Q: This Gameshow Host Is Having A Birthday Today… A: Who is 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.
