Your Fave MIGHT Be Catholic: Alex Trebek (real name: George Alexander Trebek)

Known for: Canadian television personality & game show host, he is best known for being the long running host of the beloved game show Jeopardy. He’s had a long career working in the television industry since the 1960′s, & even hosted some other game shows prior to Jeopardy, such as Music Hop, High Rollers, Double Dare, Stars On Ice, The $128,000 Question, Pitfall, Battlestars, Classic Concentration, To Tell The Truth, & even The National Geographic Bee. Besides hosting game shows & other television events, he also is known for making guest appearances on beloved television shows, whether its as himself or as a parody of himself, usually when the story involves Jeopardy or a fictional game show. He is also very active in the realm of philanthropy & activism, helping organizations such as World Vision Canada & the United Service Organizations, & also donating money & resources to such causes like land ownership, homelessness, children’s rights, blindness, & so on.

Why I say MIGHT as opposed to IS: In this particular instance, the answer isn’t very clear, though there is evidence that points that he could be part of the Catholic faith. In a more recent video he did regarding his diagnosis with pancreatic cancer, he actually does state that he’s a Christian, that he does have faith in God, & he really appreciates those who pray for him. Unfortunately, he does not specify what denomination he belongs to, & thus he could be any kind of Christian. Some may even point out that during the Pennsylvania Governor Debate, he went on a tangent about the scandals involving boyhood in the Catholic church, & thus probably wouldn’t be Catholic anymore. All that said, that same source still does confirm that he was born & raised Catholic, & in an article from The Wrap, he did later go on to apologize for these remarks & for his part as moderator of the debates. So, right here you can see that he is a man of faith, & while he may have been critical, he did see the errors he made, apologized, & could still be part of the faith. An anon also pointed out once that he has a plaque at St. Charles Borromeo Church in North Hollywood & was a member there for a time, which is also a potential indicator of being Catholic. But, at the end of the day, we won’t know for sure unless Alex says something himself or a loved one of his makes it clear.

If this post is wrong: If this post is wrong & there is a reliable source out there that states that Alex Trebek belongs to a different sect of Christianity, then please politely inform me in an ask & I’ll have this post altered right away!
