RIP, Alex.

“My life has been a quest for knowledge and understanding, and I am nowhere near having achieved that,” Trebek said in a 2012 interview with The Times. “And it doesn’t bother me in the least. I will die without having come up with the answers to many things in life.”

There's a remarkable range of people responding to Trebek's passing on Twitter.  I think journalist Tommy Tomlinson tweet was especially pertinent:
