Alex Trebek

Admit it: You felt pretty smug that one time you answered 10 Jeopardy! questions in a row aand you probably made sure to post it on Facebook. Your friends marveled at your knowledge; your grandma was slightly jealous. It was a good day.

Few shows inspire competition like Jeopardy!, and there are fewer TV personalities whose approval we long for than the show’s guru, Alex Trebek. So in celebration of his 77th birthday, DYR pays tribute to the man a round of Trebek-inspired Jeopardy! (with the answers in the form of questions, natch).
