““Jeopardy!” paid homage to its late host Alex Trebek with a special tribute on Monday’s show. After the legendary host died over the weekend at the age of 80 following a battle with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, executive producer Mike Richards greeted viewers at the top of Monday night’s show to talk about the “enormous loss” of Trebek. “He loved this show and everything it stood for. In fact, he taped his final episodes less than two weeks ago. He will forever be an inspiration for his constant desire to learn, his kindness and for his love for his family,” said Richards. The producer went on to say that the show’s final 35 episodes featuring Trebek will air as planned because “that’s what he wanted.” He concluded the tribute with a heartfelt word of thanks to Trebek.
