No one can truly replace a legend like Alex I mean you can’t think of jeopardy with out picturing Alex, but I feel if anyone is worthy of that title it should be Ken Jennings.

I hope Alex knew how much of a treasure he was to millions of us. I remember coming home from school and turning on Jeopardy and still watching it as an adult. A kind, gentle and bright soul. All of America is going to miss him. 💐💙
This would have been a much more enjoyable list if we could have seen the actual clips of what happened rather than the narrator explaining what happened. I actually had to stop watching it cause all the humour was lost.

Yea, I'm pretty sure it was deliberate on Ken's part. He know it was wrong, but he was enough ahead that it didn't matter. Take a look at his face right after he says, "What is a hoe?" He's grinning even before Alex said, No."

We've lost Alex Trebek today. Saddening. KZread brought me to this video, where you show on a graphic (multiple times) that Jeopardy started in 1964. It's in fact 1984.

WatchMojo is actually correct. The original Jeopardy was aired on NBC in 1964 with Art Fleming hosting. It ran until 1975. ABC restarted Jeopardy in 1984 with Alex Trebek as host.

@@davyt0247 Ah. Well, in that case, WatchMojo should've made it "Jeopardy (1964-1975, 1984-)", which I've seen them do before.

I remember rushing home every day after school to watch Jeopardy! I loved everything about the show and Alex as host. It will never be the same without him. Never cried so much for someone I've never met. I still can't believe it
I remember watching that Jeopardy episode with my son when that kid said "What is a Donkey?" and like the crowd,we both burst out laughing.

Just a few days ago someone answered "donkey" for a clue about an animal in some Biblical passage. They accepted it, but the answer they wanted was a certain three-letter synonym for donkey...I wonder if that person had been reluctant to say that word. But Alex said, it, very seriously, "We'll accept donkey. But it was..."
No one can replace him .. rest in peace Alex we love you
I bawled when I found out. I love watching Alex. Prayers to his family.
I have heard that Ken Jennings will replace him for the show to go on but you can't replace Alex ever. He was a true persona and I watched him all the time when I was younger with my grandma. RIP Alex. 😭😭❤❤ Also, he's resting up there with Regis; two of my favorite game show hosts are gone but never forgotten. ❤
RIP Alex Thanks for the memories
My family and I would love to just sit and watch Jeopardy each night. Not every night sometimes, but we loved the challenging questions worded weirdly. Alex has been there forever and I miss him already.
2:32 That moment when you're making fun of Jeopardy fails but you don't even read the original clue correctly
Just realized after looking at the SNL Jeopardy clip..."mortal enemies" Connery and Trebek died within days of each other! 😯😉
Kareem also had another fail...he missed his own line in the movie "Airplane".

Alex was intelligent, personable and a great communicator. He made a tv quiz show, that could have been tedious entertaining and fun to watch. He was someone who you looked forward to welcome into your home each night as I watched Jeopardy. He will be missed. God bless him, and God bless his family as they deal with his passing.
Me and my family would sit in the living room and have our own little Jeopardy games while the show was going on. It was awsome.
I love these, i remember a few, I used to watch Jeopardy religiously.
The Arthur clip, was awesome.
We love you Alex. Thank You for the memories and the legacy you left with Your work with Jeopardy R.I.P Alex Trebek 😭
Revisiting my childhood. Rest well Alex, you more than earned it.
Glad I had a full second to see what the answer was before I could hear that wrong answer. This kinda wasn’t funny because there wasn’t any context.

Willy Wonka at the end...epic! LOL "GOOD DAY SIR!"
I saw number 1 live. the best 2nd place finisher from one of the other semifinals took the final spot and won the tournament
Fact check: X was a official rating for movies
0:13 maybe he lives in a place where bathrooms aren't too popular, so whenever he goes outside all he sees is yellow snow 😂😂😂
This show is the BEST!!
The guy who turned a question about tree huggers into "Who is Carl Sagan" is the most puzzling fail ever.
Can someone explain what's going on with the countries round in the honourable mentions? Did they have to pick the most populated or something?

Well he is only one that made it funny as hell with em
i think the same thing as number 1 happened on the 2nd ever game of jeopardy, which led to the strategy of betting everything but 1 or 2 dollars
Rest in Piece Alex, your legacy lives on
Bigger fail for Kareem, I think - his line from "Airplane!" - Tell your old man to drag this '70's UCLA and Trail Blazer center (& Lanier!) up & down the court for 48 minutes.
There is a behind the scene on the Watson one. Its a good video to watch and you can understand why it choose Toronto.
That Wolf Blitzer one. Holy shit. That's embarrassing. Doesn't really know as much as he thinks he does. lol.
That “Chris Farley” answer should have been number one. I was fucking dying
Jeopardy may be distributed by CBS, but it is owned and produced by Sony. The latter company even released a DVD containing the most memorable episodes of the current run.
RIP mr.J your Entertainment will never be forgotten
Gone but certainly not forgotten🥺💔
This is not one of Watchmojo's better edited videos.
Omg the ending was the best part
10: What is a donkey 9: What is a threesome 8: Kareem Abdul-Jabber’s X-rated Answer 7: What is pussy furry 6: Wolf Blitzer’s big First round loss 5: What are public toilets 4: What is Toronto 3: Who is magic johnson 2: Terrible trio suffers multiple triple stumpers in 1 game HM: Mr. Wrong & mr. Right HM: Who was Chris farley 1: All teen contestant finish with $0
LOL!!! :'D The middle contestant of number 1 (Joe) is actually a friend from my graduating class!
wow, Alex is actually a savage with no emotions xD

Turd Ferguson !!
I used to watch Jeopardy! with my grandfather before he passed away
The kebert xela one was hilarious. It was from family guy but also someone did it in real life
R.I.P Alex. You’ll be missed
There was an episode where everyone couldn't answer a damn question at all. The category is VIDEOGAMES.
2:31 Did anyone else notice that the narrator said that there were "6 movie ratings" on the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar question, when the question clearly states that there are "5 movie ratings"?
RIP the great Alex Trebek. Truly a legend.
Kareem's answer of the movie rating X is far from a fail IMO. Many aren't aware that X isn't an official movie rating, since it's so commonly used.
What episode is number 2 from?
Chris Farley LMAO!
Just here to say... "I lost in Jeopardy, baby!"
The celebrity episodes of "Jeopardy!" often have surprising results. Cheech Marin destroyed when he was on there.
WATSON was looking at "Billy Bishop Airport" in Toronto, named for a war hero. His answer was not so crazy, he was just a little confused. It's sad that Alex Trebek knows this as well, but he's not allowed to explain it to the American audience.
"What is Toronto?" should be number 1!!
So, while "What's a hoe?" isn't considered a fail for Jeopardy!, it IS considered one of the biggest fails in game show history. Oh, WatchMojo...
Why does 2020 have to be so bad? RIP to Alex, one of my favorite TV personalities, but hopefully he's in a better place, feeling better than ever hosting game shows for angels in Heaven. Everyone keep his loved ones in your thoughts and prayers...
9:15 Why did the leader - who had a $4,400 advantage - bet everything?! Why did ANY of them bet everything? Ugh!
Ancient Rome did have public toilets. But they didn't wipe with papyrus.
I’ll take people for $2000 The answer is Alex Trebek Who was a 100% class act R. I. P. Mr. Alex Trebek thank you for everything
“In Japan, a Doctor might tell you to stick out your SHITA.” “What is your behind?”
You know you've messed up when Alex responds with "oh no...".
That triple-zero Teen Tournament game was painful to watch. To be fair, at least all three of those contestants were in the correct region of the world with "Dublin".
i remember once they asked, what is this song?...they played ice ice baby. no one answered aaaaand it was extra points
I MISS THE SOUP 😭😢😭😤 Magic Johnson 😞 Y did narrator call the chick frm goldfinger kitty galore? One of my favorite clips frm Arthur!! ❤... Who's dewey??!
Jeopardy should have had a tie breaker question ready for that teen tournament
I’m speechless! I’ve got nothing to say about the number one pick!
