Not gonna lie to y’all, I really was going to spam this thread with nothing but Alex Trebek clips. He really was a great host and by all accounts, a pretty sweet guy too.
Makes me think of my Jeopardy! story. I almost got on the show. I watched Jeopardy! pretty much all through high school and a good chunk of college, to the point where I was downright unbeatable in trivia contests. In my sophomore year of college, I applied to be on the College Jeopardy Tournament. I flew all the way to Orlando for the weekend, did a little bit of studying for the audition but mostly spent my time wandering around the resort that the audition was taking place at (I forget where exactly but it was a big friggin’ hotel).
