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.

I love Alex Trebek and Jeopardy. This was so sweet and I loved seeing the pictures embedded throughout which were new to me.
