[Darrell KSR]

Screw you, 2020.

[Darrell KSR]

I'm sorry, I shouldn't sully the posting of his passing with anything but respect and condolences for the family and friends of Alex Trebek. And the millions of people who admired and respected him, me included. I spent many hours watching this classy gentleman.

“What is another reason to dislike 2020?”

He just rose far above “game show host” to become a fixture in American life and a symbol of a life well lived.

Not necessarily at childhood icon for me, but during my teen years he was. RIP Mr Jeopardy

Sigh. RIP Alex.

Ken Jennings said what I was thinking. Probably what we were all thinking.

Daggone! I l lost a friend to pancreatic cancer a couple of months ago. Having seen first hand how quickly the cancer exacts it’s will on those stricken with it, prayers to his family.

My friend made a decision that I heard echoed by Tribek not long ago. Once the treatment began taking a toll on the quality of life it no longer made sense to continue the battle. In addition my friend stated, it wasn’t fair to his family both emotionally or financially to continue the battle while only feeling human one or two days between treatments.

...God bless

Not unexpected, but still sad news

[catmanjack]

Does anyone know who the new host is and when they will be on.

[catmanjack]

I knew it was unexpected but I was still in shock and wondered when was his last live taping.

[Darrell KSR]

His final show will be broadcast December 25. Seems fitting.

Don't know who his replacement will be. Heard speculation it might be Ken Jennings.

Talk about pressure. Trying to fill unfillable shoes....

Heard on the radio they were also looking at the guy who hosts on TCM. That makes sense, he has that very polished but low key style.

I think Drew Carey has been good replacing Bob Barker (completely different styles) , so it is tough but can be done.

I've only seen a handful of Drew Carey hosted shows, but I thought he did a fine job. Different, but good.

[catmanjack]

Drew did a total make over of himself in order to fill that role.

I can't get used to him being thinner. It just doesn't look like Drew to me.

I liked him before he got his shows, and really liked him on Whose Line.

Tough opening of tonight’s show

[catmanjack]

Had to watch and will watch every night thru dec 25th!

[catmanjack]

His final shows will be 1-4-2021 thru 1-8-2021
