Just 30 Seconds
However, the game show superstar had nothing spectacular planned for his finale. “I’ve kind of, in my mind, rehearsed it already,” Trebek told ABC News, “and what I would do on that day is tell the director, ‘Time the showdown to leave me 30 seconds in the end.” That’s all I need.”
Giving His Farewell
Trebek, being the professional, said, “Don’t ask me who will replace me because I have no say in the matter.” But I’m confident that if you show them the same love, attention, and respect that you have shown me… they will be successful, and the program will continue to be successful. God bless you and goodbye until we meet again.”
