Alex was such a Handsome Man. RIP - Alex

Two Geniuses that I will never get tired of watching,Dave and Alex❤️

RIP Alex. You are like family to my family. Such fond memories of my childhood involve you brother. You are what we could all aspire to be like. You did it man, you won life. You inspired us all and took care of your family, and did it all with class. Rest now brother, we love you.

Miss Alex already. Great mind, great human, great soul.

Rest in peace, Alex. You lived a good, full life, and it was time for you to go... although all the lives you have touched will miss you terribly. There will never be another like you... Jeopardy will never be the same again.

Alex was tremendous as host of Jeopardy, he was so natural no pretense.

I'm from Northern Ontario, and we lost one of our own when Alex passed. We've had so few stars from this region; Alex Trebek, Shania Twain, Alan Thicke and Corey Marks are the biggest stars from our region. RIP Northern Ontario's own, Alex Trebek!

Sorry to see him gone. I was born in Ontario in 1952 and remember him well on CBC. Watched Reach for the Top regularly. Alex was always a class act.

Trebek reading those rejected categories was hilarious - the way he delivered them made it priceless, hahaha

Alex was a great success but apparently never let it go to his head. Eminently fair and kind to everyone it surely seems he was a terrific gentleman. Canada has produced so many it seems in this mold.

Something about Alex dancing to Yakety Sax is really heart warming.

Hard to believe this was 25 years ago! Alex we miss you and Dave we miss your show!

#ripalextrebek you were my childhood I love watching you with with my mom and dad we would answer the question with the contestants I'm a big fan you are amazing and awesome person you will be sadly missed.😭🙏

Alex was one of a kind, and will be missed for a long time.

Alex was a true gentleman!

He seemed like such a perfect gentleman. RIP.

Alex is one of the nicest guys in TV history

This is so great. We used some of his 90's Letterman interview for our recent Trebek story. Great little compilation you have here!

A real class act

I love how quick you are to put together these compilations when they're relevant. Thank you, Donz.

The Jeopardy! Book is brilliant. I still have my copy.

Happy 80 to Alex Trebek God Bless You and Keep on Fighting High Rollers, JEOPARDY! and Classic Concentration are my favorites

Alex was an exemplary ambassador for Canada.

Alex Trebek also appeared on “Ellen” in 2008 after recovering from his heart attack.

Alex Trebek will forever be the longest running host of J!, but to me, he'll be known as the host of High Rollers & Classic Concentration Fact: Alex has hosted 2 of the most successful revivals on television JEOPARDY! for syndication and Classic Concentration on NBC Daytime and both shows were originally born at the NBC Studios New York City which was the home to Late Night with David Letterman, Saturday Night LIVE and The Original Price is Right with the late Bill Cullen J! was at Hollywood Center Studios Hollywood, CA and now SONY Pictures Studios Culver City, CA and Classic Concentration was Videotaped at NBC Studios Burbank, CA the birthplace of High Rollers, The Original Hollywood Squares and of course, Wheel of Fortune which was born in '75 and is still on the air today God Bless You Alex Trebek, R.I.P. Quizmaster

This dude never aged, he’s 50 in this video??

Thanks Don...very much appreciated. 👍🏻

Canadians don't get enough credit for how good looking, clean cut, well speaking, smart, humble and nice they are.

16:30 Every morning radio host had this happen. I have been good for one of these every year since 1978.

That was great. Thanks Don.

This made me miss two things 1, obviously, Alex 2. When late night was good

we

Rest in Peace Alex🙏

Thanks for this, Don.

Great Canadian...RIP sir!

A legend I love you Alex

1990: "We've never been able to beat Wheel of Fortune for 7 years!" 1994: "For the past ten years he's hosted the *granddaddy* of them all, Alex Trebek!" That happened fast

Born in Canada in 1952 and remember Reach For The Top with Alex. He was always a bright, well-spoken guy.

Double Dare was tough...seems prophetic.

Funny when they talked about High Rollers, one of the three game shows NBC cancelled for Dave's morning show back in 1980.

RIP Alex Trebek.

His voice was like helium.. lighter and smoother :)

Love the Top 10 rejected Jeopardy! categories. Especially, "Canadian Sex Secrets" followed by "Things That Throb". Oh how apropos.

He is so handsome

I am not drooling here over Alex Trebek or anything..I simply express admiration for the man and what he seems to be. I never realized how incredibly handsome Alex Trebek was as a younger man...as well as witty, intelligent, articulate, refined. What a guy, what a personality!🔥😍 What a winning and fiery combination, all brewing in one person! I am left starstruck and breathless!🔥😍 As a kid, I started watching "Jeopardy"!, and it has become one of my favorite game shows and it still is to this day! My thoughts and prayers are with Alex Trebek and his family. We're all rooting for you, Alex! You will fight and defeat that ailment! You got this! 👊💪💯💯

"Excuse me, too much soda" *Uproarious laughter*

RIP to a great Canadian

Anyone else notice how Letterman correctly predicted a Buster Douglas upset?

A class act... R.I.P

Between 1978-1979,Wheel and Jeopardy were both on NBC daytime.

Were they talkin about buster douglas vs mike tyson at 5:05? One of the biggest upsets in sports history, kids

Shoutout to the Calgary Stampede! Yahoo!

Dave got some good jabs in lol

14:41 I would pay to see someone dig up that old GMA episode

20:50 showed up as a category on January 23, 2008.

you’re all heart. thanks for this and..... which Canadian gameshow host needs all our positive energy now ( in the form of a question please )

9:57 - Alex Tre-BURRRRRNNNNN

Much thanks to Mr. Trebeck!!! You made me want to be educated. I know you have a job in heaven! He was the wise man with gold! Thanks Letterman for letting me stay up past my bedtime! (Joe Dumars was the executive for the Detroit Pistons.)

Alex Trebek and Paul Shaffer are both from Northern Ontario!

I almost feel bad for laughing at the bit about the forensic pathologist, but then I think Alex might be laughing at it now, too. He did have something of a barbed sense of humor. RIP to him Merv. God bless

Sick reharm of the jeopardy theme on the second appearance...

I loved Pitfall although it was a victim of a production company bankruptcy.

Dave must have forgotten about "Time for Tony."

Nice Roots jacket Alex.

For $800: _For 30 years, he has been beloved, ageless and holding the same job as host on network television..._

Rest in peace

Well Alex was the badass with the mustache and that bomber jacket back in the day. And 9:57 nyahahahahaha nice swipe there Alex!

RIP Alex. 😟

I find life lonelier without Alex in it

@6:30, David Letterman was still on NBC in 1990?

Paul & Alex, a couple of "hosers", eh? 🙂 Grab some beers & back-bacon! MAGIC!!🙂

Rip ALEX

I knew Alex was from Sudbury but I didn't know that Paul was from Thunder Bay. So you're on David Letterman with your band the other daaaayyyyy... Also, that Top Ten list was on my 16th birthday

Who ended up winning whatever game they were talking about?

Alex smacked him in the face jeez

Rest in peace Alex Trebek

RIP THE GOAT!

30 years later...

He's not dead yet Donz.

I wonder if Alex watched the Jack Narz or Hugh Downs versions before taking the stage as new Concentration host.

He forgot to mention pitfall

that second one was on my birthday!

Damn Trebek was fine as hell

RIP Alex Trevek.

RIP Alex Trebek

That WAS a stupid part on Concentration. My eyes rolled during that part.

🤟

16:36 The 'what' is hilariously terse.

The first segment , they were talking about WoF, or was that the joke?

Doesn't mention pitfall😁

5:11 David, you probably ruined Mike Tyson with that bet...

Art Fleming hosted Jeopardy before Alex and the announcer was Don Pardo?

This is his orginal look growing up

RIP

Didn’t they do Top Ten Rejected _Jeopardy!_ Categories one other time?

Canadian Sex Secrets LOL!!!!!

the first clip would have been from 1987 since they said "Concentration is new on NBC"

$10 on Buster to win???? Was that the Tyson fight where Buster Douglas kicked his ass??

Funny they were talking about the Tyson Vs Buster Douglas fight! Buster wom that one! LOL

He's such a babe
