    It was common knowledge that he was fighting cancer....Black Panther didn't tell people.
    I didn't see the special on him but would be interested in learning more about him.  

    Cancer sucks balls.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    He was the best.  I think they said that there is enough episodes filmed to last a bit.
    His last episode set to air on Christmas day.
    Tribute to him by the show's producer tonight before the show started, guy got choked up.

    So did I, especially when they dimmed the lights on the set. I really liked that a brief tribute to Trebek ran pretty much every commercial break during Wheel Of Fortune as well.

    @helplessdancer, thanks for posting the SCTV clip, it was as good as the SNL sketches!

    Same week as Sean Connery. 
    Except I doubt, Trebeck held caveman views on how women should be treated...

    The game show of my childhood through college. Watched it religiously as a kid and kept score with answers I knew. Played the online game back in the early days of the internet and then later had the PlayStation game. Always been a trivia buff so Jeopardy was my favorite.

    RIP Alex. You were one of a kind.
    It's a hopeless situation...
