Rest Peacefully Alex Trebek.

We’ve all seen Jeopardy at least once in our lives. Growing up, Jeopardy was playing on our TV daily. My Mom was addicted and always said she was “going to school” when she was watching. I remembered it as watching Mom’s show with the curly haired guy with the “cheesy” mustache.
Over 40 some years, that guy turned into an icon. A distinguished, elderly gentleman with a keen sense of humor and an everlasting smile. Despite his years long battle with cancer, he continued to work and visit the worlds living rooms every night.
He will be missed.

He was born in Canada; however, he became an American citizen in 1998. So I guess we can fly both flags. Well I would but I don't have the flag emoji on here. :p

Even the show contestants said he wasn't your normal TV celebrity. He was a normal guy that would crack jokes and do impersonations during commercials. Everyone that knew him said he never let fame get to him or change him. Jeopardy will never be the same without him if they continue on with a new host.
