“Over the weekend we lost our beloved host, Alex Trebek.
Even competitors weighed in on his passing; Family Feud host Steve Harvey hailed Trebek as “the classiest game show host of all time.” The final Jeopardy! episodes hosted by Alex Trebek will continue to air in syndication through Christmas.
“That’s what he wanted,” said Richards, who also revealed that Trebek taped his final Jeopardy “less than two weeks” before his passing.
Celebrities, stars, and former contestants have continued to celebrate Trebek on social media since his passing on Sunday.
