I remember that everytime I was sick, and when I destroyed my knee and had to stay home for a week after surgery, everyday I would watch Jeopardy and play along. Even when I got older, and had I was home for whatever reason, that show would go on.
I remember the SNL spoofs of the show, and even the SCTV spoofs of it, and I always laughed because I would think that underneath his cool calm gentleman like exterior he was cussing and swearing and face palming on the inside.
Jeopardy and Alex Trebek are a game show institution. Sure we had other interesting games like Who Wants to be a Millionare and wheel of fortune, and even the price is right. But nothing stood out like Jeopardy as a show that you could multiple times say to yourself, I didn't know that, or that's interesting.
Here's hoping that he pulls through this thing.
