						<p>The last episode of &#8220;Jeopardy!&#8221; hosted by <strong>late game-show legend Alex Trebek</strong> will air on Christmas Day, but the million-dollar question of who will replace him remains unanswered.</p>
<p>The 80-year-old host&#8217;s last day in the Culver City, California, studio was on Oct. 29, just over a week before his death Sunday morning at his home in Los Angeles.</p>
<p>&#8220;JEOPARDY! episodes hosted by Alex will air through December 25, 2020,&#8221; the show said in a statement.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s unclear how the show will move forward without the long-running quiz-show host &#8212; though some have <strong>speculated that champion Ken Jennings</strong> would take over hosting duties.</p>
<p>&#8220;The show is not announcing plans for a new host at this time,&#8221; they said in a statement.</p>
<p>Trebek hosted more than 8,200 episodes, setting a Guinness World Record for hosting the most episodes of a single game show.</p>
<p>He announced last year that he had been <strong>diagnosed with stage-four pancreatic cancer</strong>, but vowed to power through to film new episodes.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m going to fight this and I’m going to keep working and with the love and support from my family and friends and with the help of your prayers,&#8221; he vowed in a video released at the time.</p>
<p>Trebek was signed on to host through the 2021-2022 season at the time of his death.</p>
<p>The show&#8217;s executive producer, Mike Richards, called his death an &#8220;enormous loss for the &#8216;Jeopardy!&#8217; staff, crew and all of Alex’s millions of fans.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;He was a legend of the industry that we were all lucky to watch night after night for 37 years. Working beside him for the past year and a half as he heroically continued to host &#8216;Jeopardy!&#8217; was an incredible honor,&#8221; Richards said.</p>
<p>&#8220;His belief in the importance of the show and his willingness to push himself to perform at the highest level was the most inspiring demonstration of courage I have ever seen. His constant desire to learn, his kindness, and his professionalism will be with all of us forever.&#8221;</p>
