IT was announced Tuesday that a large number of Alex Trebek’s clothes — 14 suits, 58 dress shirts, 300 neckties, 25 polo shirts, 14 sweaters, nine sports coats, nine pairs of dress shoes, 15 belts, two parkas and three pairs of dress slacks — have been donated by his family, spearheaded by son Matthew Trebek and “Jeopardy!” costumer Steven Zimbelman, to the Doe Fund. The organization works to break the cycles of homelessness, incarceration and criminal recidivism, and the clothes will be given to participants in its reentry program for job interviews.

On the website of Alex Trebek’s wife Jean — the Inside Wink website — Matthew wrote about being “approached by Rocky Schmidt, producer and long time, dear friend of my dad Alex Trebek, as to what I would like to do with all of my dad’s suits at the Jeopardy! Studio. I immediately thought of the Doe Fund,” a charity the Harlem, NY, restauranteur has been affiliated with.

Jean wrote on Instagram that she “sincerely appreciates” her son and his “great idea,” adding, “It warms my heart to know that Alex’s suits will be donated to such an important cause.”

Nicky, who was a “Jeopardy!” producer until she stepped down earlier this year after her dad’s death, added hashtags “missing you always” and “milestones and memories.”

Her friend responded that she was so happy Nicky got her father’s bracelet, presumably the one seen in the photo. Nicky wrote back, “My brother has the original and my sister,” Alex and Jean’s daughter Emily, “and I have replicas. It’s wonderful the three of us have matching (ones).”

In the wake of Alex Trebek’s death, “Jeopardy!” has been operating with guest hosts until a permanent replacement is made.
