What a pleasant man! I also watched and learned much. Plus, he never dressed like a slob as many show hosts do. Nor do they have his grace, kindness nor wit. I did not know he went to the University of Ottawa... You cannot replace greatness. Love + Respect~ Pangie xxx

Sounded like a decent man who didn't need filth to be funny. Lovely tribute Panagiota. Tom

Dear Tom, thank you for bringing that salient point. I am so fed up with filth of any nature being a necessity to laughter! Music is nasty. Porn is de Jour of the Day. Hello? Get a dictionary, all of us! I shared that when I did comedy, women and men would be removed from clubs. No need to make people's skin crawl. I feel the human body is not a joke book for writers to use. Language here is awful. It begins in grade 2- x rated words. Written on buildings, now...Thevcommon lingo of ANTIFA....heaven help a world of toilet talkers. THANK YOU. PANGIE XX

WoW! Panagiota, You have penned such a great tribute to Alex Trebek. He was such a awesome host and person. My mother loved Jeopardy. She went several live tapings of show. He had such a fighting spirit until the end. He most definitely will be missed by his many fans. Well done-Alexis

Great your Mom saw hi, that's so impressive. How many men are like him? Sure the show lated long, but he looked great. There is an online jeopardy game. One for kids...too. Alas, no Alex, hus wife was just a stunner. He was a celebrity but hand the sense and chutzpah to not flaunt it. Yes, agree, will be missed Love and respect, Pangie.xx
