And he gets how admissions like that play into the nerdy professor image most fans have of him and, frankly, he's fine with it.
"I've learned that people draw conclusions that satisfy their prejudices, and those conclusions don't always coincide with reality," he noted to."People think because I'm the host of a fairly serious, intelligence-based quiz show that I must know all the answers. I do—because they're written on a sheet of paper in front of me.
Of course, he jokes wryly of his 54-year-old bride,"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!","There was just this deep sensitivity about him with a gruffy exterior. I kept thinking, he's 24 years older than me...but there was something that just kept drawing me to him."
Now she realizes it was his great sense of humor coupled with intelligence and just the right amount of humility."He takes his job very seriously," she told the mag,"but won't take himself too seriously." While he's quick to downplay his importance as the man at the helm of the beloved program, he maintains a deep appreciation for the game. He gets annoyed when people bet too little on Daily Doubles."I have been disappointed when contestants made conservative wagers because they don't realize the obvious. And that is, if a clue is in the second box from the top, it's going to be easier than a clue at the bottom of the category.
Alex, my prayers are with you. Fight on, my friend. May you be the one who beats the odds! We are not ready to lose you, possibly selfish, but we love you Alex
