When beloved icon Leonard Nimoy died in February, tributes poured in from all across the globe.

There were tweets, pancakes, documentaries, defaced Canadian money and a whole ocean of nerd tears. Now, fellow Canadian Alex Trebek and the rest of the Jeopardy crew have commemorated Nimoy's wide-ranging career by unveiling categories dedicated to him

Jeopardy had a total of three categories in Nimoy's honor Friday night. The first, simply titled "Leonard Nimoy," explored his decades-long career in film and television, including the time he directed a film about "bachelors looking after an abandoned infant."

The next two categories, which weren't solely about Nimoy, played off of his Star Trek character Spock's most famous catchphrase, "live long and prosper."

Fittingly, for an actor whose most beloved character was a logical, highly intelligent being, every clue in Nimoy's category was answered correctly.
