Such a part of my daily existence was to play Jeopardy nightly with my spouse, usually while eating dinner at the breakfast bar in the kitchen, rooting for the quirky contestants and self-congratulating myself when responding with the correct questions before them.

RIP Alex.

He was a great host for a great show that I've enjoyed for many years.

Here's the WaPo article on his passing, and the Wikipedia entry which indicates he was 80.

RIP Alex. I grew up watching Jeopardy with my grandmother. Amazing he continued hosting despite a tough illness like he had. He will be missed.
