We didn't have to wait long for bad news after the good news of the election: Alex Trebek died on Sunday morning. His legacy will live on, and he even has 35 shows left to do. Claire McNear is a writer for The Ringer and author of the wonderful new book, "Answers in the Form of Questions: A Definitive History and Insider's Guide to Jeopardy!" We taped this podcast before his death, but it's otherwise a terrific tribute to an amazing show and an amazing host. And Claire is great. Buy the book.
