THE LAST WORD

  • The Last Word tonight goes to ESPN's Tony Reali, who had this heartfelt Twitter tribute to late "Jeopardy" host Alex Trebek: "The most reliable thing in the medium of television, maybe the most reliable thing anywhere & everywhere. Every night you knew exactly where he would be and exactly how he would be. Welcoming. He was home."

  • Also check out Sports Business Daily's roundup of tributes to Trebek from around the sports world, as well as this video on Trebek's classic response when contestants could not get any football questions right.
