The article also mentioned that they would air repeat episodes for the weeks of Dec. 21st and 28th, and Alex's final week will air beginning Jan. 4th.
Too many potential pre-emotions.
I had the thought that Christmas day wouldn't be a good time to air Alex's final episode because of pre-emptions and people's holiday plans. Having it in January is definitely a better move.
Also, it would just be sad.
And we've got enough to be sad about this year when the holidays get here.

It was weird to see Alex doing a Colonial Penn commercial. What were they thinking?
Then I remembered. I taped the movie several months ago and was just getting around to watching it.

Then why did you post this?
That question can be asked so very frequently.
I don't know if anyone noticed but in the Thanksgiving message that I saw on You Tube Alex sound weaker. But then I watched today's episode and he sounded better.
I'm hearing a lot of audio problems that make me suspect editing is going on. But then it might be something about the empty studio.
She was the first 'Jeopardy!' champion. Who is Mary Cabell Eubanks?
On taping day, Mary Cabell Eubanks was surprised to share the makeup room with game show creator Merv Griffin.
Didn't read it carefully. She was not on Alex's version.
If we didn't think he was determined and strong before, there's this.

Katie Couric to be interim host of Jeopardy according to Sony.
I'm not crazy about her but at least it's only interim.Katie Couric will guest host 'Jeopardy!' after the final Alex Trebek episodes air

Meredith Vieira would be good.
Given what happened today, I'm worried about tonight. I have two options if the second station is out of news by 7:30.
Mike Tirico would be a good choice, for a guest spot , dont know about permanantly since he has a lot of NBC responsabilities
On Alex Trebek’s Final ‘Jeopardy!,’ a Last Introduction From a Friend (Published 2021)
Johnny Gilbert, 92, started on the game show with Trebek in 1984. Now, he must imagine a ‘Jeopardy!’ without his longtime colleague.
Johnny Gilbert as the long time VO of Jeopardy is featured.

I watched Alex's final Jeopardy! episode tonight. The little tribute they did at the end was very good and touched basis on some of Trebek's fun times at the show. I had no idea he dressed up in those costumes periodically - the Statue of Liberty, the Fred Astaire top hat, etc etc.
Boy it's not going to be easy transitioning into a new era of Jeopardy! Art Fleming may have been the original host, but Alex made Jeopardy! into the success it is today.

I'm surprised there wasn't an immediate slew of opinions about Ken Jennings debut.
Guess I'll start:
As predicted, he seemed stiff/wooden in the opening and during the contestant get-to-know. Ken ran the game well, very snappy, but was missing something. Alex had his style of telling the contestants their answer was wrong. "Oooh, sorry", "no, sorry', Ken seemed rushed by just answering with a quick "no". Ken's voice doesn't have the resonance of a good host either. I'm surprised the Producer's didn't pick up on that and have the A1 process his mic a little more aggressively to make him stand out.
As I predicted earlier, I don't think Ken will be the final replacement.
