Crazy timing. One of my buddies was just on Jeopardy at the end of last week.

Trebek is an icon and will be missed. RIP

How far in advance did they tape shows? Tonight's episode for sure will be a highly watched one, but given how new episodes were being filmed, I wonder how many episodes they have left to air.

Alex Trebek was 44 years old when he began hosting Jeopardy! and I point that out to say that you just never know when your big break in life will come.

Saddened by his passing; he was courageous to share with all of us his brave fight with Cancer. He may be gone, but he won't soon be forgotten.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere this morning that last Fridays show was taped back in October. They said he taped 3 shows a day and his shows will run until late December. I think it was on CNN that I read it.

Bob Barker was almost 50 when he STARTED hosting Price is Right.

Even Regis I believe didn't really become a regular on anything until his 40s. His talk show and who wants to be a millionaire that people nowadays knew him for best didnt happen until his 50s and 60s.

Society nowadays focuses more on getting younger people on TV, and putting more pressure to peak early, when some of TVs biggest careers didnt get big until their 40s or 50s.

On the show they said they'll air his final 35 episodes.

If they air 1 a day, that would take us until Christmas, obviously there won't always be new episodes, so that final week before New Years is when the final episodes probably air.

Whenever it is, they better promote it. Jeopardy fans new and old will definitely be tuning in.
