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.

Q: I was just wondering, does "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" ever go back to visit the families who have been chosen to get makeovers to see if they are taking care of the houses?

First of all, it depends which version you're talking about. "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" just got a high-profile reboot on HGTV this past winter -- that one hasn't had time to do any revisiting.

But the original version, which ran for nine mega-smash seasons on ABC from 2003 to 2012, did go back to revisit families pretty frequently, but maybe not in the way you're thinking.

<span>Q: My kids enjoyed "Goosebumps" with Jack Black. At the end of that movie, [spoilers redacted]. The implication, we thought, was that this would be the starting point for a sequel. Is one in the works?&nbsp;</span>

Actually, a sequel came and went without you knowing, and that may be because it didn't use the first movie as a starting point at all.
