“Did you mean: Who is Alex Trebek?” — a reference to how a contestant on the show would have to respond to clues after buzzing in when they think they know the answer.
Google isn’t the only one who has found a way to honor the late host. Minnesota Vikings Adam Thielen paid tribute to Trebek in November during the Monday Night Football pregame with special cleats that had his name and image on them.
For #MNF pregame tonight my guy @athielen19 will be honoring the legend Alex Trebek who passed last week. I feel like no matter where you were from I feel like Jeopardy was a part of all of our lives in some way. #skol pic.twitter.com/1itrgOM4M8
