Q: Alex Trebek speaks so clearly when reading the "Jeopardy" clues. How many languages does he speak?
It actually depends who you ask, or maybe when.
He told Parade magazine he speaks five, including English. "I can get by in Spanish, Italian, Russian and Swahili. But don't expect much in Hawaiian and Welsh."
But other sources say he speaks as many as 17, but only English and French fluently.
The truth might be somewhere in between, especially since he didn't mention French among the five he listed to Parade magazine.
