LOS ANGELES â The late Alex Trebek won a posthumous Daytime Emmy Award Friday night for best game show host. His children, Matt and Emily Trebek, accepted the award.
âWe are so honored to accept this award on behalf of our dad,â Matt Trebek said during the awards show on CBS. âFor as long as we can remember, he was always so proud to be a part of Jeopardy, to work on a show that was based on knowledge, risk, and that challenged people how to think. He loved every bit of it.â
