Book review: Alex Trebek had no plans to write a memoir, but the outpouring of supporting following his cancer diagnosis changed his mind
. He received an outpouring of support that convinced him that perhaps a memoir was warranted, after all: “I want people to know a little more about the person they have been cheering on for the past year,” he writes. “It’s an aperçu of Alex Trebek, human being. What is he like? What has he done? How did he screw up? Things like that.”pandemic, he warns readers that, aside from contributing the occasional “Jeopardy!” clue, he’s not a writer.
Trebek dishes on “Jeopardy!” superstars like Ken Jennings — who’s co-narrating the audiobook version of the memoir with him — and whisks readers backstage at the game show. He appreciates the work-life balance the show affords, taping just two days a week. On those days, Trebek arrives at 6 a.m. to start prepping. The team tapes five shows a day, with 15 minutes in between each — enough time to change suits and get a makeup touch-up.
