Alex Trebek's legacy on Jeopardy! will live on, courtesy of the internet.
Since passing away on Sunday (November 8) due to pancreatic cancer, the beloved TV icon has received an outpour of tributes and one of the most memorably ones is a viral supercut of Trebek swearing and goofing off while filming promos. The supercut, which lasts 28 seconds, sees a young Trek on the long-running game show in his element. "Ya dumb son of a bitch," Trebek says about himself in one take after messing up his liners and it's sweet to see the late star show off his silly side during his time on-set.
Days since his death, Trebek's wife, Jean, 56, took to Instagram to break her silence on her loss. "My family and I sincerely thank you all for your compassionate messages and generosity," Jean, captioned a photo from the pair's wedding day. "Your expressions have truly touched our hearts. Thank you so very, very much. Many Blessings to all, Jean Trebek." He is also survived by their two children, Emily, 27, and Matthew, 30.
Jeopardy! executive producer Mike Richards recently shared details about the beloved TV icon's last day with his family. "He had a nice final day. He was out on his swing that he loved with his wife and surrounded by family," Richards said of Trebek's time with Jean. "It was a very peaceful day, there were laughs, and then he went to sleep."
"If you know Alex, he did everything that perfectly and even his last day was done that perfectly. I just love that he had a nice, a good last day," Richards continued. "Ultimately, his family came back into town. He was surrounded by everyone and I think he knew that it was his time. He was very at peace with that."
