I've been extremely choked up the last couple of days about this one. 2020 has dealt us some tough hands, this one hits home for me. Jeopardy was a huge part of my childhood, makes me think of the great times I had with my grandmother, who adored Alex and the show. Even though we knew that he wasn't going to conquer this horrible disease, I still didn't think it was time to lose him. Thanks for the bond you helped me build Alex, I'll never forget it.

The best thing they can do to honor Alex’s memory is continue the show. If they cancelled it after he put so much hard work into it, even while fighting pain and fatigue from terminal illness, all of that would be for nothing. Alex believed in ”Jeopardy!” more than anyone. They owe it to him to keep it on the air, so I’m glad they’re planning to. No one can replace him. Everyone knows that. But that doesn’t mean someone can’t come along and do an amazing job as well, even becoming an icon in their own right. Alex himself wasn’t the first host of “Jeopardy!”, so that should tell you something right there.

Absolutely right. You can’t really replace a host because they have already made their mark in television history. However, you can select the right person to carry the torch from where Alex had to leave off. 🔦

That is why Drew Carey and Steve Harvey have worked so well as the hosts for The Price is Right and Family Fued. They were allowed to be themselves and tread their own paths while still keeping with the overall traditions of the two shows. Allow the next host a chance to become one of the many greats hosts in the possible Jeopardy show legacy.

@@Lunzatis_Palemoon the same will eventually happen with Wheel of Fortune. People would say that Pat Sajak could never fill Chuck Woolery's shoes (same with Vanna White with Susan Stafford) and both have been doing WoF (both network and syndication) for almost as long as Alex Trebek has hosted Jeopardy; himself having to fill big shoes himself (being Art Fleming's). The biggest mistake would be replacing Trebek with a host that wouldn't fit in, like the late Bill Cullen taking over as host of The Joker's Wild after Jack Barry's death in 1984.

Although I live in the UK, I’ve been to the US & Canada many times, and I always ALWAYS tuned into Jeopardy. There was a version of Jeopardy made in the UK in the early 90’s, but it paled in comparison to Jeopardy in the US, mainly because of Alex. Such a lovely, down to earth, dry and kind gentleman was Alex. I definitely wept a few tears when I heard of his original cancer diagnosis (when he mentioned it was stage IV that had me worry - it wasn’t long after my own dad’s passing from cancer), and despite the brave and amazing fight, his passing has had me in tears again. I know Alex wouldn’t want it, but I think it would be fitting if they named the studio after him. If it was mentioned at the beginning of the show it would ensure that his legendary name would continue to be mentioned on a nightly basis. We miss you Alex!

Everyone is talking about Ken Jennings becoming the host but since he’s been on master minds, his arrogance has shot through the roof! He may be knowledgeable yes, but he DOES NOT carry the sophistication, elegance, charm or humility Alex did to be host of Jeopardy. I believe it’s possible to find someone who can embody both the intelligent and charming, sophisticated side of Alex. Alex’s persona cannot simply be replaced with a know it all who likes to show off. The show wouldn’t last! This is all in my opinion of course. 🤷
