Saw the news on Twitter, and here's the official statement from the Jeopardy! one.
The show won't be the same without him.

This is sad 🙁 at least he's at peace now. It was an impressive battle for the cancer he had

Jeopardy was a big part of my life growing up, and I still on occasion will watch to keep my brain in shape.
RIP

I’m devastated. We watch Jeopardy every single night. He was such a respectable and grandfatherly figure.

Somewhere far beyond.
"Alex! I never got a chance to ask you. Do you remember those parodiesh of ush on Shaturday Night Live?"
"Of course, Sean. I remember being quite fond of them."
"Not as fond as I was of your mother! HA!"
But all kidding aside, and with due respect: Good Night, Sweet Prince.

I really thought he was gonna beat it even though the odds were slim. Hell of a fight, hell of an attitude.

A funny moment was at Wrestlemania 7 when The Fink introduced Alex as the co host of Jeopardy.

*sigh*.......f*** I knew this was coming, but I just...wasn't ready yet Exactly how I feel. Jeopardy has been a staple of my entire life, watching it with my grandparents or my parents every evening at supper time. Losing Alex almost feels like losing a distant great uncle, you didn’t know him that well but you always had a good time when he visited. RIP Alex Trebek

Is no one going to mention how he didn’t even get to have a few years of down time free from Sean Connery?
In all seriousness, RIP to a tv legend

For my money, the greatest game show host there ever was. May he rest after his long and tough illness.

A funny moment was at Wrestlemania 7 when The Fink introduced Alex as the co host of Jeopardy. Or when Alex called Mr. Okerlund “Jim” during a backstage segment. Until I was older, I didn’t know that he provided the voice of Alan Quebec on an episode of Rugrats. Even as a kid I knew that this character was a stand-in for Alex, right down to him telling Didi that “you don’t have to answer in the form of a question.” But I had no idea that the actual person was involved with the show. RIP.
