Miss Alex already. Great mind, great human, great soul.

RIP Alex. You are like family to my family. Such fond memories of my childhood involve you brother. You are what we could all aspire to be like. You did it man, you won life. You inspired us all and took care of your family, and did it all with class. Rest now brother, we love you.

Alex was tremendous as host of Jeopardy, he was so natural no pretense.

The host of Jeopardy before him was Art Fleming, and he also had a lot of class and a great voice.

Sorry to see him gone. I was born in Ontario in 1952 and remember him well on CBC. Watched Reach for the Top regularly. Alex was always a class act.

I'm from Northern Ontario, and we lost one of our own when Alex passed. We've had so few stars from this region; Alex Trebek, Shania Twain, Alan Thicke and Corey Marks are the biggest stars from our region. RIP Northern Ontario's own, Alex Trebek!

Rest in peace, Alex. You lived a good, full life, and it was time for you to go... although all the lives you have touched will miss you terribly. There will never be another like you... Jeopardy will never be the same again.

Trebek reading those rejected categories was hilarious - the way he delivered them made it priceless, hahaha

Something about Alex dancing to Yakety Sax is really heart warming.

Hard to believe this was 25 years ago! Alex we miss you and Dave we miss your show!

Alex was a great success but apparently never let it go to his head. Eminently fair and kind to everyone it surely seems he was a terrific gentleman. Canada has produced so many it seems in this mold.

Alex was a true gentleman!

He seemed like such a perfect gentleman. RIP.

Alex was one of a kind, and will be missed for a long time.

#ripalextrebek you were my childhood I love watching you with with my mom and dad we would answer the question with the contestants I'm a big fan you are amazing and awesome person you will be sadly missed.😭🙏

Alex was an exemplary ambassador for Canada.

This is so great. We used some of his 90's Letterman interview for our recent Trebek story. Great little compilation you have here!

Alex is one of the nicest guys in TV history

A real class act

Thanks for this, Don.

Alex Trebek also appeared on “Ellen” in 2008 after recovering from his heart attack.

The Jeopardy! Book is brilliant. I still have my copy.

I love how quick you are to put together these compilations when they're relevant. Thank you, Donz.

Thanks Don...very much appreciated. 👍🏻

That was great. Thanks Don.

This dude never aged, he’s 50 in this video??

Alex Trebek will forever be the longest running host of J!, but to me, he'll be known as the host of High Rollers & Classic Concentration Fact: Alex has hosted 2 of the most successful revivals on television JEOPARDY! for syndication and Classic Concentration on NBC Daytime and both shows were originally born at the NBC Studios New York City which was the home to Late Night with David Letterman, Saturday Night LIVE and The Original Price is Right with the late Bill Cullen J! was at Hollywood Center Studios Hollywood, CA and now SONY Pictures Studios Culver City, CA and Classic Concentration was Videotaped at NBC Studios Burbank, CA the birthplace of High Rollers, The Original Hollywood Squares and of course, Wheel of Fortune which was born in '75 and is still on the air today God Bless You Alex Trebek, R.I.P. Quizmaster

Happy 80 to Alex Trebek God Bless You and Keep on Fighting High Rollers, JEOPARDY! and Classic Concentration are my favorites

Canadians don't get enough credit for how good looking, clean cut, well speaking, smart, humble and nice they are.

Well according to Alex the show was too cerebral for the audience

1990: "We've never been able to beat Wheel of Fortune for 7 years!" 1994: "For the past ten years he's hosted the *granddaddy* of them all, Alex Trebek!" That happened fast

you’re all heart. thanks for this and..... which Canadian gameshow host needs all our positive energy now ( in the form of a question please )

Between 1978-1979,Wheel and Jeopardy were both on NBC daytime.

Love the Top 10 rejected Jeopardy! categories. Especially, "Canadian Sex Secrets" followed by "Things That Throb". Oh how apropos.

I am not drooling here over Alex Trebek or anything..I simply express admiration for the man and what he seems to be. I never realized how incredibly handsome Alex Trebek was as a younger man...as well as witty, intelligent, articulate, refined. What a guy, what a personality!🔥😍 What a winning and fiery combination, all brewing in one person! I am left starstruck and breathless!🔥😍 As a kid, I started watching "Jeopardy"!, and it has become one of my favorite game shows and it still is to this day! My thoughts and prayers are with Alex Trebek and his family. We're all rooting for you, Alex! You will fight and defeat that ailment! You got this! 👊💪💯💯

Nice Roots jacket Alex.

Sick reharm of the jeopardy theme on the second appearance...

Alex Trebek and Paul Shaffer are both from Northern Ontario!

9:57 - Alex Tre-BURRRRRNNNNN

I knew Alex was from Sudbury but I didn't know that Paul was from Thunder Bay. So you're on David Letterman with your band the other daaaayyyyy... Also, that Top Ten list was on my 16th birthday

Much thanks to Mr. Trebeck!!! You made me want to be educated. I know you have a job in heaven! He was the wise man with gold! Thanks Letterman for letting me stay up past my bedtime! (Joe Dumars was the executive for the Detroit Pistons.)

I loved Pitfall although it was a victim of a production company bankruptcy.

I almost feel bad for laughing at the bit about the forensic pathologist, but then I think Alex might be laughing at it now, too. He did have something of a barbed sense of humor. RIP to him Merv. God bless

Alex smacked him in the face jeez

I find life lonelier without Alex in it
