    :(

    A class act, indeed. And refreshingly plain spoken.

    No one will be able to fill his shoes.

    I believe he was a very Honorable Man, a genuine good soul.

    And..... how many guys do we know that could rock a mustache and not look like a tool.

    A true American Icon. Even though he was born in Canada. He was a US Citizen as of 1998, when he Naturalized. We were happy to have you!

    For all but 7 years of my life, he has been there at 7pm. I hope the show will go on.

    RIP Mr. Trebek

    We watched Jeopardy almost nightly too.

    It feels good to be able to answer some of the questions. I like getting the final jeopardy questions right. Jeopardy almost always gives clues in their answers.

    I wonder who the next host will be.
