“They are the stars of the show,” the late game show host added in the quote. “They are the ones the viewers tuned in to see. And if you do that, if you put the focus on the players rather than on yourself, the viewers will look on you as a good guy.”
“If that’s the way I’m remembered, I’m perfectly happy with that,” Trebek continued in the final part of the quote shared by the NFL star.
