Free Guy director says Alex Trebek's cameo was "a privilege"

Entertainment Weekly

Shawn Levy got the late Jeopardy! host to film a cameo in the Ryan Reynolds movie amid Trebek's battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. "In retrospect, to have this legendary gentlemen be a part of our movie forever and for our movie to, in any way, be connected to this icon and the legacy that he leaves behind, it's a privilege," Levy tells EW. "It's really an honor, and we are grateful that circumstance made that possible."
