and relationships between them; it shows he really cares about the people he talks about, as well as the complete stranger who brings it up. Makes me happy...

[@mariarohmer2374]

You my friend were just as funny & quick as Alex. The two of you worked well together. Real fun, thanks for sharing.😂

[@alec6583]

You're so funny, even when you're all giddy! That could not have gone better.

[@ohtoseemusic]

Wow! This is so wonderful to see! I'd often think at the end of Jeopardy shows, "How can he have something to talk about with everyone at the end of every show?" Now I see; He was as authentic as they come & had a gift to engage people through genuine human kindness! Love this video!

[@SaraDemler]

Aww thanks for sharing this sweet and funny moment. Quite the story to pass along in the family ❤️

[@eckesg2]

I love the fact that when he said that name: A: the gasp in your voice when it hit you B: He’s just standing there leaning like “Oh Yes I did”

[@jasonl.5097]

[@RYU583]

I can barely remember my own life...let alone all that. Alex was an incredible individual. Was an honor to watch him

[@moseslrsmith2625]

You will once you get older. The more life you live, the more you reflect on it. When I was in my 20s, life was moving fast and no time to look back. Now that I will be 36 soon, reflection is a thing.

[@peoplez129]

I'm not sure how you forget about a girl you dated and a place you once lived.

[@alisharo58]

Thank you so much for the transcript, I really appreciate. God bless Alex.

[@jontueespiritu1185]

Thanks for sharing this gem! You were great btw! "Boiled chicken!" was hilarious! Watching Jeopardy and competing against my husband was a thing in our household... we miss Alex.

[@Epoustouflanteful]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it - jeopardy was a constant presence in my home growing up as well, and i still watch every night :)

[@moimeme6533]

what a moment with one of the all-time great hosts! bravo!

[@computerproatx]

Thanks for the video. What a wonderful man!

HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS UNTIL NOW?! THIS IS PURE GOLD!!!

The only missing piece from this great story is the pic of people who got involved in all this, including the lady who recorded it. This is a good memory and fun story!

[@aramb]

That is the best story I've ever heard! Loved watching this post.

[@silvertodd84]

[@Kirstenkirstenful]

This is a great video (and I love your "goofy" voice - it's a perfect touch to the dialogue!) :)

[@hwfiii]

To the 17 people who have disliked this video, "What in the hell is wrong with you?"

I’ll take “people who are definitely horrible people” for 100 Alex

[@zaphenath6756]

i wonder if there will ever be a single popular video on youtube that has zero dislikes

[@joshsteinhouser4947]

We live in a screwed up world when people can actually dislike something like this. They should just be executed on the spot.

[@kindanyume]

the man was a true class act and sharp as a tack til the end

[@tonychan8558]

"And I dated her daughter Norma Clayman". It was at this point, he KNEW he was the man !!! You can't teach class like that!

[@andreagonzalez929]

Love this man so much. Truly miss him.

[@tedz2usa]

How does this not have 5 million views?! This is awesome!!

After that I think she owes her dad more than _a_ beer.

[@dannycomellas]

He said "...and I dated their daughter, Norma," with such a casanova air. Love it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Elegant_Sausage]

What a great video, thank you for sharing! You and I sound very similar, so I guess I have a goofy voice as well! Take care.

[@Epoustouflanteful]

I'm sure your voice is lilting and lovely :)

[@NomisGnos]

What were your dad's and the people who thought he was lying reaction?

[@Epoustouflanteful]

Utter surprise and shock from my dad- he watched the video over and over again, amazed that he remembered so much from 50 years ago!

[@p.w.5199]

[@summerloveleigh]

Reddit brought me here...and I'm not mad about it

[@boomroasted4]

[@johnrod007]

So Humble to admit he lived with someone else in a basement, many people would have been embarrassed to admit and sidetrack an answer. He handled it extremely well with Class

[@junbh2]

Why would anyone be embarassed by that? That he had a cheap apartment when he was young? That's super normal.
