MATTHEW TREBEK – ALEX TREBEK’S SON

George Alexander Trebek was a famous game show host, being active from the 1960s to 2000s. One could be accused of being a hermit for not knowing who Alex Trebek, the host of the long-time running game show Jeopardy!, is. Indeed, Jeopardy! debuted in 1964 and has been on TV ever since. The show did go on hiatus in 1975 but was revived in 1984 with Alex Trebek at the helm as the show’s host.

Matthew Trebek, the inimitable son of Alex Trebek, didn’t quite follow in his father’s footsteps and chose to eschew the celebrity lifestyle for a shot at being a businessman. To date, he’s highly successful at it, having also made a slew of investments in the hospitality industry. He now owns multiple restaurants and credits his time as a bartender for opening his eyes to the industry.
