“Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek said nothing but nice things about his other half Jean as he spoke to People in an adorable new interview.
The 78-year-old, who married 54-year-old Jean in 1990, told the publication: “I’m pretty satisfied with my life.”
“But my wife Jean and I have been together almost 29 years, and I was thinking about President Bush when he died, and all the comments about his life about what a nice guy he is, and how he and his wife had been together 73 years. I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, if I’d just met Jean in my 20s we could have had a longer life together.’”
“I guess if I’d met her when I was in my 20s she wouldn’t have been born yet. But hey, 29 years is pretty good!”

The Canadian-born host said of his kids, “They’re really sharp, and have done their due diligence in their respective endeavours.”
“They’re both very compassionate, sensitive people. They’re really the best of Alex and I. You can talk to them. They’re our good friends.”
