Brad Rutter
Former Jeopardy! champion Brad Rutter was one of the first to post a tribute to Trebek on Monday, along with a photo of the two of them together on set. He encouraged his followers to support the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in Trebek's honor.
Not Watching
Fans also took this opportunity to reflect on how much the show has changed over the last year - and in some cases, how it has fallen out of their routines.
Just Yesterday
Many commenters couldn't believe it has been a full year since Trebek passed away already. They felt like they were still processing the grief.
Ken Jennings
The official Jeopardy! account re-posted a video about how Trebek's widow, Jean had given a pair of his cufflinks to Jeopardy! champion Ken Jennings. Many were touched by this story.
Fan Favorites
Some fans posted their favorite clips from Trebek's time on Jeopardy!, including this compilation of him reading hip hop lyrics as clues.
Time Lapse
Trebek hosted Jeopardy! for years, and in that time his appearance changed gradually. Fans posted older photos and newer ones, measuring time by the color of his hair or the bushiness of his mustache.
Replacement
Finally, a year after his passing, many fans thought that Alex Trebek would likely be upset by the dramatic hunt for a new full-time Jeopardy! host.
