Alex Trebek Has Led a More Interesting Life Than All of Us

He's Made Appearances on Over 70 Movies and TV Shows

While Trebek's run on Jeopardy! has smashed records left and right, that's not the only program on which Trebek has appeared. In most of Trebek's cameos, he plays himself, such as in White Men Can't Jump (1992), Short Cuts (2000), and Charlie's Angels (2000). However, Trebek has performed as the occasional characgter here and there—the Man in Black in The X-Files (1996), Alex Lebek in Arthur (2000), and as the announcer on the 1996 animated children's show The Magic School Bus.
