Alex Trebek won a posthumous Daytime Emmy as game show host and "Jeopardy!" earned game show honors on Friday night.
Trebek's son, Matt, and daughter, Emily, accepted the trophy from behind the host's podium on the quiz show's set.
"For as long as we can remember, he was always so proud to be a part of `Jeopardy!', to work on a show that was based on knowledge, risk and the challenge -- people had to think," Trebek's son said. "He loved every bit of it."
Emily added, "He was always excited to go to work even during his battle with cancer. He was so fortunate that he was able to do what he loved and we know that he not once took it for granted."
It was Trebek's third straight victory and sixth overall in the category. He was nominated a record 32 times during his career.
"Jeopardy!" won as best game show. Executive producer Mike Richards dedicated the award to Trebek, who hosted for 37 years.
"He was more than just a game show host, he was a legend, a towering figure," Richards said in pre-taped remarks. "He believed that `Jeopardy!' was more than just a game show. He loved it because it stood for facts, competition, and the celebration of intelligence."

"I got to talk with him a few years ago and he expressed to me how proud he was to be a Canadian," Trudeau said. "I had to tell him that all Canadians are incredibly proud that he's one of us as well."
