Once a year, he took the notoriously difficult Jeopardy! test that contestants must pass, vowing he&rsquo;d quit the show if he ever failed! He never did &mdash; but Alex&rsquo;s hosting gig nearly ended in January 2004 when he cheated death after crashing his pickup truck. Authorities said Alex apparently fell asleep at the wheel. His truck sideswiped a string of mailboxes, sailed over an embankment, and was airborne for about 40 feet before landing in a ditch. He was not injured.After hosting over 8,000 Jeopardy! episodes, the 80-year-old&rsquo;s reign ended Oct. 29 when he helmed his Final Jeopardy! Just ten days later, on Nov. 8, he lost his two-year battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.<div style="page-break-before:always; page-break-after:always">&ldquo;I will die without the answer to many things in life,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;It doesn&rsquo;t bother me in the least!&rdquo; The five-time Daytime Emmy winner is survived by their second wife Jean and his kids, Nicky, 53, Matthew, 29, and Emily, 27.
