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

He's Already Gunning for the Next Jeopardy Host

In 2018, it was revealed to TMZ's Harvey Levin that Trebek already had some thoughts regarding the heir to the Jeopardy! throne. Trebek, whose contract ends in 2020, told Levin that he was considering two successors: Alex Faust, the announcer for the Long Angeles Kings hockey team, and Laura Coates, an attorney who regularly appears on cable news segments.

Both candidates were thrilled to be up for consideration. "I'm flattered by Mr. Trebek's kind words," said Faust. Coates said that she felt "incredibly honored & humbled" on Twitter.
