This is an absolutely wonderful collection of stories and tid-bits from Trebek's life. Starting from the very beginning, then finishing almost exactly before his death in November 2020, each story is funny and fun to listen to.
Ken Jennings does a wonderful job with a bulk of the narration, but Alex Trebek popping in to read specific portions was wonderful. I admit I teared up multiple times, especially towards the end. This is a must listen if you're a Jeopardy fan, and just a good audiobook about a man who became part of American media history.

Trebek spends a good portion of time discussing his pancreatic cancer diagnosis. He also talks about the death of his mother, father, and sister.sepitz's review against another edition

This book highlights key points in Alex Trebek's life through each chapter. These are events that he deemed important. Knowing Trebek has the host of Jeopardy! It was really interesting to learn more about his life and especially how he got to become the host of Jeopardy! He also talks about the behind-the-scenes of the show which was interesting. I really enjoyed this. However, there were a couple of questionable parts that could've been fixed in editing.
