Hello, communicators:

ABC’s “Jeopardy” announced that it would air the final 35 episodes featuring Alex Trebek, who died on Sunday after fighting pancreatic cancer. He was 80 years old.

The show’s executive producer, Mike Richards, also issued an emotional dedication to the late host this week—and “Jeopardy’s” social media team has been sharing memories of Trebek:

Today we honor Alex Trebek. For over three decades he brought integrity, humor and intelligence to his duties as host of Jeopardy! He will be in our hearts forever.

Thank you, Alex. Love from us all. 💜 pic.twitter.com/w8abYY8SX5
