He was class personified. If you haven't read his autobiography, The Answer Is..., published earlier this year, give it a try. The book is charming and delightful and funny and revealing, all wrapped into one terrific volume. It's a great read for Trebek fans.

I just found out. He toughed it out for quite awhile. All those times I tried out for Jeopardy, I never met Alex. Best to his loved ones. His wife seems like a good egg, and IIRC he has a son who’s maybe early high school.

R.I.P.

I used to marvel how he could nail the pronunciation of foreign words, especially French words, then I read in one of his obituaries that he grew up in Canada in a bilingual household, French and English.
