Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek has been a favorite TV personality and game show host for decades. His show has aired thousands of times and has seen hundreds of thousands of contestants, all vying for that win. From a college student version of the quiz show to the finals giving past contestants an opportunity to go head to head with other winners, he’s been there for it all. As the celeb’s personal life becomes more and more public knowledge, i.e., with his public disclosure of his pancreatic cancer diagnosis, we now know a little more about the people he calls his family.
