We have lost a great one in Alex Trebek.
The longtimeJeopardy!hostpassed awaySunday.
The show announced his death viaTwitter: “Jeopardy!
Thank you, Alex.”
Social media was quick to respond to the sad news.
One follower said what was on many of our minds with this comment: “Nooooo not Alex.
2020 needs to end!”
A class act and an American treasure.
#AlexTrebek fought with dignity to the very end.
Will never forget filming with him #WhiteMenCantJump.
He was kind and funny.
When I mispronounced Mt.
Vesuvius, he went right along & ad-libbed ‘checking with the judges’ and the rest is history.
You will be missed!
Meanwhile, Fox commentator Britt McHenry shared her reaction to the news,tweeting, “Heartbreaking.
He fought so hard and valiantly.
Gave so many of us who battled our own health issues hope.
A survivor through and through.
The 33-year-old recently underwent surgery for a brain tumor in early 2020.
We are deeply saddened forhis wife Jean, his family & millions of Jeopardy fans.”
We join the fans and celebrities who wish Trebek’s family peace after this devastating loss.
Alex, you will be sorely missed.
