I went to a taping about 4 years ago (so Trebek was 76ish). For those who've never been, the show is basically filmed in real-time, and the first thing they do during the commercial breaks is Alex re-records any cards that he might have flubbed so they can punch it in later during editing. They film 5 episodes in a day, and maybe he had to re-record 1 or 2 per episode? I remember thinking that was incredible, and I still do. Even some of the things they re-recorded I wasn't sure why (possibly he mis-pronounced a foreign word I wasn't familiar with). I guess taking 2 of my favorite musicians wasn't enough, 2020 had to come for the host of my favorite game show.

Yeah, I went to a college jeopardy taping, and the thing I was most shocked by was how fast it all went by. It seemed a lot faster in real life than on TV.

> I guess taking 2 of my favorite musicians wasn't enough Rappers are getting murdered all the time lately, assuming that's what you're referring too. It's really gotten to me this year too, especially the situation in Chicago. I'm guessing most people on HN don't know that a very popular musician was killed just two days ago.
