Alex Trebek was one of the most iconic - and highest-paid - personalities on television. And for good reason too! Alex has always held an intensely high degree of moral character and uncompromising standards. His values have shined through his work in a very obvious way. The esteemed host of Jeopardy helped craft the show into the beloved classic that has been enjoyed by millions of knowledge-seeking fans since 1984.
