There\u2019s one thing, though, that fans would love to see from Jennings in the late host\u2019s honor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The <em>Jeopardy!<\/em> Instagram page kicked off spooky season with a post honoring Alex Trebek and some of the fun costumes he wore on the show over the years. From Kiss rocker Gene Simmons to a sad clown, this man was an \u201cabsolute icon,\u201d as noted by omgitsbowtie in the comments. Check out the post below:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Alex Trebek took the game of <em>Jeopardy!<\/em> seriously, but the videos above prove he didn\u2019t shy away from having a little fun. In addition to setting the mood for October and hopefully inspiring some viewers\u2019 own costumes, this Instagram post also inadvertently reminded fans of how long it\u2019s been since we\u2019ve seen cosplay from our host.
