Thank You From Alex Trebek | JEOPARDY!
Jeopardy! Youtube page ^ | March 14, 2019 | Alex Trebek

“Hi everyone, I just want to take a few moments to say thanks to the – believe it or not – hundreds of thousands of people who have sent in tweets, texts, emails, cards and letters wishing me well following my recent health announcement. I’ve heard from former contestants – even Watson, the IBM computer, sent me a get-well card.

Now obviously, I won’t be able to respond to all of you individually, but I do want you to know that I do read everything I receive. And I am thankful for the kind words, the prayers and the advice you have offered, and I’m extremely touched by the warmth you have expressed in your comments to me. I’m a lucky guy.”

Not many I would invite into my living room as much a I invented Trebek’s version of Jeopardy. That show has been around a long time, and there were others before him, but Trebek’s work will always be remembered.

I loved playing Jeapordy along with the show. Unfortunately I never learned the habit of phrasing the answer in terms of a question. Other than that, I surprised myself with how many answers I got right.

“But you in invented Jeopardy?”

You formed the answer correctly but, [obnoxious tone] your question was incorrect. Your turn, nopardons.

I really don't know WHY you pinged me, but the correct answer would be: WHO INVENTED JEOPARDY?, I think.

If that's wrong, my only excuse is that I've only seen that show a couple of times and that was decades ago.

Just wondering if you’re still up and taking nourishment, o pal, o buddy. Haven’t seen you around.

I judge your answer to be correct! Your turn to pick.

Was just logging off when I saw your ping.

I'm not here much any more and mostly just read a few threads here and there; though I do post replies every now and again.

Oh good, I wasn't sure that was correct, but I posted it with a caveat.

LOL...what are the categories?
