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

He Holds a Guinness World Record

On June 13, 2014, Alex Trebek became the proud holder of a Guinness World Record. Trebek had officially earned the title in the category of "the most game-show episodes hosted by the same presenter (same program)." At the time of the award, he had hosted 6,829 episodes of Jeopardy!, obliterating Bob Barker's record for The Price Is Right.

"The good news is that as long as I keep hosting the program I stay ahead of whoever is in second place, and that makes me feel good," Trebek joked with the audience.
