A "Jeopardy" producer revealed a surprising fact about the show: contestants must pay for their own air fare upon their first appearance on the iconic game show.

A few weeks ago, the Junior Orange Bowl Parade was held in downtown Coral Gables featuring local Jeopardy celebrity Jonathan Fisher as Grand Marshal. Kudos to Parade Chair Grant Souviron and all the volunteers who worked tirelessly to pull off this amazing parade. He even posed with some of the Coral Gables Woman’s Club team members as did Santa. Coral Gables Physical Therapy near Merrick Park also collected toys for Lotus as did so many other businesses to help those in need. One of my recent guests was the Jr. Orange Bowl’s Golf Invitational Chair, JR Steinbauer, whose event began this week, and prior to that the Jr. Orange Bowl Basketball Tournament Chair, Chuck Little, and Jr. Orange Bowl’s Tennis Co-Chairs, Barbara Waters and Abby Dresnick.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of death in the United States and the 11th most commonly diagnosed cancer among Americans, recently taking the life of Jeopardy host Alex Trebek. South Florida resident Michael Fitzpatrick is a 20-year survivor of the disease, which is a rarity for a cancer that typically has a five-year survival rate. On Thursday, designated World Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day, Fitzpatrick launched a 26-mile walk from Boca Raton to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood in an effort to raise money to help fund research for better treatments to fight the disease. “I’m going to be honoring them through my walk.”Over 95 affiliates of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in 35 countries around the world are participating in events to mark this day to continue to raise awareness. Even once vaccinated, a quarter of those surveyed believe it will still take one to two years before things return to normal.

Alex Trebek did nothing but make you feel cool for being smart for 30 minutes every day for 36 years. And he stands up and it’s Alex Trebek.
