I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Trebek back in the early '90's at ShowEast, a convention I used to attend yearly when I was in the business. My wife and I were newlyweds at the time and I had run into him when I had to run outside to take a call. I nearly ran into him and exclaimed, "You're Alex Trebek !" and he quickly followed up with.."and you're Norm ****" I've been wanting to meet up with you!" Stupid ass that I was, he was looking at my name tag and we both had a good laugh. My then-new wife came over to me and told me our table was ready, Alex had introduced himself, then introduced me to her. She was floored. Such a kind and decent man, with quick wit. He'll be missed, to be sure.
