“Jeopardy!” Says Goodbye to Alex Trebek

The Alex Trebek era officially came to an end on “Jeopardy” on Friday. After the regular game ended, they aired a 90-second montage that featured his best vintage moments, infamous contestant quips, and that smile through the years, set to Peter Allen’s “Once Before I Go.” 

The producers released the tribute early on Twitter and YouTube so we could savor it just a big longer. You can see it on the right. 

Alex – who succumbed to pancreatic cancer in November – is survived by wife Jean Trebek, their two children Emily and Matthew and Nicky, whom he helped raise when he was married to ex-wife Elaine Trebek Kare. Nicky, who works as a production coordinator on the show, took to The ‘Gram to pay tribute after the episode aired. “You were extraordinary!!!” adding the hashtags #JeopardyForever and #WeMissYouDad.
