Yesterday on Jeopardy, Alex Trebek asked the contestants to identify some Lyrics of Today. Adam decided to give his try at the $1,000 question, which meant that the host had to ask them to tell him who sang these words, “New man on the Minnesota Vikings, Truth hurts, needed something more exciting, Bom bom bi bom bi dum bum bay.”
You can’t read the lyrics without singing them, that is exactly what he did for Lizzo’s song. Since the Truth Hurts, we will say that he did a perfect rendition of it!
Alex Trebeck once again proves why he is a national treasure.

For the last few years. we have been hearing all about the British Royals, but how well do we know them? That is what Jeopardy wanted to know. Therefore, Alex Trebeck asked them five questions.
How well did they do? There was one question that stumped us all. Will you be able to answer it with a question? If you can, then you deserve to sit on the throne and wear the crown.
A year ago, Alex Trebek revealed to the world that he has Stage IV Pancreatic cancer. The survival rate for someone who has it, to make it a year is just 18%. As you can see, he is one of the 18%. That is why he chose now to give us an update on his health.
“I’d be lying if I said the journey had been an easy one. There were some good days, but a lot of not-so-good days. I joked with friends that the cancer won’t kill me, the chemo treatments will.
“There were moments of great pain, days when certain bodily functions no longer functioned and sudden, massive attacks of great depression that made me wonder if it really was worth fighting on.”
However, those feelings did not last long because he did not want to betray the people who love and care for him. One of those groups of people is others who are also going through cancer. He has some advice for them, “If I, no, we, because so many of us are involved in this same situation, if we take it just one day at a time with a positive attitude, anything is possible.”
That is why his doctor told him that even though the 2-year survival rate is only 7%, his physician is “certain Trebek will be there getting an update from him.
I guess you can say he is out of Jeopardy. Only from cancer and not the show that he hosts.
Seriously, he is a role model because he shows us that we do have a chance of beating even the most incurable of cancers. I will take, that is inspiring news for $2,000, Alex.
The other night on Jeopardy, they had a category called Band Emojis. Which is exactly as it sounds. They combined emojis to create band names. It is really easy, and lots of fun. So much so, I decided to try it out myself.
Yesterday on Jeopardy, they had a whole category dedicated to Survivor, and Jeff Probst read the questions. They did this in honor of the competition show celebrating its 40th season and 20th year on television.
When they were done with the category (that I totally sucked at), Alex Trebeck had something to say. He told the cameras, “I can’t believe that Survivor has been on the air four years longer than Jeopardy. And Jeff has not changed one bit in appearance. And look at me. I need a break.”
After the break, he had something else to say, “I am feeling so relieved. I found out during the commercial break that Survivor, although it’s in its 40th season right now, it’s only in its 20th year. So I’m feeling like I am looking pretty good, after all.” I will take, that he is for $2,000.
The tribe has spoken, and Alex Trebeck is such a treasure. How can you not love him? It is nice to see him make a joke at his expense, and then a better one when it wasn’t.
