    We are so very sad to share the news that “Jeopardy” host and longtime tv personality Alex Trebek has unfortunately lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. He passed away early Sunday morning at home, surrounded by family and friends.

    Trebek had been publicly battling the illness since 2019, and had been very public about the struggle.

    Ryan Reynolds just shared this tidbit about Trebek having a cameo in the film “Free Guy.”

    Alex Trebek was kind enough to film a cameo for our film Free Guy last year despite his battle. He was gracious and funny. In addition to being curious, stalwart, generous, reassuring and of course, Canadian. We love you, Alex. And always will.

    He was 80 years old, and we will no doubt not see his like on television again.

    Our thoughts go out to his family, friends, and fans the world over.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
