"I was really excited, but I also was intimidated," "Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie says of her turn as guest-host on "Jeopardy!".

"Later, I was like, 'Oh, this is gonna be really hard.

Savannah Guthrie gets emotional celebrating 10 years on 'Today' show: 'All my dreams came true'.

I mean, I was really excited, but I also was intimidated.

And I really wanted to do a good job because I wanted to show how much I respected the game. I respect the house that Alex built.

Q: For "Today," you recently spoke with Alex Trebek's widow, Jean. What was your biggest takeaway from that interview and visit with their family.

She and her kids are wonderful and they're devoted to Alex and his legacy, and they're a real family.

I was really touched that they took time and spoke with us about this path that they're on, but I really also just grew to have even more respect for Alex because not only was he really great at his job – and he was, of course, an instantly recognizable celebrity – he was really a very decent human being, a family man and just totally devoted and dependable?

That's what I really took away from getting to know his family, is just that he was a regular guy, who happened to have an extraordinary job, and have extraordinary talents.

I mostly just thought you can be remarkable just by being a good human, and it really seemed that that's what he was?

'I miss him a lot': Alex Trebek's widow Jean Trebek gives first interview since husband's death?

'Nobody can do it like he did it': Johnny Gilbert, the voice of 'Jeopardy!', on Alex Trebek's legacy?

Guthrie: I just was totally blown away by the celebration they had on the show. I should've known because when the "Today" show does something, they always go big.

It was really meaningful to me.

When I look at the 10 years that have just passed, I feel like everything good in my life happened in these last 10 years. The "Today" show has made all my dreams come true professionally, and all my dreams came true at the same time because I got married and had my two kids. So, I just really feel nothing but gratitude.

I know they want to get their moment, and I think it's gonna be really meaningful
