about Alex Trebek
)
:
"I'm really missing him a lot and I know viewers are too. I really feel that we had to grapple with the fact that it's not going to be Alex now, we all wish it was, I wish it was, but in a perfect world he would host 'Jeopardy!' for a thousand years, but there's no replacing that man. He was just so perfect at that job. I wanted for people to know at the top of the show that we're grieving too and we miss him too, but 'Jeopardy!' still goes on,"

about Alex Trebek
)
:
"It's going to be 'Jeopardy!' and we want it to feel like 'Jeopardy!' which is tricky because people associate that with Alex's face and Alex's voice, but he always said, 'I'm not the star of the show.' He never wanted the announcer to say 'Here's the star of 'Jeopardy!'' To him, the gameplay and the contestants were always the stars and it's just so refreshing. I can't think of anyone in the modern TV landscape who would insist that he not be called the star, you know. And we're going to try to honor that. The gameplay is still going to be the same, the contestants are still going to be great, there are some fantastic games coming up,"
