The show will match Kavanaugh’s prize with a donation to Hope of the Valley Trebek Center for the Homeless in honour of the late Alex Trebek.

Trebek died in November of pancreatic cancer.

“The show’s generosity continues to reflect Alex’s desire to assist underrepresented communities,” his wife Jean Trebek said.
