It has been nearly 5 years since the passing of Alex Trebek, one of the greatest game show hosts of all time.

The Jeopardy! Instagram page recently kicked off the spooky season by posting a collection of photos showcasing Trebek's fun and creative costumes over the years, from a Kiss rocker to a sad clown. This nostalgic post has inadvertently reminded fans of how long it's been since they've seen their current host don a costume.
Many Jeopardy! enthusiasts have taken to the comments, urging Jennings to follow in Trebek's footsteps and dress up for a special Halloween episode. They believe it would be a fitting way for Jennings to honor the legacy of the late, great host who made the show so iconic.
While Jennings hasn't shied away from having a little fun, such as roasting his own wardrobe choices from his record-breaking 74-game win streak, fans are hopeful that he will accept the challenge and surprise them with a costume tribute to Trebek. After all, Jennings is known for his dad-joke sensibilities, so a spooky or humorous getup could be right up his alley.
