Answer: His kindness spoke volumes. Question: Who is Alex Trebek?
A Bay Ridge family is remembering the compassion of longtime “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek, who died Sunday, Nov. 8 after battling pancreatic cancer.
Debbie Stevens and her son Michael, who has autism, contacted the beloved host after his cancer diagnosis was made public. Stevens’ husband died of pancreatic cancer 17 years ago.
“When the family heard the news about Alex having the same disease, and Michael being a big fan of ‘Jeopardy!,’ it was a reminder of what happened to his own father,” Stevens said.
