Toots
Great show and a great, very likeable contestant. It was great watching and cheering him on, along with the rest of the country, to see how long his winning streak would last! And 66 episodes was amazing!
Mama Crow
Most recently, James was on a record-breaking path, also.

Alex is the best thing about that show and it sucks seeing him have to fight cancer. He certainly left his mark on this world, I just hope he gets to enjoy the time he has left.

Jeopardy! is my favorite show. I watch it almost everyday.A long time ago, I unsuccessfully auditioned to be on the show. When Alex Trebek died, Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialek were my two favorites to replace him. I am glad that they are hosting the show.

Incredible by both men. Unfortunately, it is hard for me to watch the show anymore. It's just not the same without Alex Trebek.. :'(
