This week marks the last episodes of Jeopardy! that will feature Alex Trebek, the legendary game show host we all came to love over his 37-season run on the syndicated program. Sadly, Alex passed away on November 8. He'd been battling pancreatic cancer since 2019. The show will go on, but it certainly will feel different.

To watch the last batch of episodes to feature Alex Trebek as host, you can catch Jeopardy! weekdays at 3:00 PM on KWWL (channel 7), and you can play Jeopardy! anytime you want with the help of Alexa.

Ok, let's have some fun remembering Alex and test YOUR knowledge of all things Iowa and see how you do with these fifteen Iowa related Jeopardy! clues. And, shoutout to Pete Hanson from our sister station in St. Cloud, Minnesota for the idea.
