As I understand it - Alex does not read the answers.

Every answer on every category has been pre-read by Alex and when a player selects an answer, the Big Board as you call it plays back the answer.

“Every answer on every category has been pre-read by Alex”

Now that makes sense. I’ve always wondered how Alex could start reading so quickly especially when the contestant has jumped all over the board in selecting.

I recently saw a short documentary of Jeopardy Behind The Scenes on youtube.I guess they film five episodes a day...IIRC those days can last 14 hours for him. He pre reads every question and answer in order to avoid mispronunciations and other errors and sometimes offers suggestions regarding a particular question...drop it,move it,change it,etc.
