Jeopardy! Host Alex Trebek Dead at 80

Longtime Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek died Sunday after a battle with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, TMZ has confirmed. He was 80.

The show released a brief statement via Twitter, writing: “Jeopardy! is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning, surrounded by family and friends. Thank you, Alex.”

Trebek first revealed his cancer diagnosis in March 2019 via a video announcement. Though he acknowledged that the prognosis for his illness was “not very encouraging,” Trebek said at the time that he planned “to fight this, and I’m going to keep working.” Throughout his struggle with the disease, he continued to host Jeopardy! (which then went on hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic), and he offered frequent health updates to fans while undergoing treatment.

Trebek was such a staple of American daytime television. He's one of those people you just assume are going to be around forever. Condolences to his loved ones and fans.
 
RIP to the one of the greatest game show hosts of all time.

He will be missed dearly.

Hopefully Jeopardy! doesn't replace him with Donald Trump.

I know I will miss him, he's been a staple in my household for years...I believe since he started on Jeopardy in 1984...he musta been a great guy, I read somewhere he'd never been in the tabloids, which is quite a feat in itself...💕
 
Rest in peace Alex, you were admired and will be missed by many.
 
Alex spent a lifetime giving answers to the questions that you should be asking. Qanon should idolize him, but they're not smart enough to see that.
