Launching The Alex Trebek Fund alongside his wife Jean and the incredible Stand Up to Cancer team was a labor of love, and I’ve been deeply moved by the response. Along the way, I’ve learned so much about the iconic host of Jeopardy!, and I’m honored to share an intimate look at Alex’s personal side, told by his family and the colleagues who knew him best.

This fund will help the incredible scientists taking on pancreatic cancer, the ruthless disease that claimed Alex’s life — and it’s already raised $1 million, thanks to the Trebek family and the estate of beloved cinematographer Barbara Hanania. You can donate right here, and if every Jeopardy! fan could spare $5, just imagine the progress we could make.
