Our Beloved Alex Trebek Dies at Age 80
We were shocked to learn of the passing of Alex Trebek in the early hours of November 8th, 2020 in his home in Los Angeles. Although we knew this day would come, Alex Trebek’s brave battle against Stage 4 pancreatic cancer had the whole world rooting for him to beat this dreadful disease and therefore, allayed our fears that he would eventually succumb to his diagnosis.
Fikkle Fame joins the whole world in mourning the loss of this great man who has brought so many years of pleasure to Jeopardy lovers everywhere. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones.
I can’t agree with you more. A class act like Alex is going to be hard to find.
Rest in peace.
I have watched Alex Trebek on High Rollers and Jeopardy. Always wanted to meet him. He had so much class. No one will ever be able to replace him. Hopefully that will have reruns with him on another channel. He was the great game show host on television.. Answer. Who is Alex Trebek. Thank you for all your years you shared with us
Truly a class act, a rare individual in times like these.Thanks for all the great shows.RIP
Me & My Mom’s Favorite Game To Watch When i Was A Boy !!! Still remember it like yesterday & i have a Terrible Memory!! We Love You Very Much Alex!!!!!!!!! Your an Inspiration To All Of Humanity !!!! May We All Learn From You !!! The Fallon Family From Foster R.I.
I was fortunate to appear three different times (7 total episodes) on Jeopardy with Alex as host. He was always the consummate professional, but what some don’t know is that he had a quick, wicked sense of humor.. He will be missed.
I will always remember you Alex Trebek! You’ve been such a great host with Johnny Gilbert these 36 years and I’ve watched you and Johnny since 2010 and even saw you 2 when I was in the audience of Season 32 in 2015! No one is ever gonna replace you when you’ve entertained and fascinated fans around the world and may you rest in peace! You will really be missed and thank you for bringing back Jeopardy on the show since Art Fleming! Best wishes for your family who loved you and feel sad in their hearts that miss you and I’ll never forget you when I keep watching the show! Anthony Thomas ☮ Rest in Peace, We ❤️ You Alex!
I even forgot, Even all these years when I watched the show, I always announced the show with Johnny and I’m sure it will be really hard to announce Ken Jennings after an emotional farewell from your passing!
Alex was a legendary host. I loved his sense of humor. I will miss seeing him walk out on stage and opening the show with ” Hello and welcome ladies and gentlemen, let’s get started with these categories. ” He is my favorite game show host. I’ll pray for comfort and peace for the family.
Every day, I can’t get home fast enough to see Jeopardy! Alex was the best! Absolutely just love, love, loved him!
He was a true scholar in every category. He will be missed. There is no other. Jeopardy will NEVER be the same.
Condolences to his family.
A true gentleman and scholar your legacy will live on.
I have stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer and was quite blown away when he passed! He was looking and acting great and then he left us, really worries me! Watching til the end!
Oh no! Are you ok?
My heart goes out to Alex’s family as well as the millions of fans like myself who tuned in daily to Jeopardy and were greeted by his affable grin. The show will never be the same without him!

RIP💔🙏💔
To the Trebek family,
My condolences to you on the loss of Alex. I watched Jeopardy since the beginning. I would guess the answers got some right and some wrong. I could tell that Alex was a gentle soul. A man of good nature. When heard of his cancer, I thought of many person in my life that had cancer. Thank you Alex for many years of good questions and answers. Jeopardy will not be the same without you. May you rest now knowing that family and friends will continue your legacy.
OMG How sad that Alex’s battle came to end , after he had made some inroads several months ago. His easy manner and dignity were some of the qualities I admired in him. He was the perfect host for Jeopardy and it will be hard to see someone else in that role… He inspired achievement in the contestants. It is poignant watching these last episodes knowing he is no longer with us.
God bless his wife and children, as well as the Jeopardy crew. Thanks, Alex, for all the wonderful knowledge and memories!
I have watched Alex, since I was a little boy, didn’t understand the game, but Mom enjoyed and was able to beat a lot of the contestants. Your name was a household name in our home, jeopardy will not ever be the same. Thank you Alex for 36 years of Jeopardy. RIP Alex you deserve a rest. May God bless and keep your family
so very sad.no one should have to have this awful disease., hopefully one day there will be a cure for this.for all of you who suffer from this.condolences to every family member that has lost a loved one to cancer
My deepest condolences to the Trebek family. He was in my living room almost every night. He almost seemed like he was a family member to me. Great at what he did. Always cared about the show and each contestant. He is definitely someone to look up to and strive to be like him. He will without a doubt be missed.
I loved jeopardy and Alex was the big reason why. My sister in law is fighting this terrible disease and the outlook does not look good. As Alex was in my prayers please keep her in yours. She’s only 54.
Alex will be missed.
I loved to announce “Alex Trebeck” with Johnny Gilbert every time. Alex was a special human being the world is missing. We should all strive to be more like him. May the blessings be for his family and loved ones. So sorry for your loss.
RIP Alex you will be sorely missed, 7:30 in my home will never be the same. Condolences to the Trebek Family!!!
Loved Jeopardy and Alex for many years. Will definitely miss his witty personality. Condolences to the Trebek Family!!
I was so excited back in 1984 when the quiz show “Jeopardy” was revived! When the show first began its new run I was originally sad to learn that there would be a new host. Alex Trebek proved himself many times over that he WAS the host of Jeopardy. I will miss him a great deal. RIP Alex, you will be missed by many.
Loved Alex and Jepardy will miss you RIP
Alex felt like part of our family because he had drawn my family together through Jeopardy almost every evening for so many years. We loved him and we will miss him but he will always live on in our hearts. We are sending our condolences and prayers out to Alex’s family and to all of his many friends and fans that are grieving as we are. 🙏❤
The honest truth, my 34 year old son’s first word was “jepadee”. We will miss you always Alex. You fought a brave fight with grace and humor.
My daughter is 36 years old this year and I remember watching Jeopardy with her and she loved the music. I even taped the music so I could play it during the day. She learned to clap with Wheel of Fortune and followed that with the Jeopardy final Jeopardy song.
Alex has been part of our family via TV, he brought our family together everynight. A true legend. He will be truly missed. Our thoughts and prayers to all of Alex’s family during this most difficult time. He was truly one of the best. RIP Alex.

How sad to realize that Alex is not with us any longer. Our evenings at 7:00 P.M. will not be the same without him. I hope he meets up with Sean Connery in Heaven so they can have a good laugh commiserating about SNL Jeopardy skits.
As a teacher, you have inspired me greatly, I will be praying for your family and loved ones, God’s peace!
Thank you Alex for 36 wonderful seasons. As an Ottawa native I was always proud of how you represented our City and Country. You were a great Ambassador.
