    Jesus Christ, this video is pure gold. No music, no fancy editing. Everything is perfect. It’s like a home VHS video but better quality. Like a grandson filming his grandad. This is the way it should be. This behind the scenes is a treasure. I am so glad this is video taped. We can remember and learn from it if Jeopardy continues in the future without Trebek.
    And you can tell that he is truly such an intelligent, wise person. Just listening to him go over the game for that day is so fascinating. The process and what it takes, anyone else can easily mess it up and make so many mistakes... but Trebek, Trebek is THE man for it.

    I adore this. It amazes me how laid back the whole production is. The clues are printed on paper instead of being displayed on a fancy computer sponsored by some company, his makeup was quick and easy, and they have a ton of books for clue research. Alex is as much of the process of creating the show's clues as the people who write them, instead of just being the host. No one seems to be the stereotypical Hollywood juggernaut that we're used to. It's a quaint and straightforward production; there's no drama, no sponsors, and the host's personality isn't the main driver of the show.
    I love this show so much and I wish more television was like it. I really appreciate you guys for making this and releasing the extended version!

      hetr it’s such a tightly run ship. The contestant handlers are fantastic and each episode is shot in about 40 minutes. (Compare that to the US version of The Chase. Each episode took 4 hours to shoot.) They make the entire production look easy.

    I will watch this again and again. Any person that loved his job like Alex Trebek should be able to live forever. He was so down-to-earth. You can tell he was extremely serious about the quality of the show and it was demonstrated with every taping. That is what made Jeopardy the favorite game show of all time. I had no idea of his love for remodeling. Wish he could have been my neighbor, would have loved his conversations and dry sense of humor. Alex, if anyone can ever fill your shoes, I will be amazed. There will be people that seem to be appropriate and will be able to host, but they can never be the true face of Jeopardy. RIP

    I love the dynamic here. Sort-of-nervous, excited young reporter and calm, jaded old staff. It feels so real, like how else do you take a camera into an environment like this and ask questions? Nervously, afraid to intrude, it feels so familiar and homey. I'm sure that sweet office of people was rocked by Alex's death, as was the world. But I hope they get to go on and make things feel normal again

    I put Alex in the same category as Mr. Rogers. Wholesome hosts. They both truly cared about their viewers and wanted to expand the world of knowledge to young and old alike. Miss them both. RIP to the best hosts ever to grace the television screen.

    I love that he has a picture of Art Fleming in his office. I have been a fan of “Jeopardy!“ so long that I remember watching the Art Fleming version, and in fact I saw a taping when I was a teenager. So it’s fun to see a little behind-the-scenes look at the show.

    What a good sport, a "gamer" and a guy who's down for fun. Many men his age would get all grumpy and scrunch their face up if asked to recite rap lyrics. Mr. Trebek does it with enthusiasm and vigor. You know he's going to be *EVEN MORE* popular now with the recent health news. Everyone is going to be pulling for him.

    The fast pace of Jeopardy is what keeps me watching. If I'm watching a game show and the make us wait until after a commercial break before seeing the answer, i change the channel and never watch the show again. And thats pretty much how all other game shows operate.

    I remember growing up in the 80s and 90s and my Dad would never miss an episode of Jeopardy!, regardless of what was going on at the time. If he was going to take me fishing, it *had* to wait until after Jeopardy! No exceptions. For that reason alone, I couldn't stand the show. As I turned into a teenager, I slowly warmed up to it, but it was most likely due to familiarity. By the time I hit my early to mid twenties, I wouldn't miss an episode. Every opportunity I got to watch it with my Dad, I did. That was something we always shared a passion for (besides football) before he passed away about thirteen years ago. At 42-years-old and three kids of my own, I am proud to say that my kids have been watching Jeopardy! since birth and although my oldest is only 9, he is as obsessed with the show as me and the Papa he never got the chance to meet. His younger brother and sister are just as enamored with the show. My wife used to hate it, but she came around shortly after we married and now she loves it as much as our kids and me. Needless to say, my entire family is really pulling for Alex to win his bout with pancreatic cancer. He's as much a part of my family as some of my blood relatives. I predict there won't be a dry eye in my house when the day finally comes that Alex Trebek is no longer the host of this iconic show. In the meantime, Godspeed, Alex! You're in our prayers.
