Description

Everyone knows Alex Trebek as the host of Jeopardy!, America’s most-watched quiz game. But there’s more to him than Jeopardy!, as you’ll see on this journey into the strange obscurities on Trebek’s résumé — like a Star Wars-themed “Hollywood Squares” knockoff, and an ill-fated trivia game that Alex co-hosted with a cartoon sidekick.

Play along and win (not-so-)fabulous prizes as pop culture critic, game show fanatic and Chicago resident John Teti guides this fun, surprising deep dive into the early years of a TV icon.
