Jeopardy was around long before Trebek and will be on a long time after.
(Art Fleming was the original host and in an eerie coincidence also passed away from pancreatic cancer)
He did, however, take it to a completely different level once it was syndicated and not a daily game show as its predecessor was.
Just such a great Canadian and by all accounts a true gentleman in a business bereft of them.
RIP good man, you have earned it in spades.
