For thirty-seven seasons, the most famous Canadian on television made his living being “polite.”
Alex Trebek hosted Jeopardy! with such warmth that he became shorthand for our national character. Accepting an award near the end of his life, he joked that audiences figured he was a nice guy, knew he was Canadian, and concluded the whole country must be a special place.

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
And miles to go before I sleep.
– Robert Frost
