You may think you know Alex Trebek, but according to the “Jeopardy!” host who’s out with a debut memoir today, there’s so much more to him than what you see on TV.
“This is not me. And as long as I’m on chemotherapy, this will always be here when I’m in public,” said Trebek. “And that’s fine. If I were no longer hosting the program I would not be wearing the hair piece.” And due to the pandemic and Trebek’s condition, the show will look a little different when it airs on television.“We’ve redesigned our set to separate the contestants and myself a little bit more from them,” he said. “So we are taking all kinds of precautions. Our testing procedure now is done online.”
But despite the changes in production, Trebek is excited about returning to the show, which he’s helmed for 36 years, and has no intentions of stopping.
