After a contestant wrote "We love you, Alex!" as his Final
Jeopardy! answer, fans around the world quickly chimed in to
proclaim their own love and support for beloved Jeopardy! host Alex
Trebek. In the wake of his devastating cancer diagnosis, the moment
provided the perfect opportunity to reflect on what the show--and
the man--meant to them. Millions of devoted viewers have long
considered Alex Trebek to be a part of their daily lives ever since
he began hosting the show in 1984. Now, bestselling biographer Lisa
Rogak gives readers a look at Trebek's early life, his career, and
his personal life throughout the years, drawing on many sources to
tell his full story for the first time. There are many surprises,
like the fact that Trebek was almost 50 when he discovered that he
had a half brother, as well as the revelation that for a short time
he actually dreamed of becoming a priest. The native Canadian also
struggled with depression after the failure of his first marriage,
and for years afterward he despaired of ever having a family of his
own, until he met the woman who would become his soulmate. Who Is
Alex Trebek? is the first biography of the much-loved game show
host, and as such, celebrates the man who has created a remarkable
legacy that will live on in popular culture for generations to
come.
