RIP Alex Trebek, 18 Things Kept Hidden from Fans
Alex Trebek has passed after years of battling pancreatic cancer, and after decades of hosting one of the most iconic television shows of all time: Jeopardy. Today, we take a look at some of the lesser known details surrounding Alex Trebek and his legendary career.
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. It's true that the game show traces its origins back to the late 1960s but it was Trebek taking the reins of its reboot that turned a once floundering show into the legend that it is today.
It's difficult to picture what Jeopardy would have been like without Alex at the wheel. He and the show are downright synonymous with each other. As a host, he has endured decades of experiences that have put him to the test in so many ways that its brainy contestants might not even realize, but he has always powered through struggles and strife with professionalism and a positive mindset.
In fact, you would be hard-pressed to find someone that wasn't familiar with the television personality. Even folks without TV sets are likely to be familiar with his name and image. His persona is somewhat larger than life.
In 2019, it was revealed that Alex was battling pancreatic cancer and would have to go back in for more treatment. Since then, he has had to come to terms with the fact that he will someday have to say his goodbyes not only to his fans on the air but also to his friends and family. Unfortunately, that day came much sooner than we hoped.
Facts Verse Presents to you 18 little known facts that you never knew about one of the greatest game show hosts of all time. Did you know that he once chased down a burglar successfully that was trying to rob his hotel room? He also once purchased a mansion just so he could play tennis on its court. Besides these trivial matters, however, see what has made Alex Trebek one of the most respected public figures in history.
