The “Jeopardy!” host passed away this weekend after a year-and-a-half long battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
He was 80 years old.
His last day of filming fell on October 29th, meaning that the show has enough episodes with Trebek at the helm to last through December 25th, according to a statement from Sony.
The statement also indicated that they would not be announcing future plans for a new host “at this time.”
Fans are speculating that Ken Jennings, the legendary “Jeopardy!” contestant and executive producer of the show, will step in as host.

The singer is not backing down!
She is now countersuing her former management company Starstruck, which is run by her estranged husband Brandon Blackstock’s father.
She is suing for allegedly violating the California Labor Code by “procuring, offering, promising, or attempting to procure employment or engagements” without being properly licensed.
She wants the 15% commission they took on her gross earnings.
Meanwhile, the management company filed a claim in September that they are still owed $1.4 million in unpaid commissions.
