“Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek spent the final hours of his life doing exactly what he wanted to be doing on his last day on the planet.
Executive producer Mike Richards said, ”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. He was coherent, he wasn’t in pain and the fact that he had a nice, final day makes all of us in the Jeopardy! family feel much better.”
The backyard swing Trebek loved was one that he rebuilt himself earlier in the year.
Trebek filmed his final episode on Oct. 29, and Richards said he could tell Trebek was in tremendous pain. The episode will air on Christmas Day
