I learned English after I immigrated to the US by watching TV. Game shows made up a huge part of that learning; Jeopardy was my favorite. It was a lifelong goal for me to get there.
Thank you, Alex Trebek. You’ve changed the trajectory of people’s lives without even knowing it.
I’m incredibly privileged to have met you. You were / are / will be a legend among legends.
