Trebek's suggested successor

In the July interview with TMZ Alex Trebek mentioned that Alex Faust, a Los Angeles Kings  hockey play-by-play telecaster would be perfect for trivia games and suggested that Faust would make a good successor.

 

As they say in the business....stay tuned.

That interview was in July of 2018 when he spoke about possibly retiring. He has since been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, and has said that he plans to honor his three-year contract. I hope that Mr. Trebek will be successful in doing just that.

To be clear, my posting was simply to repeat a comment he made.  I was not implying anything else.

@maisiebrook, that is exactly how I took it. It was clearly a statement with no inuendo.

Under the circumstances I find the post to be in bad taste. Very bad.
