Alex Trebek was a legend. So wholesome and kind as a host, with just enough sass to make us laugh. It was a kick in the gut when I saw his announcement about his cancer, and hearing about his decline and eventual passing was heartbreaking. And seeing you react to all this just made my day :)

Jeopardy is a big deal to certain American fans. It is indeed a very iconic show. I remember making and playing games based off of the concept of this show all throughout school.

My mom was on Jeopardy in 1994-she came in second. She still watches every night and we miss Alex very much!

I was a contestant on Jeopardy! several years ago. I lost badly, but being a contestant and getting to meet Alex Trebek was my dream come true from when I was a little kid. God bless Alex!

We would sing the theme song to Jeopardy as a way to get people to hurry up. Good times.

Jeopardy was one of the shows that used to come on that I'd watch with my family as a kid. We couldn't afford cable then so this one was one of the free shows we would watch. Yall should watch wheel of fortune!!

I grew up with Alex hosting jeopardy. I didn't watch it all the time but it was always a decent show to watch. Sometimes I felt so smart when I had a good run. And I was sad when he got his diagnosis & again when he passed. He was jeopardy. Its hard to watch without him but I do once in a while.

I'm SO GLAD you guys are reacting to Jeopardy! This is such a huge part of so many peoples' childhoods!

God, watching his announcement had me in tears. Seeing him talk about how he was going to beat it, knowing how it all unfolded. It’s gut-wrenching.

RIP Alex Trebek, he will always be the face and voice of Jeopardy 🙏🏾

I'm old enough to remember the original host, Art Flemming. But Alex is who I came to associate with the show, and seeing his cancer announcement always makes me tear up. I was so proud of his announcement, and have had to resign myself to their choosing of a new host.

RIP Alex. :( And it's only a 1/2 and hour show, so there is a time limit on each round so they race to get all the questions done. You guys should react to Funny Game Show fails. Allot of laughs there.

The long time host was Alex Trebek who was proud of being a Canadian and insisted on a Canadian content category or question on every episode. He just passed away from a long battle with pancreatic cancer. He will be very missed.

Love this reaction! I was a 4-day champion back in 2011…won about $53,000. I promise that not ALL of us are that odd. 🤪 Those fixed camera shots in the beginning….stressful!

i love jeopardy, Alex trebek was and still is my idol. rip we miss you alex

We used to play “Jeopardy” in nursing school to get ready for exams. Well, at the very end of review sessions. It was one of the very few relaxing, fun times of nursing school! 😂 And yes, it’s generally a thing that to make it onto Jeopardy, you need to possess above-average intelligence. Or at least know a little bit about a wide variety of subjects, and be quick with the buzzer!

Takes me back to my childhood, sitting in my grandparents living room watching JEOPARDY with my Granddad while my Grandma was cooking dinner. I was always amazed at how many and what questions my Granddad got right and as I grew up he was amazed at how many and what questions I got right! 😀 Good memories. 💕Thanks!

Glad you were able to discover Alex Trebeck. He is an American Icon. In the same category as Walt Disney and Mr. Rogers. Our family was always going in different directions. But at 7pm every weekday the whole family would gather for 30 minutes to watch Jeopardy. From Grandma to the toddler. The whole family.

In my school we would actually play jeopardy themed based on the class before tests or quizzes. Not in every class obviously, but with the fun teachers.

The feeling you get when you know an answer before the contestants is unmatched 😂 That’s what makes this show so fun, it’s very interactive and it’s just random knowledge

I actually started tearing up watching Alex again in this video. I cannot understate how much Jeopardy and Alex in particular were a part of American culture

As a theater major, I was over here SCREAMING "Stanislovski, The Method." It's the only time that field of study has ever come in handy and no one was here to see it. XD

I am currently suffering from the same thing that took Alex from us. He was such a strong man, and an inspiration to me.💜

I feel like Jeopardy is such a staple in so many Americans’ lives, heck, practically everyone knows the final Jeopardy theme and it’s always used when trying to get someone to hurry up or let them know they’re running out of time to do something

I teared up again seeing that speech. Alex Trebek was an icon and a class-act. He is very missed.

i grew up watching him, and the show definitely isn't the same. but the memories of him hosting will always have a special place in my heart

In my area, Jeopardy came on TV at noon on one channel, and at 6pm on another channel. The exact same episode. I happened to watch the noon one, and that evening my husband turned it on, and I answered every question correctly! My husband was amazed at my genius! Until I started laughing, and had to tell him how I knew all the answers!

Jeopardy is a great show, it’s great to see many people watching this show as it is apart of many peoples including my childhood. Alex was and still is the best host I have ever seen. R.I.P to the beloved king.

I’m not even making this up: one of my earliest memories was of my parents watching Jeopardy. I am one of those people who grew up watching Alex Trebek, and I always looked up to him. It was one of the few celebrity deaths that actually hit me really hard. I don’t think there’s a soul out there that doesn’t love Alex.

Thank you for watching the Jeopardy videos and learning about that legendary show and Alex Trebek! He was an amazing host and man , respectable and honorable are the things that come to mind thinking of him. They have been trying to fill the show with temporary host and it hasnt worked out the best so far. With out him its just not the same. I was so sad to hear he passed. Again thank you for respecting him and showing us your reactions. I grew up watching that show my whole life literally !! Great memories !!

When I was a kid in the 80s, the whole family always watched this show. I also played the videogames, they were tough lol! Hey watch Price is Right next :D

I grew up watching Jeopardy with my grandparents. I cried when he announced his diagnosis and really grieved when he passed away!

Wow! I've been watching Jeopardy since I was a kid and always assumed it debuted in the 80s. I had no idea it was that old! The show makes me very nostalgic; it was one of the few things we watched together as a family.

When I was in highschool we used to have a substitute teacher who was on Jeopardy at one time. She had the distinction of being the only sub that was never pranked because she was the "Jeopardy lady"

My grandma would always watch Jeopardy! This brings back memories of watching at her house!

So many game show contestants now give their answers in the form of a question, even though Jeopardy is the only show that requires it.

I remember watching this in the late 80’s early 90’s. Loved it! Zoey your hair is the bomb long! It suits you girl. Have an awesome day x

Omg their reactions to Carlos' expressions 😂

I’m glad they named the studio after him

Jeopardy is such an American staple in homes. A good family night of fun, competing with each other on who answers most... such a loss this pass year of a kind hearted man. Glad you guys were able to experience a little bit of a great show.

I remember watching this show with my family at the same time every night. It was so fun trying to get the right answer. We would place bets for fun and see how many we would get right

I grew up watching him on Jeopardy, and it was one of my favorite shows for so many years. I was so sad when it was announced that he was sick, and I was devastated when he died. Rest in peace, Alex, thanks for all the memories.

The way I laughed and then cried watching this video. I used to watch Jeopardy with my grandparents and it was difficult when we heard the news. This was a special video. Great job ❤

My science teacher was on jeopardy and he'd make us watch his clip every year in class lol.

I have such fond memories of nights when we got to eat dinner in the living room as a small, but close family of me, my brother and mom. We would watch Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy and Who's Line is it Anyway? This tradition made up so much of my childhood. And of course when you got to stay home sick and watch The Price is Right in the morning.

I watched Jeopardy way back in the mid 1960’s on those days I didn’t have school. It came on at 11 AM weekdays in the Chicago area.

Final Question music and the other music's written by Merv Griffin who owned this show and Wheel Of Fortune.

I wish you guys could have seen that at his last Episode of hosting jeopardy, a contestant wrote for his answer “ We Love You Alex” and it made him super emotional

My mom grew up watching Alex host Jeopardy since she was about 7 or so, then I also grew up watching him host it as well. He was a legend, and was amazing at hosting the show. He is missed by many.

I grew up watching Jeopardy and Alex Trebek was a household name. He was a legend for his dry humor and being the best game show host. Since his death there has been a few guest hosts but it's not the same. His last episode was filled with tears but a lot of love, too.

I LOVE JEOPARDY. I used to watch it every day with my mom, and we would try to say the answers faster than each other. It's so fun and I have great memories with her watching this show! RIP Alex Trebek

It’s weird how you can take something like Jeopardy for granted… I didn’t watch it every day, but often watched it with my Grandma. Miss Alex Trebek, seriously the best game show host of all time.

This past summer, in the town Alex was born in, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, a local artist there painted a mural on the side of a school with Alex's likeness on it. It was one of what he looked like when he still had dark hair and a bushy mustache. That's how I first remembered him when I started watching Jeopardy.

I've never seen the show but I used to play Jeopardy quite a bit in middle school. We would use Jeopardy in class to review for an upcoming test or quiz in English and history. Also in 6th grade, before a big break like Thanksgiving or spring break, the entire grade would play Jeopardy in the cafeteria for the whole day. One time, we got to wear pajamas. It was so much fun! I loved it :)

Alex Trebek was one of those people where it didn’t matter who or what you were, everyone loved him. He and jeopardy was a big part of many people’s childhoods including mine and i was so sad when he died.

this show is so nostalgic for me :( it reminds me of my childhood. i watched this show with my mom all the time when i was in middle school. alex trebek was a legend, i remember feeling so heartbroken when he passed away. rest in peace alex, you are missed dearly ❤️

Thank you ladies. As a Canadian and fan of Alex Trebek (despite rarely watching Jeopardy) I was touched by your treatment of both his involvement in the show and his subsequent illness. He represented the best of us on the world stage while he was alive. Thanks again and as always, love your channel!

Jeopardy is so iconic. In America, if you ask someone a question and they take a long time to answer, or if you're waiting for someone to do something and they're taking their sweet time, you can bet someone will start passive aggressively humming the theme song. We also might react to certain situations like we're choosing an answer from the board. For instance, your friend says something stupid? "I'll take Bullshit for 500, Alex."

Aww love that you two reacted to Jeopardy. I used to watch it all the time growing up and would keep track of how many questions I got right. The music is classic- sometimes if someone is taking a long time to think of something, people will start singing the Jeopardy theme song lol. RIP Alex Trebek :(

Ladies, thank you so much for paying such kind respect to our beloved Alex Trebek. He was a wonderful, brilliant, talented, humble man, full of humor and humility. He was a Television legend for nearly 50 amazing years. He was so loved, here in the US and in his home country of Canada. No matter how famous he was, he was grounded and down to earth. Every day he was announced on Jeopardy! you'll note that they introduced him as "the host", not the "star". He insisted on this. He was adamant that the players, not he, was the star of the show. He had numerous shows over the years, but Jeopardy! became his real home in the industry. Being the host of Jeopardy! is a full time job, almost a lifestyle in and of itself, but Alex always made sure he had time for his family. He was an incredible father and did DIY house projects with both his son and daughter on a regular basis. He was one of a kind, truly without equal, and he is missed every day. ♥We love you Alex. Rest in Peace.

I really liked watching Jeopardy whenever I had nothing to do. It was quite fun knowing some of the answers to the questions, and I even felt so smart knowing them haha! Many people including I will truly miss Alex.

omg her hand shaking at 8:23 has me CRYING rn she was SHOOK

@2:30 only one person had over 70 games (Ken Jennings @8:48) 😏😏 but good that newer people are recognizing this trivia show!!

Alex Trebek was a great man. He was a big part of my childhood. Up there with Pat Sajak and Vanna White, Bob Ross, and Mr. Rodgers even. Love this video. You really showed off how fun and wonderful the show is, and how great Mr. Trebek was. 😭👍

ahhh jeopardy! such an iconic game show here in the states, even if you weren't an avid watcher you are still well aware of the show. i watch it all the time with family even though we hardly know any of the answers! when he passed it was truly heart breaking. he was such a lovely man :( rip alex trebek

Aww y’all got my third win! (Yes this is really Carlos the contestant!) This video was a joy to watch!

I think you would like Kids Jeopardy and they even had celebrities as contestants (they competed for money for charity)

The people who go on Jeopardy and do well really do study for a lot for it. My former coworker (we work at the library - I think a lot of librarians make it on the show!) was on Jeopardy a few years ago. I remember he prepared for months before trying out, and studied again for months until he went to film it. We would help him study. He did well enough to buy a house, which I thought was so cool. It was funny because after he filmed it he came back to work and wasn't allowed to tell us how well he did until the show aired.

You will forever hear the Jeopardy song, it's so catchy it will just pop into your mind. Waiting in line= Jeopardy song. Thinking for a while= Jeopardy song. I haven't watched Jeopardy for years prior to this video and the Jeopardy song always come to mind. I'm a 95' er and use to watch it when I was younger but I hadn't for actually 10 years, and the Jeopardy song never fails XD

If you watch a whole program, its actually Crazy impressive how much these people know about EVERYTHING My Grandma went blind in old age, and she used to memorize the board by listening to it when they started, and would still get 75% of questions right. She was truly amazing, and said the show helped her keep a young mind.

I love watching you guys especially at night it makes me not to overthink about stuff and whenever i watch your video's its like everything is gone and all is left is your videos and how funny you are and everything am really glad i found you guys 💖

Yep, i am one of the kids who grew up on jeopardy! As you were watching i was answering the questions with lethal precision! Oh man, many fond memories. It was one of few shows the family wouldn’t argue about watching on our 1 tv. The favourites were jeopardy, wheel of fortune, bumper stumpers, (you should try a reaction to bumper stumpers it was wicked and would definitely challenge your english skills to the max). Oh price is right was another huge favourite. If your looking for a comedy variety show to react to, the oldy’s we loved as kids were the Carol Burnette show, Hee Haw, and a modern day comedy variety show that’ll split your ribs laughing so hard is Whose line is it hosted by Drew Carey. Alex Trebek was iconic, and as a fellow Canadian it was cool seeing him on tv knowing he was Canadian.

Jeopardy is still on the air, but after a series of guest hosts for several months, there are two people presently sharing the hosting duties. As of today, November 1, 2021, former "Big Bang Theory" actress Mayim Bialik has been hosting for a few months. Fairly soon, all-time "Jeopardy" champion Ken Jennings, who was the first guest host, will take over for a few months to finish the present 2021-2022 season for the show. I still miss Alex though. He had hosted a few other game shows prior to this, but it was by far his longest running hosting gig. He even held the Guinness World Record for the longest run of a game show with one presenter.

You might be interested in seeing Family Feud, it's another long running game show in America. Very funny premise that has LOADS of funny/fail moments that could be fun for you guys to see.

My parents are older than Jeopardy! Dad was born 1939 and my Mom in 1949 and they are both still alive and healthy.......damn. Episodes were 22-26 mins long without commercials. Alex was the man. He was such a familier face for so long and it did sadden me when he told everyone and when he died. R.I.P Alex

Alex Trebek was such a beloved fixture in so many American homes. There are very few people who could be in the public eye for 37 years and manage to be loved by all who knew him, or watched him on TV. He was irreplaceable.

Omg this just reminded me of how much I LOVE JEOPARDY. I watched this every day

The idea for Jeopardy was presented by Julann, Merv Griffin's wife. This was around the time of the big quiz show scandal in the '50s in which cheating scandals were found. To prevent any further cheating, all game shows were terminated from television. Julann suggested to Merv, "why don't you give them the answers and have contestants come up with the questions?" For example, 5,280: How many feet are in a mile? The show was originally called "What's the Question?" Executives went to Merv and said, "this show doesn't have enough jeopardies." And thus, the show was then called Jeopardy.

I grew up watching some episodes of jeopardy when I was in elementary mid-early 2000s with my grandma who passed in 2017. The only thing I remember is music in jeopardy which I still hum to this day. My grandma watch this show so much and gospel church prayers on her box tv.

I grew up watching Alex Trebek. When he announced his cancer, I cried. When I watched him continue to host through treatment being so strong despite knowing how sick he was off camera, I wept. And when I heard the news that he had passed, I bawled. The world lost one incredible man. So respected, so loved. Only comparable to Mr. Rogers in my opinion. You should check him out if you haven’t already. Bring tissues if you do. 💜

FUN FACT: 8:42 The guy who responded "What's a hoe?", Ken Jennings holds the record for the most games won in a regular Jeopardy! play with 74 games accumulating a total amount of $2,520,700. And another fact is he is the current host of the current season of Jeopardy!

As someone who grew up with Alex hosting Jeopardy, and has worked with patients who had pancreatic cancer, I was so devastated when he announced his diagnosis. But I was also grateful he told us himself, and kept his treatment and how he did things as much on his terms as possible. The show is still great, but so different without him.

My family watched jeopardy almost every night together. My mom would answer -legit- every single question. We used to beg her to go on the show! She'd always say "oh, but I dont know much about math or science," but she always seemed to know them anyway. 🙄 She just sucks up information! When we were older, my sisters and I made jeopardy our drinking game. I'm 39, spent my whole life watching Jeopardy. Losing Alex Trebek was heartbreaking. The man is a national treasure.

You could do a whole live stream reacting to a Jeopardy episode. Lots of good times have been had between family, friends, even strangers, competing alongside the contestants as they watch the show. Fond memories.

7:01 You're right, that music (which is called "Think", composed by the late Merv Griffin) has been around for a while. Since day one, 37 years ago.

As a friend of Carlos he and I are both loving this.

Jeopardy is a big part of my childhood. I watched it with my grandma growing up.

I was on Jeopardy on 26 November 2020. Got to meet Alex (filming took place ~3 months prior to air), got a copy of his memoirs (as did everyone else who competed that day), and came in third, but I was up against people who were just quicker on the buzzer. You don't have to study for years, per se, but you have to know a little about a lot to do well. Sometimes the categories work in your favor, and other times, they are a horrible selection.

I grew up watching Jeopardy! and the other game show created by Merv Griffin, Wheel of Fortune. They aired back to back on local TV channel 7 in the NYC metro area.

i just want to say i really love this channel and I've been binge watching all your videos the past 2 weeks. im so happy i found y'all 🥰

Jeopardy is honestly such a huge part of American culture and Alex Trebek will always be our Canadian king, thank you guys for reacting to the show!

Trebek was a master in his discipline. Not in hosting or in trivia, but rather that he was someone who not only dared to continue to be educated as the world around him became catered more and more to the opposite, but also encouraged his viewers to join him as he did so. 이 훌륭한 사람을 키워주셔서 감사합니다잉~

i never realized that non americans would have no idea about this show. it's like the most iconic show ever

I loved watching Jeopardy and listening to Alex Trebek. Another favorite show, The Price is Right, had Bob Barker as a long time host. Bob Barker would always ask viewers to spay and neuter their pets at the end of the show. Bob Barker was known as an animal lover and used his platform to avoid overcrowding in animal shelters.

I love ya’lls opinions on things and different shows, it’s so enlightening seeing different views on things even like jeopardy lol.

As you said, so many of us grew up with Jeopardy and Alex every evening, Monday - Friday, at 7:00pm, for just 30 minutes. I didn't watch religiously every day, but I was a fan, for sure. Alex is missed so very much.

Three things of note: A. The host of the color episode, Alec Trebek, died November 2020. He was host from 1984 until his death. B. There is an American comedy song "I Lost on Jeopardy" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNyFjcybqtuydIU.html C. Each contestants must pass a minimum knowledge test. All residents in the US may try, but only those who pass the test will be put in lottery to appear on television.

I wish you guys reacted to the contestant who wrote, "We love you Alex" instead of the final Jeopardy 😭

I had to smile when she said that about the 1964 show that the year i was born lol

Alex Trebek was such an institution. I really thought he was going to overcome his cancer, he was so iconic. Miss him.
