I fail to see how a tome that's been a thing for a few thousand years somehow became "much less relevant" in the last five or ten. But with that said, Cassandra isn't a particularly major character in either Greek mythology as a whole or The Illiad in particular. I think that the Alex Trebek "connection" isn't really that substantial, and far from the best one possible. They share a gag, and one that's only sort of true for Nostradamus. They really don't have any history or rivalry with the other and to me the connection is good for one or two lines maximum.

I prefer Nate Silvers as a modern, mathematical oracle to Nostradamus' mysticism. Barring that, maybe a biblical prophet? Elijah could possibly work. Problem is there just aren't that many famous individual oracles in history, since the Oracle of Delphi was a position instead of a person.
