Rest in peace. I would be glad, if I had to go to Valhalla in 46 years.

Robert Fisk, a veteran Middle East correspondent for The Independent and the most celebrated journalist of his era, has died after an illness. He was 74.

Fisk was renowned for his courage in questioning official narratives from governments and publishing what he uncovered in frequently brilliant prose.

He joined The Independent in 1989 from The Times and rapidly became its most recognisable writer and searched-for byline. He continued to write for The Independent until his death in Dublin.

The game show "Jeopardy" began at the end of March in 1964. It had several reincarnations until it reached its final form. One upon a time in the 90's, I watched it some. I do not see it continuing on when there are 36 years of reruns available.

I think it will. It is such a money generator that there will be an attempt to keep it going.
Finding a host that 'clicks' might be difficult. I think that Alex did discuss it with the producers. I think that Ken Jennings will be the first to host. There may be a celebrity (maybe a female like Geena Davis) or they may go for a current host of a game show.

I think Ken Jennings would be a good host. He knows the game, people like him.

His being the host would have the additional advantage that he couldn't be a contestant.

Remaining shows already recorded will be shown through December 25.
