I do not recall a single instance where Alec Trebek was ever caught up in a political scene or scandal. He was always the epitome of class and dignity, and understood he was not a serious force in the world - but rather a force that was burdened with the mission to entertain the world without demeaning anyone.
I wish him well, and hope the setback is simply that - a delayed step forward toward continued health.
The only political thing I think he’s ever done was serve as moderator of a Governor’s Debate here in PA. I think it was a straight-up paying TV gig.
