Monday’s episode of Jeopardy! began by taking a moment to honor the late Alex Trebek.

Today we honor Alex Trebek. For over three decades he brought integrity, humor and intelligence to his duties as host of Jeopardy! He will be in our hearts forever.

Thank you, Alex. Love from us all. 💜 pic.twitter.com/w8abYY8SX5

Executive Producer Mike Richards appeared at the top of the show, calling Trebek’s death “an enormous loss” for the show, his family, and “millions of fans”.

The clip ended with a shot of an empty Jeopardy! set, slowly fading to black.

Today’s show features a special message on behalf of everyone in the Jeopardy! family. 💜

Alex taped shows through December 25th, 2020. They will air as he intended, in his honor.
