Alex Trebek passed away last week after a long battle with cancer. He was 80-years-old. A statement at the time of his death on Sunday read:

A “Jeopardy!” spokesperson told TMZ, “Jeopardy is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning, surrounded by family and friends.”

Trebek’s death was a hit to many people. Anyone who met Trebek loved him. He continued to host Jeopardy even as his stage 4 pancreatic cancer worsened. He simply loved to host the show.

Adam Thielen and the Minnesota Vikings battle the Chicago Bears for Monday Night Football, in a game that could have playoff ramifications.
