The Answer Is...: Reflections on My Life is a 2020 memoir by Alex Trebek. The long-time Jeopardy! host recounts his life and relationships, as well as his work in television.[1] [2] [3] Three and a half months after the book's release, Trebek died after a 20-month battle with stage IV pancreatic cancer.[4]

The audiobook was mostly narrated by Ken Jennings, who succeeded Trebek on November 30, 2020, by taping seven days (seven weeks) worth of episodes (he would later be named permanent host in July 2022); a foreword was read by Trebek. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album at the 63rd Grammy Awards, losing to Rachel Maddow's Blowout.[5]
