Description:

This program is a biography of quiz show legend, Alex Trebek. From a very simple existence in Sudbury, Ontario, Trebek came to Ottawa to attend boarding school. During his days at the University of Ottawa he gained employment as a radio presenter for the CBC. When television came looking for a fresh young host for a new music show, Trebek was their choice. From there he proceeded to host a multitude of quiz shows in both Canada and the United States until 1983 when the ever-popular "Jeopardy" appeared in his sights. This program delves into the life of Trebek to present him as much more than a simple quiz show host. <42mn>
