The Answer Is...: Reflections on My Life is a 2020 memoir by Alex Trebek. The long-time Jeopardy! host recounts his life and relationships, as well as his work in television.[1][2][3] Three and a half months after the book's release, Trebek died after a 20-month battle with stage IV pancreatic cancer.[4]

The audiobook was mostly narrated by Ken Jennings, who succeeded Trebek on November 30, 2020, by taping seven days (seven weeks); a foreword was read by Trebek. It was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album at the 63rd Grammy Awards, losing to Rachel Maddow's Blowout.[5]
