I’d quarantine for 100 years if it meant keeping Alex and @bradrutter safe!!
I realize Brad has nothing to do with this but he clearly needs to know my commitment level.

Trebek had recently hosted the mega-popular Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time tournament in January, which lasted four nights, and ended up with Ken Jennings being crowned the show's GOAT.
