Fans are remembering the late “Jeopardy!†host Alex Trebek via a hilarious, curse-filled montage of his outtakes.
Footage of Trebek swearing while filming promos for a telephone version of the game show has gone viral following the TV legend’s death over the weekend from cancer at age 80.
“You dumb son of a bitch,†Trebek rebukes himself at one point in the video.
“No shit,†he says in another clip. Elsewhere, he has a blunt reply to someone on set, saying: “Fuck ’em.â€
No host likes shooting promos, especially for a phone version of their hit game show, but Trebek did them with good humor. So long, Alex, and fuck ’em. pic.twitter.com/7Z1hh1vl2w

It’s now been seen more than 3.7 million times.

Hearing him curse is so strange. And makes me love him even more.
