More than a year and half after announcing, on the Jeopardy! show, that he had stage 4 pancreatic cancer, George Alexander "Alex" Trebek died peacefully, early this morning.

While it has not been quite the daily addiction for me lately, that it was for many years, I still have the DVR set to record every episode of Jeopardy! and probably actually watch three or four episodes a month.
