Living well and enjoying my retirement
ABC has announced Alex Trebek, the genial "Jeopardy!" host with all the answers and a reassuring presence in the TV game-show landscape for five decades, has died. He was 80 years old, he had been suffering form Pancreatic Cancer and he succumbed to the disease at home early this morning, Jeopardy will continue but it won't be the same
This was a show that I always watched

So, who's next? Ken Jennings, maybe?
It may be that you’re not comfortable with changes
When I think of The Daily Show - I think of Jon Stewart - and the group of talented personalities he had working with him. Trevor Noah doesn’t come close to Jon Stewart (in my opinion).
I can see something similar being said when they name the next Jeopardy host, as it’s very difficult to take over after someone like Trebek.
Thinking about another recent loss - Sean Connery - and how folks might compare his James Bond to others. Connery set a high bar - and few could step in after.

I know someone who just taped an episode as a contestant that has yet to be aired. It will be bittersweet to watch it when it does air.

RIP Alex. I enjoyed his constant presence on Jeopardy. He seemed to be a good dude too. He will be missed.

^ I don’t know that their replacements can’t compare it’s a different generation different kinds of personality is needed to appeal to this new generation they certainly have many more intests competing for their attention

I think there are hosts who are just hosts - and there are hosts who have a much broader appeal and influence. They may not find a Jeopardy host who can live up to the level of Alex Trebek.

The producers of Jeopardy announced today that Ken Jennings the person who has the most Jeopardy wins would be filling in the interim for Alex Trebek, at least until a suitable successor can be found
