Final Week Of 'Jeopardy!' Episodes Hosted By Alex Trebek To Begin Airing Monday
CULVER CITY (CBSLA) — The final week of "Jeopardy!" episodes hosted by Alex Trebek will begin airing Monday.
Trebek delivers what a "Jeopardy!" publicist called "a powerful message about the season of giving" at the top of Monday's episode.
On Friday night, Trebek's last episode will conclude with a special tribute to his life and work.
When the five episodes were taped in late October no one knew they would be Trebek's last. Trebek died on Nov. 8 from pancreatic cancer at age 80.
