520    "Longtime Jeopardy! host and television icon Alex Trebek 
       reflects on his life and career"--Dust jacket. 
520    "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. 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 [this book]. 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" --
