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

There's a Hall at the University of Ottawa Named After Him

Trebek graduated from the University of Ottawa with a Philosophy degree in 1961. 54 years later, he was given the star treatment by his alma mater—they named an alumni hall in his honor. The naming ceremony took place at the university, during which Trebek discussed his affinity for both the school and the city itself.

Trebek told the Ottawa Citizen that despite having lived in the U.S. for so many years, his "fondest memories have always been in Ottawa."
