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.
THE ANSWER IS ... ,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.
THE ANSWER IS ...,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 ANSWER IS ... ,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.
