What The Reviewers Say

Norah Piehl,
Bookreporter
For me, this book is more than a passing walk down memory lane—especially the entertaining chapter during which Rogak describes what a typical day of Jeopardy! taping looks like.
Terry Bosky,
Library Journal
With Trebek’s public battle with pancreatic cancer, it’s hard not to ascribe a eulogistic tone to this work. Nevertheless, Rogak’s work is a well-crafted biography that will especially appeal to Jeopardy! fans..
Carol Haggas,
Booklist
... loyal Jeopardy! fans might well know enough answers about the beloved emcee to sweep the category. For everyone else, Rogak’s sprightly biography fills in the highlights.

Kirkus
An entertaining if superficial biography of the host of America's best-known quiz show.
