Sentimental video tribute closes Trebek’s final “Jeopardy!”
(AP) – More than two months after Alex Trebek’s death, fans of “Jeopardy!” finally got the chance to say goodbye.
A video tribute to the host closed Friday’s episode of the quiz show, the final one that Trebek taped before pancreatic cancer claimed his life on Nov. 8.
The 90-second montage, set to Hugh Jackman singing the song “Once Before I Go,” is a lighthearted and laughter-filled remembrance showing Trebek’s changing look through his 36 years as host.
It shows Trebek with a mustache and without, dancing and verbally sparring with contestants.
It ends with Trebek saying “so long” to viewers through the decades.
