Before Scott Singer was elected to run the city of Boca Raton, Florida, as mayor, he earned the title of "Jeopardy!" champion in 2013.
“He was a generally charming man,” said Singer of the late TV host Alex Trebek. “You can imagine going to dinner with him having a beer with him. “
Tributes poured in on social media Sunday after news that the beloved game show host lost his battle with cancer.
Singer remembered Trebek as a very charming and personable man. In between commercials, Singer got a chance to chat with the famous trivia mediator.
“There’s a much more fun and softer side than someone going through the questions at the lectern," Singer said. “He inspired a lot of people to embrace a greater love of learning."
