Despite having passed on, former “Jeopardy” host Alex Trebek has continued to deliver messages of optimism and hope.
Released on Monday, a video of Trebek filmed just days before his death from pancreatic cancer in November 2020 featured the beloved host encouraging everyone to open their hearts and consider the suffering of those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Hello, ladies and gentlemen, you’ll recall that about a month ago, I asked all of you to take a moment to give thanks for all of the blessings that you enjoy in your lives,” he began. “Now today, a different kind of message.”
“This is ‘the season of giving,’ I know you want to be generous with your family, your friends, your loved ones, but today I’d like you to go one step further,” he continued. “I’d like you to open up your hands and open your heart to those who are still suffering because of COVID-19. People who are suffering through no fault of their own.”
“We’re trying to build a gentler, kinder society,” he concluded. “And if we all pitch in just a little bit, we’re gonna get there.”

As reported by Fox News, this week’s episode of the ever-present game show will “be the final ones featuring Trebek before guest hosts beginning with champ Ken Jennings will fill his position until a permanent replacement is named.”
The pre-recorded message of Trebek follows a previous message released on Thanksgiving just weeks after his death.
