A couple of years ago I was at SXSW, and walking back to my hotel, I randomly turned into the bar at another one. I just happened to sit down next to the guy who ran the screens for Jeopardy!. Apparently, they were unique technologically, and were being used by a bank at SXSW. They literally had to be packed up and driven back for the show like the next day. I put down a couple of beers with him. He had nothing but nice things to say about Trebek. It sounded like Alex was the nexus for something special both on and off air.
