Alex Trebek’s Final Episode Of ‘Jeopardy!’ Ends With Touching Tribute | TODAY
Alex Trebek to me is like that one college professor you had who made an impact in your life, who pushed you try harder, who made you want to sit in the front row, who made class fun. You've already passed his class, yet now you've re taken his class every semester just for the humble feeling. And now class is finally over. This mini tribute is great but breaks my heart.
wow...what a lovely comment! We all feel the same "Other Car".
So very well said.. I agree totally!
You are exactly right, I loved watching Jeopardy ,it’s never going to be the same again without him Thank you for your very kind and respectful words. May Alex Trebizond Rest In Peace.🙏❤️
Trebek I meant to write.
@Garrett Rowbotham nobody cares
I used to watch Jeopardy with my 97 year old neighbor, Tillie. She loved Alex Trebek, and so did I. She passed away on December 15, 2020. I know she greeted him in heaven when he arrived. He will be missed!
Sorry to hear that.
Heaven doesn't exist.
@@generalhams you’ve died?

Watching the first reporter hold back tears really got me
I dropped out of college in 1982. I had to start looking for a job to pay back my GSL's and I started working first shift in a hospital from 6:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. I would get home from work just in time to watch Jeopardy. I remember when Alex Trebek first started hosting the show. He was funny, witty, thoughtful, smart and above all else--he was kind. It was like he was made to host that show. I watched Jeopardy with my husband's grandmother (who was sharp up until she died at 93) and my mother until the day she passed away. I had such wonderful times and made wonderful memories watching Jeopardy with my Grandma and mother. Alex Trebek made those times extra special. Rest in Peace. Answer: What is "In the Arms of the Angels"?
Mom and I watched jeopardy and she got the answers right,I miss her.
Sorry
Ya she was a great lady.
0:01 “Here is the host of Jeopardy, Alex Trebek!” Thank You A.T. You will be missed but your style, class, and kindness will live on!
What an amazing person. What a role model. You will be missed, beyond what words can ever convey.
Alex Trebek sold Colonial Penn insurance. He consciously helped rip off senior citizens.
A very gracious man, everyone love. ❤ And outstanding Canadian 🇨🇦
Clue: A great man Answer: Who is Alex Trebek?
Going to miss Alex Trebek so much! R.I.P. Mr. Trebek
A class act to the end. You will be missed Alex.
R.I.P. Alex Trebek (1940-2020)
I never met him in person.. Yet he was the most invitef person in my living room every night plus I play online and through Alexa several times a week.. We were the best of friends.. He taught me so much.. Thank you Alex. You will be greatly missed. Rest in peace dear friend. Rest in peace.......
I will miss Alex Trebek every time i watch Jeopardy. Im happy I have Pluto tv where i can watch old episodes still. I grew up in the 80's and 90's watching him every night with my mom and dad.
I remember him as a young man. I can't believe he's gone. May he rest in peace.
Loved watching Jeopardy since my early teens and with Alex gone it wont be the same. Rest in peace Mr. Trebek
I’m only 34 & I am a Jeopardy head. I didn’t like the show as a child because I could never get any questions right. He hosted this show for longer than I have been alive it it became my favorite show. It was the only show that I looked forward to like clock work. I will really miss him.
I'm crying now! AGAIN!!! REST IN PEACE, ALEX💔❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏
Alex Trebek, your the best and unforgettable human being..you will be missed Forever, ♥️🙏🙏🙏
Rest In Peace Alex Trebek he was such a great guy he will be missed.
My mom and I watched Jeopardy every day. We both have the greatest respect and admiration for him. Our hearts hurt like crazy to see him go but more so, to know why he is leaving. I pray for him and his family. Alex, Rest in Peace, there's noone else like you and the void you left is deep and wide. Love you and will always remember you making our evenings a special occasions as my mom and I prepared each day to sit and watch your show.
Curious if that "god" you're praying to is the same one that sat back and watched him die of cancer, that "god'? I hear your "god" is all-powerful, right? So it chose to watch Alex suffer and die rather than help, right? I mean if I could have cured Alex with nothing more than a thought but just watched him die wouldn't you think I was a monster? Why does your "god" do the same thing, letting us ALL suffer and die, yet you give it a pass and even worship it? And how did you determine there is a "god", let alone which of the 2000+ "gods" it is? Is it Thor? Zeus? Yahwey? Vishnu? Hera? Ra? (I bet it's Thor right? Those movies are great!) It's funny, every time I ask someone this, every single time, they attack me for asking. That's so odd to me, that someone would attack someone else for asking questions, I'm sure you won't do that, right? (sadly I'm sure you will but we'll see, you'll likely just ignore me too).
@@ross-carlson Dear Ross. Sounds like you ARE searching for a God to believe in. If you let go of the bitterness and cynicism, and learn to focus on what you are seaking, you WILL find it. GOD never hides from those who seek Him. Asking around wont help you because Everyone has their own PERSONAL relationship with God. When you Do Find Him, come back and let's us know. That's your own journey. If you seek you will find.
@@ross-carlson Your a real crusader. True inspiration. Feel Justified craping all over someone's beloved memories of cherished time spent with their loved ones? Really inspirational online crusader. Rest easy with the belief you accomplished something. "Little voice whispers" Your nothing, everything you say or do doesn't matter. While some have charish memories of time spent with their loved ones, you will have misguided feelings of self satisfaction. So maybe just try and be cool lady dam.
He has hosted the show longer than I have been alive and I have stopped watching when he passed because it’s hard for me to deal. This made me cry a lot. RIP to you.
The studio audience is absolutely gigantic. Thousands …wow….
Alex Trebek left a legacy to be proud of. Movie stars and entertainment icons come and go, but his true gift to his fans was bringing families together. For thousands of half-hours over the years, children and parents and grandparents shared that most precious commodity, time together. As remarkable, Jeopardy episodes don't age. The questions and answers remain of interest to future generations. God bless his family and, of course, him.
Imma 80 / 90s kid grew up watching Alex Trebek in my grandmother's house jeopardy ,wheel of fortune was the last two shows we got to watch before bed time at 8 pm unless the cosby show was on then 8:30 😆😉 but he was an awesome man ! These actors & host from watching them for so long become like family ❤RIP Mr.Alex Trebek❤ & my boy Jerry Springer ❤🙏🏾
From Greg Hopkins to Chuck Forrest to Frank Spangenberg to Jerome Vered to Leslie Frates to to Bob Verini to Eric Newhouse to Brad Rutter to Ken Jennings to Roger Craig to Julia Collins to James Holzhauer and closing with Jim Gilligan. Many of those who I'm forgetting that graduated from Trebek University. Thank you Alex.
I watch Jeopardy almost every day, and still miss Alex Trebek.
I miss you Alex Trebek The show is not the same without youYou did an excellent job
Canada's gift to the world !!!
I enjoyed him and His show for years!
Alex Trebek was family. He was the 80's and thereafter. He was a special man who made you feel like you knew him. God bless you and your family sir. I'll look for you when I get to heaven one day. Love, Brian
I've watched Jeopardy since I was six years old, in the early 90s. I literally grew up with Alex Trebek. When my work hours would allow; I would rush home to watch it live, or DVR it. Here we are years after his passing and I haven't watched an episode since he was the host. I've been trying to because my children and I watched Jeopardy as a family, but I can't wrap my mind around the fact that someone other than Alex will be hosting. Maybe some day I'll have the strength to watch again.
He was so jolly and happy I'm going to miss him😢
We will miss you Alex may you RIP.
This is making me cry 😭
This makes me miss my time spending with my grandmother. She loved this man and show.
Such a great inspiration!
Always fell asleep while my mother was cooking during wheel of fortune n jeopardy in my school years. Hearing the wheel spinning and jeopardy sounds while napping brings back many memories
A: We love you! Q: Who is Alex Trebek? RIP to the greatest game show host.
R.I.P. Alex.
Show will never be the same I will miss you Alex

My Grandma Loved Jeopardy & i Have a Strong hunch that She is Meeting Him in Heaven Because My Grandma is in heaven at the BeautifuL age of 91 & My Grandma is My Mom’s Mother That is in Heaven i Miss Her Like Crazy But i Know That When My Time Comes i’ll See Her Again. ☮️❤️☮️❤️☮️❤️☮️❤️☮️❤️.
we miss you so much alex ❤
Kudos to the news reporter for actually showing emotion
🙄
The only people that give this kind man a thumbs down are threatened by intelligence. No way 2 be.
He was so awesome and cool
You missed it. Before the tear jerking remembrance of Alex, Alex quickly thanked his audiences.
Him, Regis and Bob Barker are the reasons why I enjoyed game shows as a kid. R.I.P. legends.
The way he threw his hand up as he was walking off stage for the last time hurt my heart so deeply. I cried for hours. Jeopardy will never be the same without him 💔 😢 Alex is very missed !!!
So long, Alex😥
Total class act!
Rip Alex Trebek 1940-2020
Jeopardy was huge in my family....we have watched it since the beginning.....it lead us as a family to have crazy family trivia pursuit games where it was the girls against the guys....girls won.... to this day after many battles....girls have won..... but this week.... I have rushed home to watch..... and on Friday it made me sad to know it was the last time for Alex..... you will be missed!
Rest in peace 💔
Alex will be truly missed!!
Answer: Alex Trebek Question: Who is the G.O.A.T. Host?
Alex RIP you will be missed on Jeopardy
Trebek, Bob Barker at the Price Is Right- game show legends.
Rip Alex. He was a smart man
"One host ,can make Big Difference with Alex Trebek on Jeopardy!"
God bless this man
Too bad the montage didn’t include a pic of Trebek with the beard from last year. A lot of fans liked the look on him. But either way, he was a class act.
It really still feels like Alex is still here...it's odd. It's like it hasn't hit me yet. 😢
I will still watch Jeopardy and I WILL miss Alex Trebek
Ken does a great job! Unreplaceable isn't a word. 😂
So sad....Jeopardy will air forever on game show networks. No doubt. I tuned in every night as an 8th grader and years beyond. I always envied Alex because this man hade found his central purpose. His destiny. There was no other place for Mr. Trebek other than acting as the Jeopardy host. It is true. Some folks cannot be replaced. This counters the thought that "anyone can be replaced". This man could never be replaced until his death. The show depended on his involvement 100%. Not saying his production team wasn't awesome as well. but if any single person carried a lot of weight, it would be Alex Trebek.
Nobody can replace Alex Trebek.
Legend
Rest in peace sir
Unreal.
Dam between him Patrick Leonard Sajdak those are my 2 favorite TV host.
Goodbye brother...from Australia...
❤
Miss you
Great host
Ooo god Don't make me cry
Too late 😭
I wish Alex was my dad
1:48 There is a typo on that building. It reads "Blanchard Bvilding" With all Respect to Trebek of course
There are a few of these older buildings in NY which replace “U” with “V”
That's not a typo. In the classical Latin alphabet, there is no distinction between "U" and "V". It eventually split into two different letters to serve its different functions. It's the reason that the letter pronounce as "double U" actually looks like a "double V" (W). It's also the reason that Brits pronounce Lieutenant as "lef-tenant" while Americans pronounce it "lou-tenant". A lot of classical architecture will tend to honor traditions like the "V" depiction of the "U" and the use of Roman numerals to convey the year the building was built.
We will miss you, Alex Trebek! Trebek was one of the Greatest Hosts of All-Time in Show Business! We ❤️ you Alex!
I say offer the position (permanently) to a family member down the road if you haven't already.
Rip
Former Today Show personality Katie Couric is also hosting a few episodes.
😭😭😭😭
God this is good
Celebrities who passed away in Nov of 2020. Form of a question, please.
Rip Alex Trebek
Jeopardy and win
My only question is why was the reporter outside to report on this story?? 😂😂
how none of them answer the same day
They should almost consider calling it Jeopardy 2 or something, as to mark a new beginning. Because lets face it, Alex Trebek was Jeopardy, Nobody can ever replace him. But as with all things, Jeopardy most go on, and its a new beginning. As a worthy successor i could definitely see Ken Jennings in that role.
I'll take Greatest Hosts for 1000. This beloved Canadian host was best known for hosting Jeopardy for 37 seasons. Cameron? Who is Alex Trebek? Right.
This really was Final Jeopardy.. after the next episode with the new host the show is just gonna fall off.
He should not be replaced. End the show. Do not replace him with levar. Please.
Shut up with your Dig at Levar....its fans like you that shame the show....THATS why it needs to end...
Did Alex Trebek just wore a costume of Sean Connery from Highlander?
unreplaceable for sure..
