Love the show Jeopardy. Alex Trebek fought pancreatic cancer and carried on until the end with grace and intelligence. He was a real class act and will be missed.

GC, love your post! It is so true.
I've watched the show forever. Loved Alex and like others have stated, he was a class act. He will be sorely missed!
Also, I just finished is book, "The Answer Is". A must read for anyone who watched and admired him.

There's a special "20/20" program on tonite @ 10pm (ABC) about him.

Pre Alex there was Art Fleming who also did a stellar job.
Hopefully, they’re prepared to hand this off to the next steward.

I hope that when I am gone, they say that I had 1/100th the courage and grace of Alex Trebek. The man is a true legend and the way in which he faced his mortality should be a lesson to all of us.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ken Jennings become the next Jeopardy! host...

Alex made Jeopardy special. I will certainly miss him and all his wit and charm.

Ken wouldn't be surprising, he's entertaining and certainly knowledgeable. But of former contestants I think the one with the best voice for the job would be Frank Spangenburg.

The show's easiest move makes the most financial sense - Sajak hosts Jeopardy, Vanna takes over Wheel.

But my dark horse best host would be scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson. He has the knowledge, voice, and personality for the job.

Trebek said most likely a woman. And he mentioned Laura Coates.

Jeff Probst did a great job with the music version.

Pat Sajak hosting Jeopardy, lol thanks for the good laugh.

I would go with his daughter
Alex Trebek's oldest daughter Nicky is the only one to follow him into the family business. It turns out Nicky did not have to go far — she works as a production assistant on Jeopardy

GC agreed! Neil would be an excellent choice!
