        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alex Trebek is releasing a memoir this summer — just in time for his 80th birthday.</p><p>After more than three decades hosting &#8220;Jeopardy!&#8221; — and being begged to pen a tell-all about his own life and what it&#8217;s like behind the scenes — the beloved emcee is releasing a book on July 21.</p><p>Trebek, who has been <strong>battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer</strong> since last year, is giving scores of fans what they want with <strong>&#8220;The Answer Is&#8230; : Reflections on My Life&#8221;</strong> ($25; Simon &amp; Schuster).</p><p>&#8220;I want people to know a little more about the person they have been cheering on for the past year,&#8221; Trebek, who turns 80 on July 22, writes in the book, <strong>according to The Hollywood Reporter</strong>.</p><p>In the book, Canadian-born Trebek will cover topics including marriage (he and wife Jean live in Los Angeles), parenthood (he has two kids, Emily and Matthew), education, success, spirituality and philanthropy.</p><p>He will also answer frequently asked questions from fans, including why he <strong>shaved his mustache</strong>, what he thinks of champion players like <strong>Ken Jennings</strong> and <strong>James Holzhauer</strong> and what he makes of <strong>Will Ferrell&#8217;s impersonation</strong> on &#8220;Saturday Night Live.&#8221;</p><figure id="attachment_15488242"  class="wp-caption alignright"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/alex-trebek-memoir-2.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/04/alex-trebek-memoir-2.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/alex-trebek-memoir-2.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Alex Trebek&#8217;s memoir.</span><span class="credit">AP</span></figcaption></figure><p>Expect dozens of never-before-seen photos of Trebek, who debuted as &#8220;Jeopardy!&#8221; host in 1984. The book is also structured like the game show; each chapter title is written in the form of a question.</p><p>Trebek announced his diagnosis in March of 2019. The outpouring of support over the last year, as he&#8217;s fought the disease and shared updates on his condition, helped convince Trebek to &#8220;share his story,&#8221; according to publisher Simon &amp; Schuster.</p><p>One year after announcing his diagnosis, Trebek <strong>delivered an emotional speech</strong> about his treatment.</p><p>&#8220;There were moments of great pain,&#8221; Trebek said in a video posted on the &#8220;Jeopardy!&#8221; Twitter account. “Moments when certain bodily functions no longer functioned and some massive attacks of great depression that made me wonder if it was really worth fighting on. But I brushed that aside very quickly, because that would have been a massive betrayal.&#8221;</p><p>Trebek, who said he didn&#8217;t want to let down millions of fans or his wife Jean, vowed that he and his doctor believe he will live to give another update next year.</p><p>&#8220;Jeopardy!&#8221; suspended filming in front of a studio audience in March and have now stopped taping altogether due to the coronavirus. New episodes recorded before these precautions, including this week&#8217;s College Tournament, will continue to air.</p>]]></content:encoded>
