Additionally, Jeopardy! executive producer Mike Richards shared just how Trebek spent his last day with his wife. “Even in his book, he described that he wanted his final day to be sitting on his swing next to his wife, Jean, and kind of watching the horizon and he got to do that,” Richards says in the interview.

Trebek hosted more than 8,000 episodes of the popular game show since 1984. He frequently talked about how much he loved hosting the show and credited fans for helping him and supporting him during his cancer treatments.
