Does Alex Trebek know all the answers? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

On Jeopardy, do you guys think Alex Trebek knows all the answers to the trivia questions because he is just amazingly smart, or do you think he memorizes the answers before the show, or does he have some kind of computer or screen that displays the answer to him when he reads the question?

I'm guessing a computer screen.

I saw in an interview that he plays along when he reads the questions before reading the answer. Most definitly a computer screen.

I wonder where exactly the screen is though? It seems that he doesn't really have a panel when watching the game. I could be wrong though.

Maybe it's the card he's holding then, he seems to be reading the questions off if them. It's not live so who knows how he gets the cards.

It's possible that they'd come up on a teleprompter on the camera that shoots him.

But the teleprompter would probably be visible to the contestants because the cameras shoot from the front of the stage. Besides there's not much time between the reading, buzzing, interrogative, etc. I think he probably has an ear piece in his left ear. You almost never see him from the left side.

Right, how else would he hear what the judges were saying about an answer and us not?
