The Best of Veterans Day

 

The Best Years of Our Lives from 1946 won 9 Oscars including Best Picture. This post war drama centers in the lives of three veterans adjusting to civilian life. There is not one battle scene. There is, however, an impeccable cast and sensitive, outstanding direction by the master, William Wyler. I can't think of a better film to help commemorate Veterans Day.

A Gameshow Icon

Long time Gameshow host Alex Trebek has succumbed to cancer at 80. An institution since the 1984 revival of the quiz show Jeopardy, he was nominated 31 times and won seven Emmy Awards. Other top shows would reference or cross mingle with this popular show like Golden Girls, Cheers, Saturday Night Live, and even The X Files. Even through his original diagnosis and the Pandemic, viewers hung onto his every appearance. His passing is like losing a family member we grew up with that we visited on a daily basis. With several pre-taped episodes still unaired, at least we can slowly say farewell.

The answer:Alex Trebek.
