This beloved quiz show host has poted his last potable.

Ken Jennings’ tweet says it all:
Alex wasn’t just the best ever at what he did. He was also a lovely and deeply decent man, and I’m grateful for every minute I got to spend with him. pic.twitter.com/CdHCcbqmp2

Just because we saw this coming doesn’t make it go down any better.
My first thought, was that’s so sad, my mother will really be upset because she watched Jeopardy religiously and really liked Alex Trebek. Then I remember she died a little over a year ago. My mom and I agreed on a lot of things, but probably our biggest disagreement was about believing in God. So if it turns out she was right, she won’t be upset because Alex Trebek is probably getting ready to host a heavenly Jeopardy. If I am right, she won’t be upset because she is beyond caring about anything. But even though I know with near absolute certainty (near because Trebek may have had a hidden dark side for all I know) I find myself tremendously depressed right now. I wonder why…
