‘Jeopardy!’ Legend Alex Trebek Insisted on Wearing Flight Suit To Dinner

Alex Trebek was the beloved “Jeopardy!” host for over 30 years and following his death last November, the show to which he dedicated much of his life continues to share memorial posts about the host’s most special and memorable moments. Most recently, the game show’s Instagram page shared a series of photos featuring Trebek in a United States Airforce flight suit gifted to him by the military branch itself.

While Trebek not only enthusiastically donned the suit and partook in the themed shoot, he insisted on wearing the suit to dinner afterward. Apparently, the icon couldn’t part with the suit because the “Jeopardy!” Instagram page shared that, “A duplicate may have been arranged for [Trebek] to frame and hang in our Hall of Fame.”

For as long as Tom can remember, he has understood the reality around him through the tinted glasses of works of fiction, be it books, films, TV shows, or anime. An English graduate, he wrote articles on a wide array of topics for several years, from entertainment and pop culture to history and literature. Before that, he was an educator and a roleplay game writer and developer. It is his deeply-rooted love for performing arts and visual media that led him to become a part of the DC team in 2020.
