  1. I remember in 1984, for the revived version of Jeopardy, they hired Alex as the host because they show would have a long run and they felt that needed a young host like Alex. They got more than they bargained for.

  2. Concentration, Jeopardy, and To Tell The Truth. Im 31 years old and only heard of one<3 Ill ask my mom about the other two shows. RIP ALEX. You will be remembered and loved forever.

  3. I grew up with my grandparents watching his show Jeopardy when I was really young and he will be dearly missed. 😥

  4. He’s so right about humor being a cure. Believe me, I use it in most everything I do to break tension and make people’s days.
