Behind Every Great Man There's a Great (or maybe just younger & more attractive) Woman

Curiousity killed my inner cat (two cat-killing references in less than 24 hours!!) yesterday evening when Clare, David (former townhouse-dweller and fellow game show fanatic) and I sat down to Jeopardy. Who is Alex Trebek's wife?? Or perhaps the better question is- Who in their right mind would marry Alex Trebek? I ain't sayin she a golddiggger...

As it turns out, all our favorite game show hosts have wives. It's weird. After filming an episode of Wheel, Pat Sajack doesn't just evaporate into an orange cloud of dust. He goes HOME to his WIFE. Woah. John O'Hurley found someone to marry his fat arse also (David pointed out his weight gain...can't believe I didn't notice it before).

Alex and Jean Currivan-Trebek- can't find the age difference ANYWHERE (googled it for about a half hour)
 
Pat Sajak and Lesly Brown (2nd marriage)- 19 year age difference

John O'Hurley and Lisa Mesloh- 18 year age difference

AND perhaps the most interesting....Will Vanna ever find love??

She was engaged to Playgirl centerfold/Chippendales dancer-turned-actor John Gibson, but he died in a PLANE CRASH in 1986. So sad!!

In 1991 she married George Santo Pietro (married 11 years, divorced in 2002)
In 2002 she dated AIDEN (John Corbett) from Sex and the City (according to whosdatedwho.com )!!!!!
 
Vanna White and businessman Michael Kaye (dlisted fans...this name probably makes you laugh a little) were engaged from 2004-2006...


Poor Vanna- so unlucky in love.

Going to Super Supplements to spend my tip $ on FISH OIL of all things,

It took me only a couple of minutes to find a 1990 People article that lists Alex's age at 50 and Jean's at 26 so they are 24 years apart. Here's a link: http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20118325,00.html

Maybe I'm stretching things abet, but could Vanna been a beard for John? He appeared in Playgirl and was a Chippendale dancer and when I saw his pics, my gaydar started to ping! His bio did not mention a SO or wife and at the time of his death he was 38 (Vanna, I think was 29. Of course none of this adds up to his being gay, but some smoke came into view!

Pscheck: I dated John Gibson before Vanna did & although he wasn't gay, I understand how you would think that he could be. I can tell you that he was truly as nice as he was handsome. It was a shame he passed away so young.

I am sorry for my comment and I do apologize. My response was motivated by the numerous postings on the sexuality of many actors in today's film. They come out screaming they are not gay and hide behind the skirt of a female 'beard!' But years later, they will come out, sometimes proud! I realize their careers are at stake, but they don't have to make these disclaimers and just take the stance that George Clooney, Leo DIC., et al take and just surge it off and tell them its none of your business what I am! Just say'en lol.
