The final week of Jeopardy! with Alex Trebek as host runs Monday, Jan. 4 through Friday, Jan. 8. All five episodes were taped in late October and Trebek, who died Nov. 8, did not realize they would be his final ones. 

Trebek announced in March 2019 that he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer

At the start of the Jan. 4 program, Trebek delivers a message about the season of giving. The Jan. 8 episode includes a tribute to Trebek’s life and work.
