Alex Trebek’s Longtime LA Home Hits The Market For $7M

Alex Trebek, the late longtime host of Jeopardy!, has just had his longtime and final LA home hit the market for $7 million. Trebek died back in November 2020 and had purchased the home with his wife Jean Trebek back in 1991 for $2.15 million.
