A Happy Birthday to the Late Alex Trebeck

Today would have been Trebeck's 82nd birthday. Trebek had served as the face of Jeopardy since its debut in daytime syndication in 1984. With more than 8,200 episodes under his belt, he holds the Guinness World Record for Most Game Show Episodes Hosted by the Same Presenter.


Did you know the only time somebody other than Trebek has hosted an episode during his "Jeopardy" tenure was when Trebek and "Wheel of Fortune" host Pat Sajak swapped shows for an April Fool's prank in 1997?


If you're the type of person who likes to play alongside the show's contestants make sure to check out the New York Times clue of the day below!


This week we've got the Mosaic Madness and want to give you some enchanting pieces to observe, we've also got some learning opportunities, a chance for you to share your testimony with Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon, and more! Be sure to get to the bottom for a tasty treat!


We'll see you next week~
