Alex Trebek
Legendary Jeopardy-host! One year prior to Alex Trebek’s announcement of pancreatic cancer. Luckily, that gave his fans time to appreciate what they had in the host and brace for what would be an unthinkable loss for all of them. During the pandemic, Trebek said, he spent the last year of his life doing small house projects as he was too immune to leave. At the age of 80, he was surrounded by his family and a small crowd of friends as he passed by. Trebek wrote about his expectations for his legacy in memoirs “I’d like to be remembered first of all as a good and loving husband and father, and also as a decent man who did his best to help people perform at their best,” he wrote. “I’ll be perfectly content if that’s how my story ends: sitting on the swing with the woman I love … my wonderful children nearby.”
