    Sad but I'm sure Alex is not sad as he met Jesus in glory today.

    Well, that's the answer to my usual response of "Hope he knew Jesus!"

    I thought Alex was a Christian?

    This article seems to hint that Alex was a believer.

    At the end it says: Trebek is inspiring the world right now with both his strength and his strong Christian faith.

    Well apparently, he seems confused in what he believes saying one thing and then another. Now, I'm not sure if he was saved or not? I guess wherever he is in eternity, he's a believer now, and his afterlife opinion is not wavering.

    If you read that article and video, he never mentions his Christian faith. That's just something the writer injected for no seeming reason. Hopefully he did accept Jesus somewhere in all that.

    Well, I thought he did a great job as Jeopardy host, and I admire the graceful and positive way he handled himself after his cancer was detected.

    One article talked about what pain he would be in in the dressing room and them telling him they could cancel the taping, but he would gather himself and go back out. Handled it gracefully and positively indeed.

    I remember Alex hosting High Rollers back in '75. As a teen I would watch that now and then.
