Wow. Rest in peace, Mr. Trebek.
I can thank Alex Trebek for inspiring the first ever computer program I made and actually distributed - a terrible "Jeopardy" game. Made it myself in Java (that I learned entirely from a paper book), then tried to "convert" the resulting JAR to an EXE using some weird converter, then burned the somewhat mangled result onto a bunch of DVD-Rs and gave them out. One of the most difficult parts of the "programming" process was copying and pasting the same few lines around the whole program, because I didn't yet fully understand scope and variables, hah.
