Unfortunately, about a couple of months ago. And just seeing it and realizing how much pain he was in But he was not going to let people down that cared about jeopardy. It's really, really weird when icons and no longer part of our lives physically but always gonna be part of our lives mentally and spiritually when it comes to time of disorder, or also Alex Trebek. Is going to be really weird knowing that jeopardy is going to happen on Monday, and when they say Ladies and gentlemen, this is jeopardy from Johnny Gill with the announcer and Alice Trebek is not going to be the guy walking out there. That's going to be really strange, but that can never take away what he will always mean the fans of jeopardy like me and so many people showing that appreciation, especially pain. He was in trying to make sure and ensuring that the show was going to go on. They would definitely bigger than life when it comes to type of disorder, and Alistair Begg, They may be gone from this earth physically, but they're never ever going to be gone. And there's not a better tree than that. What comes into icons like that? And Alice Trebek in entertainment.
