‘Jeopardy!’ host Alex Trebek says he’s been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer

 

[05_never_again]

Damn, that sucks. I can't really imagine Jeopardy without him.

The host of Jeopardy before him, Art Fleming, also died of pancreatic cancer.

 

[UT_VOLS13]

Yes, it does. Randy Pausch has a great book "The Last Lecture" and video as he died from pancreatic cancer as well.

 

[McDad]

Oh no. That is not good. His prognosis is dire. Lost my father to pancreatic cancer 10 years ago. Horrible way to go.

 

[UT_VOLS13]

Oh no. That is not good. His prognosis is dire. Lost my father to pancreatic cancer 10 years ago. Horrible way to go.

So sorry about your father.

 

[McDad]

So sorry about your father.

Very kind of you. Appreciate it.

Man, that's sad news. McDad, sorry to hear you lost yours too. Lost my dad to lung cancer 14 years ago....non smoker. Maybe one day soon all the cancer research will pay off big. At least hope we're gaining on it.

 

[volwindy]

Sad news, but glad to see his humor in the video

Brutal... but I think Trebek would approve.

The statistics are definitely not in his favor. Hope for the best though

 

[VolNExile]

That's a brutal, and generally really really quick way to go.

This is what killed Patrick Swayze ("Dirty Dancing", etc.) Best wishes to him.

Thank you. Very kind.

 

[McDad]

Sorry to hear that.

You guys are very considerate. It's been a couple month's over a decade. Still miss him but the grief has been replaced by good memories.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Jeff Jacoby (for those that listen to local , Knoxville sports radio) died of pancreatic cancer, way too early.

[n_huffhines]

I'm heart broken. I think he's the first celebrity I was ever aware of. I watch Jeopardy every day
