Jeopardy World Tour mobile game removes Alex Trebek
The Jeopardy World Tour mobile game has just been updated to remove the image of Alex Trebek. I wonder if his family made that request. Or maybe they refused to continue to license his likeness. But the game did not replace him with anyone. It's just an odd, empty space at the host podium. Did anyone else notice this or have insight?

I don't know about commercial licensing of Alex's likeness, but Jean Trebek recently allowed me to name a scholarship the Alex Trebek Memorial Fiat Lux Scholarship at my alma mater, UC-Berkeley. (I know it's a mouthful; UCB came up with the full name.) Rocky Schmidt helpfully acted as intermediary.
