It seems that Jeopardy! is hoping to distract fans a bit from the drama surrounding the new host of the show. Recently, executive producer Mike Richards was chosen as the new daily host. He later quit after some of his lawsuits and offensive remarks were uncovered. Instead of addressing this on social media, the Instagram account is taking a different approach.
The latest post shares some throwback photos of the late Alex Trebek. It shares photos from his trip to the Galápagos Islands. In the photos, Alex is seen next to a gigantic turtle, with a life vest near the water, and next to a sleeping seal. Near the seal, he fakes sleeping as if they are taking a little nap together.
