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

He Has a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Too

Long before Trebek was awarded a star on the Canada Walk of Fame in 2006, he was honored for his achievements in his home away from home. In 1999, Trebek received his very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. If you're in the City of Angels, don't forget to stop and visit 6501 Hollywood Boulevard—his star is located right between Ann Margaret and Vincent Price.
