Alex Trebek Honored With Forever Stamp

On Friday’s episode of Jeopardy!, host Ken Jennings announced that the U.S. Postal Service will issue a Forever stamp honoring Alex Trebek concurrent with the show's 60th Diamond Celebration launched earlier this year. Presales for this special stamp began Friday at usps.com. Trebek, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Canada, died in 2020 after a 37-year run as host of the syndicated show. The grid of 20 identical stamps resembles the array of video monitors that form the game board. On the stamp is written the prompt, "THIS NATURALIZED U.S. CITIZEN HOSTED THE QUIZ SHOW 'JEOPARDY!' FOR 37 SEASONS" and underneath, upside down, is the correct response: "Who is Alex Trebek?" On the stamp pane, relevant category headers appear at the top of each column of stamps, and to the left is a photograph of Trebek with a portion of the "Jeopardy!" set behind him. Antonio Alcalá, an art director for USPS, designed the stamps using photos provided by Sony Pictures Entertainment and hand lettering by Marti Davila. The Alex Trebek stamp will be issued in panes of 20. Forever stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce price. The cost of one stamp in July will rise by 5 cents to 73.
