NOMINATION
Rest in Peace to the one of the greatest game show hosts ever and a brilliant mind. He was also a huge inspiration to those dealing with cancer on how to stay positive through tough roads.

My father loved watching Jeopardy and trying to guess the answers. As a matter of fact, it was the last show he watched before he died in the critical care unit.

Along with Bob Barker, the GOAT. RIP.

Best exactly 30-second timer to put down your final answer, RIP Alex

For decades, whenever I went back to visit the States, I timed my evenings around watching this show with my parents. When my father was 83 and completely blind, he correctly answered a Final Jeopardy that stumped all three contestants. (I didn't know the question either.)
RIP Alex, you were the best Daily Double of all.

Another icon my generation grew up with has passed. Getting older kind of sucks. I always enjoyed the show and guessing on my own. And Alex always was pretty cool, never trying to be funny or acting obnoxious or stupid.
RIP ALEX TREBEK. You were the BEST.

Answer: A true icon of daily television. The best mustache in the game. And he was the inspiration for one of the greatest SNL skits ever.
Question: Who was Alex Trebek.
