"Those who cannot accept the past are condemned to revise it." -- Geo. Mathias

The German word for contraceptive is “Schwangerschaftsverhütungsmittel”. By the time you finished saying that, it’s too late

Thankfully, he lived to see America’s deliverance.

RIP, Mr. Trebek.

Life has changed. So sad for all of us. We really enjoyed this man.

He fought the good fight - pancreatic cancer is a harsh mistress.
RIP

RIP Alex, I really enjoyed your work.

"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke
“Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." - Eli Weisel

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"I don’t want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it." - Billy Graham 1981

"Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise" - Barry Goldwater

Rest in Peace Alex. He was a class act, one of the greats in TV history. I've always loved Jeopardy.

Mr. Lahey: A lot of people, don’t know how to drink. They drink against the grain of the liquor. And when you drink against the grain of the liquor? You lose.

Randy: What the @#$%& are you talking about?

So sad. At least he got to see Biden Elected before he passed.

RIP

And so he sends us off with his final question to all of us.

RIP, Mr Trebek. You entertained millions and millions, educating some along the way whether they knew it or not.

This was a sweet moment from an episode that aired just a few days ago. He certainly touched a lot of people.

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." (1987) -- Carl Sagan

Jeez, I think I may have posted something in the Connery thread about Trebek having the last laugh — not by much, as it turns out.

Epitaph. Perfect.

Very sad ... but a truly good person, he's said that how he was on air is pretty much how he really was in person.

Edit: the link that Bo posted to the twitter video ... that's an even shorter clip than the one I saw, where the gentleman said that he learned diction because of Alex Trebek, and Alex himself was welling up after the gentleman's story. What made it especially poignant was the fact that the video is from literally maybe a week or two ago, the guy had Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and was working almost all the way to the end.

A great loss, and from all reports, an intelligent gentleman in an industry filled with lesser folk.

This was amazing to me: His last day taping in the studio was October 29.

....they have enough taped shows until December 25th......
