这位深受观众喜爱的电视明星英俊潇洒，作为10多个日间游戏节目的主持人，他第一次为美国观众所熟知，这些节目可以追溯到1966年，包括《豪赌客》、《双重挑战》和《12.8万美元的问题》
但那是“危险!”这是一个独特的智力竞赛节目，向参赛者提出了从历史、文学到流行文化的挑战，使特雷贝克成为流行文化的偶像。在他30年的节目生涯中，他主持了近8200集，创下了吉尼斯世界纪录。
索尼影业娱乐公司董事长兼首席执行官托尼·文森特拉在一份声明中说:“今天，我们失去了一个传奇人物和索尼影业家族中一位受人爱戴的成员。”。“37年来，亚历克斯，那是令人欣慰的声音，那是全世界数百万人在漫长而艰难的一天结束时逃避和娱乐的时刻。他是《危险》的灵魂人物!每个让他成为他们生活一部分的人都会深深怀念他。”
特雷贝克的妻子吉恩和孩子马修、艾米丽和尼基幸存了30年。
特雷贝克在2019年3月被诊断患有胰腺癌，但他继续主持《危险》接下来的18个月。根据该节目的声明，他在演播室的最后一天是10月29日。
据索尼影视娱乐公司称，特雷贝克已经主持的节目将于12月25日播出。

今年7月，特雷贝克告诉美国广播公司新闻，他希望被人们记住是“一个好人”
“你在电视上看到的真的是我，”特里贝克当时说。“我是个相当不错的人。我希望你能这样看待我。我不会故意诽谤任何人。我希望别人认为我乐于助人、慷慨大方、慷慨善良。”
同样在7月，特雷贝克向粉丝们介绍了他的癌症斗争，称他正在接受免疫治疗。
“我目前的数据非常好，但我们必须对我正在进行的新免疫疗法项目保持耐心。但是，如果它停止成功，我会回到我以前的化疗——不停止，”特里贝克在他的声明中说。
《危险》原版从1964年到1975年。特雷贝克在1984年接管了该节目的重新启动，作为NBC试图为其当时老化的游戏节目阵容注入新面孔的努力的一部分。在一个缓慢的开始之后，粉丝们被他吸引住了，这使得这个节目和它的主持人在大多数观众的想象中密不可分。

乔治·亚历山大·特雷贝克1940年出生于加拿大安大略省的萨德伯里镇。1961年，在渥太华大学获得哲学学位后，他开始了广播生涯，包括在加拿大哥伦比亚广播公司新闻部的广播和电视工作。
在尝试在加拿大主持游戏节目后，特雷贝克在全国广播公司找到了一份类似的工作，主持《赔率巫师》该节目的观众数量很少，在接下来的十年里，特雷贝克主持的其他几个节目也是如此。
当特雷贝克收到《危险》的时候1984年，他在日间电视节目中的无处不在通过主持包括“战斗之星”、“陷阱”和“宏伟的大理石机器”在内的节目得到了稳固的保证
但是“危险!”无疑将是他的遗产。
他如此熟练和时尚地主持节目，他成为了一个流行文化偶像，获得了“周六夜现场”由威尔·法瑞尔，谁，作为特雷贝克，扮演直男一群看似愚笨的名人，其中包括饰演伯特·雷诺兹的诺曼·麦克唐纳徳和饰演肖恩·康纳利的达瑞尔·哈蒙德。
特雷贝克的小胡子几乎和他本人一样出名。当他在2001年刮胡子的时候——而且一直刮得很干净十多年来——粉丝们理所当然地惊呆了。
特雷贝克也于1998年成为美国公民。
特雷贝克获得了七次日间艾美奖最佳游戏节目主持人奖和美国国家电视艺术与科学学院终身成就奖。两年后，他也被选入国家广播名人堂。

在与癌症斗争之前，特里贝克遭受了2007年和2012年心脏病发作，每个人都需要离开“危险”

Legendary 'Jeopardy!' host Alex Trebek dead at 80
Alex Trebek, the quick-witted and debonair television host who won over generations of fans at the helm of the popular quiz show "Jeopardy!," has died after alengthy battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 80.
Trebek died early Sunday morning at his home in Los Angeles surrounded by family and friends, according to a statement released by "Jeopardy!" officials.
“This is an enormous loss for the JEOPARDY! staff, crew and all of Alex’s millions of fans. He was a legend of the industry that we were all lucky to watch night after night for 37 years," Mike Richards, the show's executive producer, said in a statement. "Working beside him for the past year and a half as he heroically continued to host JEOPARDY! was an incredible honor. His belief in the importance of the show and his willingness to push himself to perform at the highest level was the most inspiring demonstration of courage I have ever seen. His constant desire to learn, his kindness, and his professionalism will be with all of us forever."
Telegenic and handsome, the beloved Trebek first became familiar to American audiences as host of more than a dozen daytime game shows stretching back to 1966, including "High Rollers," "Double Dare" and "The $128,000 Question."
But it was "Jeopardy!" -- a unique quiz show that challenged contestants on topics from history to literature to pop culture -- that made Trebek a pop culture icon. Over his three decades with the show, he has hosted nearly 8,200 episodes -- a Guinness World Record.
"Today we lost a legend and a beloved member of the Sony Pictures family," Tony Vinciquerra, chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment, said in a statement. "For 37 amazing years, Alex, was that comforting voice, that moment of escape and entertainment at the end of a long, hard day for millions of people around the world. He was the heart and soul of JEOPARDY! and he will be deeply missed by everyone who made him part of their lives."
Trebek is survived by his wife of 30 years, Jean, and children Matthew, Emily and Nicky.
Trebek was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March 2019 but he continued to host "Jeopardy!" for the next 18 months. His last day in the studio was on Oct. 29, according to the statement from the show.
Shows already hosted by Trebek will air through Dec. 25, according to Sony Pictures Entertainment.
In July, Trebek told ABC News he wanted to be remembered as "a nice guy."
"What you see on air really is what I am," Trebek said at the time. "And I'm a reasonably nice guy. And I'd like you to view me that way. I don't go out of my way to malign anybody. I want to be considered as helpful and generous, generous and kind."
Also in July, Trebek updated fans about his cancer battle, saying he was undergoing an immunotherapy program.
"My current numbers are very good, but we will have to be patient with this new immunotherapy program that I am on. But, if it were to stop being successful, I would return to my previous chemo treatment -- NOT stop," Trebek said in his statement.
The original version of "Jeopardy!" ran from 1964 to 1975. Trebek took over a reboot of the show in 1984 as part of NBC's attempt to inject fresh faces into its then-aging game show lineup. After a slow start, fans gravitated toward him, making the show and its host inseparable in most viewers' imaginations.
"Jeopardy!," in which contestants are provided with answers and must reply by asking a question, has won35 Emmy Awardswith Trebek as host, and in 2011 took home a Peabody Award.
George Alexander Trebek was born in the Canadian town of Sudbury, Ontario, in 1940. After earning a degree in philosophy at the University of Ottawa, in 1961, he embarked on a broadcasting career that included radio and TV stints with CBC News in Canada.
After forays into hosting game shows in Canada, Trebek landed a similar job at NBC, hosting "The Wizard of Odds." The show fell flat with audiences, as did several others Trebek hosted over the following decade.
By the time Trebek was offered "Jeopardy!" in 1984, his ubiquity on daytime television had been firmly ensconced by hosting shows that included "Battlestars," "Pitfall" and "The Magnificent Marble Machine."
But "Jeopardy!" undoubtedly will be his legacy.
He so skillfully and so stylishly hosted the show, he became a pop culture icon, garnering a "Saturday Night Live" portrayal by Will Ferrell, who, as Trebek,played the straight manto a collection of seemingly dim-witted celebrities that included Norm MacDonald as Burt Reynolds and Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery.
Trebek's mustache became almost as famous as the man himself. When he shaved it in 2001 -- and remained clean shavenfor more than a decade-- fans legitimately were stunned.
Trebek also became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1998.
Trebek has won seven Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Game Show Host and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. He was also elected into the National Broadcasting Hall of Fame two years later.
He has stars on both the Hollywood and Canadian walks of fame and was named an officer of the Order of Canada -- the nation's second-highest civilian honor.
"We have lost an icon. Almost every night for more than three decades, Alex Trebek entertained and educated millions around the world, instilling in so many of us a love for trivia. My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who are mourning this tremendous loss," Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement posted on Twitter.
Trebek was a longtime supporter of the nonprofit World Vision and spent more than two decades traveling the globe for theChristian charity, which helps those in poverty and suffering from oppression.
He was also involved with the USO, going on tour 13 times to give support to the troops and was a major supporter of his alma mater, the University of Ottowa. There he created the Alex Trebek Forum for Dialogue and endowed it with a $5 million gift.
"I don’t think life would be as rewarding if I weren’t helping my fellow man out whenever I get the chance," he said, according to hisofficial bioon the Jeopardy! website.
Before his battle with cancer, Trebek sufferedheart attacks in 2007 and 2012, each requiring a leave of absence from "Jeopardy."
Ken Jennings, the most successful contestant in the history of "Jeopardy!" who won 74 consecutive games in 2004, took to Twitter on Sunday to express his condolences.
"Thinking today about his family and his Jeopardy! family—which, in a way, included millions of us," Jennings wrote.
James Holzhauer, another record-setting contestant who in 2019 won 32 consecutive games, also took to Twitter on Sunday, writing, "It was one of the great privileges of my life to spend time with this courageous man while he fought the battle of his life. You will never be replaced in our hearts, Alex."
