14+ Times Alex Trebek Was The Most Iconic Game Show Host Ever

"Now, normally, the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I'm going to fight this," he said in a video.

"And with the help of your prayers also -- I plan to beat the low survival rate statistics for this disease," he continued.

As of this year, Alex has been hosting Jeopardy for 35 years.

More than enough moments to prove why Alex Trebek is the greatest gameshow host of all time.

Back in 2010, Alex got to sing an entire category using auto-tune in a very self-explanatorily named category “Alex Meets Auto-Tune".

In 2005, during a very tense Tournament of Champions, as a gesture to lighten everyone's mood, Alex walked out with no pants on.

That's certainly one way to lighten the mood!

In a category that exclusively read popular rap lyrics, Alex did his best to read out the lyrics with gusto, and even swagger.

I think rap might be his new calling.

A contestant explained what her favorite genre of music was — "nerdcore hip-hop" — a genre of artists who consider themselves to be of the nerd variety, and rap about science, science fiction, fantasy, and other things of that nature.

Alex interrupted her and said "Losers, in other words."

Savage.

After a contestant correctly guessed "strobe light" as an answer, Alex then proceeded to demonstrate how one would dance in a nightclub, underneath a strobe light.

It was... surprisingly accurate?

A contestant was explaining to Alex how her pet goat recently died after eating a bag of QUIKRETE.

Alex laughed, made a joke of it, and the contestant said "Alex, you're being insensitive."

After a contestant guessed that the correct answer to a clue was "threesome," Alex said:

"Cara the contestant obviously has had much more experiences than I."

A contestant nearly got an answer right, but said "gangster" instead of "gangsta," and Alex deemed that was not good enough, and marked the answer as incorrect.

When contestant, Ken Jennings, mischievously, and incorrectly, guessed the word "hoe" Alex immediately started ripping on him.

After making fun of the contestant who thought the answer was "hoe," he proceeded to jokingly roast the schools in Utah by saying:

"They teach you that at the schools in Utah, huh?"

After a contestant told Alex she was a budding music journalist, he looked her dead in the eye and said "you want to be a groupie, in other words."

Yikes.

The category was Reese Witherspoon and the clues were short descriptions of some of her movie roles.

When a contestant didn't know the answer to one of Reese's more popular flicks, Alex quietly boo'd him.

A contestant misspoke, and said she stayed "in the chapel that Anne Boleyn got beheaded." When she quickly tried to correct herself, Alex intervened and said "get your story right." and then began to give her a short history lesson.

After a contestant confidently gave their answer, Alex began condescendingly laughing, and then abruptly said "no."

Upon meeting the contestants at the beginning of the show, one contestant told Alex that she had trained a goldfish before.

She went on, in detail, explaining how she trained her goldfish, while Alex was hanging his head in disappointment.

He then turned to the camera and said they get some "weirdos" on the show sometimes.

When the category was about American football, not a single contestant knew the correct answer, and Alex wasn't having it.

He sarcastically said "I can tell you guys are big football fans."

In the category named Hamlet, Alex read everything out in a very theater-esque, dramatic tone— proving he could have pursued a career as an actor!

When a contestant got an answer wrong, instead of simply telling him that she was incorrect, he decided to be savage as hell, and yell it out of a megaphone.

Turns out, Alex Trebek is more than just a savage game show host. He's also quite the actor!

A man of many talents, you might say!

He's been an incredibly host, and we wish him all the best as he embarks on his journey to defeat cancer.
