Have a friend that got to do a few games a season or two ago. What a blessing that was for him.

 

[SWC75]

Bump.

 

[obliterata]

thanks for bumping, I completely forgot about this

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Opening message tonight was powerful.

 

[creatorsgam]

Can’t believe I’m about to watch the last show with Trebek. I have a heavy heart this evening.

I forgot all about it. Was there any special tributes in the first 7 mins?

Not that I saw. Recording it and stepped out of the room for a minute to grab another brew.

“We’ll see you again next week.”

Don’t do that to me, Alex. One of the greats.

Tonight's the night...

(On at 7:30 here)

 

[upperdeck]

when it went to local Fox I pretty much lost track of it after watching for so many years.. glad it was mentioned I would have missed it

 

[OrangeXtreme]

So long, Alex

[DeGrozz]

Rest in peace Alex.

Thank you for making so many small enjoyable moments in our lives.

It was sad.

It was my late mother's favorite show. When I visited her, we'd watch it together. Since she died, I occasionally watch it just to remember those occasions. Alex, whom she admired greatly, and the music always brought a smile.

It should continue with another host, (Alex wasn't the first Jeopardy host: there was Art Fleming before him), but they could also show re-runs of Alex episodes for years, sort of like Classic Peanuts after Charles Schulz died. Most of the answers aren't about current pop culture.

Game Show Network used to show Jeopardy reruns. BUZZR has Classic Concentration, another Alex show that I enjoyed, but no Jeopardy. You can watch BUZZR online

Good intro by Ken Jennings, all things considered. Sounded like he got choked up for a second and was going to lose it.

 

[clayman32]

Jennings intro about Alex was good. Other than that it was a pretty straightforward performance. He read the answers and questions as well as you’d expect. I imagine he was reluctant to infuse any of his personality

 

[creatorsgam]

If Ken Jennings becomes permanent host, I would have no problem with it. He’s done well replacing a legend.

Getting more comfortable every game. Fun to watch

 

[ScrabbCuse]

Ken is doing great thus far! Doesn’t hurt that the gameplay has been fantastic as well. Today they had the current 7 day champ take on the 4 day champ who finished off last season but couldn’t return because of Covid restrictions until now. Good stuff!

So at some point Katie Couric and Blossom are going to be guest hosts?

Hard pass. I mean, I will still watch because it is my weeknight routine these days... but I’ve got low expectations there. Hope they surprise me.

From what I heard, they might only be guest hosting for two weeks rather than the six Ken is doing now. Or at least we can only hope.

 

[CA Monk]

Yup. It’s Ken. Good balance. Plus he’s respectful w/o interjecting too much personality.
