Trebek recorded a message of Thanksgiving, reminding everyone that “there are many reasons to be thankful,” “Good Morning America” reported.

The sentiments were posted to “Jeopardy’s” Twitter page.

Trebek died Nov. 8 at the age of 80. He announced in March 2019 that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, CNN reported.

A permanent replacement for Trebek has not been named, but former contestant, turned producer, Ken Jennings will be filling in once taping resumes.

Trebek had recorded enough shows to get to Christmas, with his final show airing Christmas Day.

Trebek is survived by his wife Jean and three children.
