“Jeopardy!” paid an emotional tribute to Alex Trebek on the first show since his death.
Trebek died Sunday at the age of 80 after battling pancreatic cancer, and his passing is one of the most high-profile deaths in recent Hollywood memory. (RELATED: ‘Jeopardy!’ Host Alex Trebek Dead After Pancreatic Cancer Fight)
Damn, I’d be lying if I said Richards’ words didn’t hit hard. Trebek’s success spanned decades, and he became a major figure in the entertainment world.
