The latest new “Jeopardy!” The episodes presented by Alex Trebek will air next week, with highlights that promise to be memorable. The first of five episodes airs Monday and will begin with “Trebek’s powerful message about the season of giving,” producer Sony Pictures Television said in a statement Wednesday.
The final episode, Friday, will conclude with a tribute to the longtime and beloved host. He died of pancreatic cancer November 8 at age 80.
Trebek, who had been outspoken about his condition, worked up to 10 days before his death, persevering despite the debilitating treatments and the toll from the disease.
It was unexpected that the episodes recorded in late October would be his last, Sony said. Trebek had been fighting the disease for almost two years.
Veteran “Jeopardy!” champion Ken Jennings will take over as guest host starting January 11. A permanent host has not yet been announced.
