News Alex Trebek has passed away

One of the unfortunate things that happened before he ended up being host of Jeopardy, was working on Pitfall, a Canadian gameshow. The concept was itself was pretty interesting, with the set having a series of elevators where each contestants would either rise or fall depending on their success, but it unfortunately ended up in disaster as the production company ended up going bankrupt and he ended up not getting paid.

I wish I could have met him

I had a childhood friend who claimed he was related to him. I never ended up knowing if that was true or not, but it's certainly possible as they were both from the same city, and his Dad looked like he could have been related. One day he'd told me Trebek was in town visiting.
