A RECOMMENDED SUMMER READ BY THE NEW YORK TIMES, USA TODAY, TIME,
AND NEWSWEEK Longtime Jeopardy! host and television icon Alex
Trebek reflects on his life and career. Since debuting as the host
of Jeopardy! in 1984, Alex Trebek has been something like a family
member to millions of television viewers, bringing entertainment
and education into their homes five nights a week. Last year, he
made the stunning announcement that he had been diagnosed with
stage four pancreatic cancer. What followed was an incredible
outpouring of love and kindness. Social media was flooded with
messages of support, and the Jeopardy! studio received boxes of
cards and letters offering guidance, encouragement, and prayers.
For over three decades, Trebek had resisted countless appeals to
write a book about his life. Yet he was moved so much by all the
goodwill, he felt compelled to finally share his story. "I want
people to know a little more about the person they have been
cheering on for the past year," he writes in The Answer Is...
Reflections on My Life. The book combines illuminating personal
anecdotes with Trebek's thoughts on a range of topics, including
marriage, parenthood, education, success, spirituality, and
philanthropy. Trebek also addresses the questions he gets asked
most often by Jeopardy! fans, such as what prompted him to shave
his signature mustache, his insights on legendary players like Ken
Jennings and James Holzhauer, and his opinion of Will Ferrell's
Saturday Night Live impersonation. The book uses a novel structure
inspired by Jeopardy!, with each chapter title in the form of a
question, and features dozens of never-before-seen photos that
candidly capture Trebek over the years. This wise, charming, and
inspiring book is further evidence why Trebek has long been
considered one of the most beloved and respected figures in
entertainment.
