NBA LOTTERY From Secaucus, N.J. (N) (Live)
‘Jeopardy!’ host Alex Trebek still has all the right answers
By FRAZIER MOORE
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Let’s take
“Breakfast” for $500: An Oh Henry! chocolate bar and a Diet Pepsi.
And here’s the question: What
did Alex Trebek consume a couple
of hours before this breakfast interview?
“When I say ‘the Breakfast of
Champions,’ I’m serious,” he jokes
as he orders just coffee.
A morning routine of candy and
cola might not seem strange for
someone other than Trebek. But
for 28 years as host of “Jeopardy!”
he’s blended likeability with an
air of erudition and correctness.
He’s seemingly not the sort of guy
who, at 71, might choose a wakeup
menu better suited to a child whose
mother’s back is turned.
Trebek acknowledges the apparent contradiction, and, in his resonant, precise voice, is happy to cite
another.
“People say, ‘You look to be in
great shape for your age,’ and I
guess I am,” he allows — “except
that I keep breaking things.”
There’s that darned Achilles tendon, which he tore last July chasing a woman who invaded his San
Francisco hotel room and filched
several items.
“It’s been nine months, and it
AP/File

show “Jeopardy,” holds a
Peabody Award on May 21 in
New York.
still kills me when I walk,” Trebek
says. “And I’m constantly injuring
myself. Doing work around the
house, you don’t notice when you
injure yourself. An hour later you
say, ‘Geez, I’m bleeding. How did
that happen?’
“Except,” he adds with a bit of
comic timing, “if you bang your
head, you notice. You should never
wear a baseball cap when working
in close quarters in the attic: You
never see that beam above you!”
But if Trebek repairing his roof
on a tottery ladder (result: a broken arm) seems out of character,
so be it. In person, he is leadingman handsome in a natty gray suit,
a model of calm and control, the
perfect steward of TV’s answerand-question institution. (Check
local listings for time and channel.)
The L.A.-based Trebek is in
New York to receive a Peabody
Award for electronic media, as
“Jeopardy!” joins other awardees
that include serious documentaries, edgy comedies and hightoned dramas.
“We’re in some prestigious
company,” Trebek says. “But I
think what makes ‘Jeopardy!’ special is that, among all the quiz and
game shows out there, ours tends
to encourage learning. A lot of the
stuff is trivia, but maybe a subject
will come up that will arouse the
viewers’ curiosity and they’ll want
to find out more. We tell you it’s
OK to be bright, to know a lot of
things, and to want to learn.”
Certainly, the “Jeopardy!” audience (which averages 9 million
daily) is rallied by each day’s three
contestants who confront the game
board with its half-dozen categories, each of whose five answers
demands the right question.
Maybe never in the show’s long
history was the competition fiercer, and more fun, than in February 2011, when a supercomputer
named Watson humbled reigning
human champs in a battle of Machine vs. Man.
“I for one welcome our new
computer overlords,” Ken Jennings (famed record-holder for the
longest winning streak) scribbled
alongside his Final Jeopardy response.
Just another learning experience
for all.
“Learning something new is
fun,” says Trebek. “When I finish as the host of ‘Jeopardy!’ I’m
going to go up to Taft in central
California. They have a small college there that teaches you about
oil drilling.” Whereupon he expounds on the subject at some
length while pinpointing several
details he wonders about. “I’d like
to take a course,” he says.
But wait — what about that Rword? A few weeks ago Trebek
was quoted as saying he was
thinking of retiring, with the explanation, “30 years has a nice
ring to it.”
Now he chuckles at the uproar
he sparked. What’s so surprising
that, after 50 years in the business
and 71 birthdays, he might con-
sider calling it quits?
“Saying that I’ve THOUGHT
about it doesn’t mean that I’m DOING it,” he reasons.
Trebek’s path to “Jeopardy!” began in his native Canada, where he
grew up in the Ontario city of Sudbury and graduated from the University of Ottawa with a degree in
philosophy.
“I had no money for my junior
and senior years,” he says, “and
all the philosophy courses were
taught in the mornings, which enabled me to get a job in the afternoons and at night to pay for my
tuition.”
The job he got, by chance, was at
the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.,
which after graduation led to a
full-time position as announcer,
newsman and on-air host.
Then, in 1973, he headed to Los
Angeles and quickly landed the
host job on a new NBC daytime
game show, “Wizard of Odds.”
Other game shows followed,
sometimes more than one simultaneously: Even after winning the
host job at “Jeopardy!” when it
made its syndicated bow in 1984,
he hosted two other game shows,
“Concentration” and “To Tell the
Truth.”
This was a broadcasting niche
he had stumbled into, but it fit him
like a glove.
“My job,” he says, “is to provide
the atmosphere and assistance
to the contestants to get them to
