Alex Trebek’s widow, Jean, shared her unfiltered thoughts about the late “Jeopardy!” host and how much continuing to be on the show meant to him as he battled cancer.
Jean opened up about her late husband for the first time in an interview with "Today" co-anchor Savannah Guthrie as part of the NBC special "Inspiring America: The 2021 Inspiration List" on Saturday. In it, she revealed just how important it was for him to be open with fans about what he was going through. "His gift was that he could be very resolute and he knew that the truth will not hurt you," Jean explained in the interview, which aired on "Today" Monday. "And he wanted to, I think, empower people to move through whatever challenge they had in life with a sense of inner strength, inner dignity, and love."More Related News
