In his post, Ken shared an older ticket of the Jeopardy! show that was earlier hosted by late Alex Trebek, who died late last year of pancreatic cancer at age 80. The ticket was from September 18, 1983. It was a complimentary ticket.

Sharing the picture of the ticket, he said that a friend gave him that piece of quiz show history. He further said that this was an audience’s ticket to Alex’s very first Jeopardy! show that was piloted from 1983. He said that he kept the ticket in his pocket while guest-hosting Jeopardy! this week as a good luck charm.
