The Las Vegas native and his wife have donated to The Las Vegas-Clark County Library, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum and the Ronald McDonald House in Las Vegas. Curious as to how he got so successful at the game show? He credits reading children’s books from the library as the key to his success (hence the donation to the library). Yay for reading!
