Alex Trebek dies at 80 after decades hosting Jeopardy
Alex Trebek, longtime Jeopardy host, died at his Los Angeles home at 80 after revealing in 2019 he had advanced pancreatic cancer. The Canadian-born broadcaster led the show from 1984, earning five Emmys and a Peabody, while balancing work through health battles and the show’s demanding production schedule. He is survived by his wife Jean Currivan, two children Emily and Matthew, and his stepdaughter Nicky.
