Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek pays tribute to late cancer-stricken contestant

Jeopardy! fans are bidding farewell to one extremely remarkable contestant. On Wednesday night, “Jeopardy!” contestant Cindy Stowell’s final episode aired after a six-game winning streak. Stowell died of cancer one week before her first episode aired. Host Alex Trebek paid tribute to the 41-year-old contestant with a touching video clip during the show, calling her “a talented champion.” As the end of her Jeopardy! journey came to a close, Cindy's winnings totaled $103,803, all of which she pledged to donate to the Cancer Research Institute.
