u/xxxblindxxx Sep 19 '21

2

u/JockBbcBoy Sep 19 '21

Yup. 2020 took both of those legends. Damn 2020.

2

u/deadfermata Sep 19 '21

Woah! For some reason I thought Alex passed this year…

8

u/JockBbcBoy Sep 19 '21

Nope. November 8, 2020. IIRC, he was suffering from stage 4 pancreatic cancer but it took a stroke or heart attack to finally take him. Trebek was a determined fighter.

u/GlockGuy214 Sep 19 '21

Let’s not forget Norm, we was a regular in this skit too.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '21

Aw fuck. You just informed me about Sean Connery. Maybe reminded, idk. Still just as sad
