A year without Alex Trebek
 |
He received the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host eight times for his work on Jeopardy.
Mr Trebek passed a year ago on November 8, 2020 at the age of 80 after a 20 month battle with stage IV pancreatic cancer. Mom, like so many others, was hoping he would beat the diagnosis.
George Alexander Trebek was born July 22, 1940 in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada and grew to be a popular television personality and game show host from 1961 through 2020 and was a beloved figure to the fans of Jeopardy all over for 37 seasons running 1984 until his death in 2020.
Born in Canada, he became a naturalized US citizen in 1998. He also served as host on a number of other game shows, including The Wizard of Odds, Double Dare, High Rollers, Battlestars, Classic Concentration, and To Tell the Truth.
He also did cameo appearances as himself in various films and television series.
Alex Trebek continues to be missed. Rest in peace.
