Zitat des Tages von Alex Trebek:
I'm curious about everything. Even subjects that don't interest me.
My musical development stopped when Frank Sinatra died.
Originally, I think, I wanted to be an actor. But I got into broadcasting by accident, if you will, because I needed money to pay for my college education. I applied for a summer announcing job at a couple of radio stations.
The only reason I got into broadcasting was, I needed money to pay for my junior and senior years at college, and they hired me, those fools!
Sex? Unfortunately, as you get older - and I shouldn't admit this - there are other things that become more important in your daily life.
Don't minimize the importance of luck in determining life's course.
Don't tell me what you believe in. I'll observe how you behave and I will make my own determination.
It's very important in life to know when to shut up. You should not be afraid of silence.
I think what makes 'Jeopardy!' special is that, among all the quiz and game shows out there, ours tends to encourage learning.
I would have loved to have a role in the HBO series 'Deadwood.' It was Shakespeare in the Old West.
I don't gamble, because winning a hundred dollars doesn't give me great pleasure. But losing a hundred dollars pisses me off.
I have an Apple computer, which I use to play Spider Solitaire and do research on the Internet.
If you can't be in awe of Mother Nature, there's something wrong with you.
I believe the 'Jeopardy!' test is more difficult than being a contestant on the program.
'Music Hop' in 1963 was my first hosting job of a variety program.
Learning something new is fun.
My life is what it is, and I can't change it. I can change the future, but I can't do anything about the past.
Maybe I'll take a little better care of myself, but I wouldn't count on it.
