How the Jeopardy! GOAT contestants are supporting Alex Trebek’s fight against cancer

The three contestants are supporting Trebek with what they’re wearing.

It may have been subtle to some viewers who tuned into watch the first night of Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time.

But there was a tribute to Alex Trebek on the screen thanks to the three legendary contestants — Ken Jennings, James Holzhauer and Brad Rutter — as the host (who, let’s face it, is the real answer to, “Who is the Jeopardy! GOAT?”) battles with pancreatic cancer.

As you can see from the photo below, all three are wearing purple ribbons, which are in support of pancreatic cancer research. It’s not the first time Trebek has received a tribute from contestants — you might recall Dhruv Gaur writing “We love you Alex” as his Final Jeopardy answer on a show that aired in November.

Here’s a look at the ribbons:
