Someday soon it’s gonna be one day.Has anybody here seen my old friend Alex,Can you tell me where he’s gone?I thought I saw him walkin’ up over the hillWith Abraham, Martin and John.
I hope they stick with someone who has some class. Grinning like an idiot, wisecracking that isn’t funny, and insulting contestants- who are required to find the insult hilarious, is the usual run of trivia show MCs now. I’d have to give up on the trivia I love entirely if it wasn’t for the fast forward button.
I’m sorry Alex Trebek is dead. I really am. No one should have pancreatic cancer and I hope he didn’t suffer. But I didn’t like him. I thought he was a patronizing snob, always correcting people’s French accents and translating French phrases like nobody ever took French in school. And he wasn’t always kind to contestants. There, I said it. Godspeed, Alex. Try not to correct God.

Impressive, given that the lead time on these strips is usually a month or two. Did Jimmy have this one in the can ready to go?

First encounter with Alex Trebek was Reach For The Top in Toronto in the mid 60s. He done good for a philosophy major.

There will never be another Alex Trebek. He was one of a kind. I am betting Ken Jennings takes over for him.

Sorry, but there’s no one who can replace him. Like, the Price is Right and Family Feud. They’re not the same without the original host.

I am very heartbroken that he has passed. My love of trivia came from watching that program for many years.
