Alex Trebek is releasing a memoir this summer — just in time for his 80th birthday. After more than three decades hosting “Jeopardy!” — and being begged to pen a tell-all about his own life and what it’s like behind the scenes — the beloved emcee is releasing a book on July 21.
Trebek, who has been battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer since last year, is giving scores of fans what they want with “The Answer Is… : Reflections on My Life” ($25; Simon & Schuster). “I want people to know a little more about the person they have been cheering on for the past year,” Trebek, who turns 80 on July 22, writes in the book, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
