Alex Trebek: Jeopardy! host and TV personality. Son, brother, husband, and father. Friend and philanthropist. We will miss you, Alex. Thank you for giving us one last gift before you left. Alex Trebek's memoir was released in July of 2020 before his death from stage IV pancreatic cancer just 3 months later. His book is full of short anecdotes that exude love and adventure. He's filled it with captioned pictures that are absolutely stunning.
