This will certainly get a lot of attention elsewhere in the game show and TV communities, but ALex announced today that he has been diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer.

Guys, we don't need two threads for Trebek's cancer diagnosis. Keep all talk of it in the J! thread. Thanks.

As many of you are aware, in a YouTube video posted above, "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek, age 78, revealed a grim diagnosis this week of Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer, acknowledging in the video that the survival rate is low.
Despite the diagnosis, Alex (who in his 78 years has ALREADY survived 2 heart attacks in 2007 and 2012, respectively) is determined to beat the disease--and if ANYONE can beat the Cancer, it's Alex Trebek, so PLEASE keep Alex in your Prayers as he undergoes Chemotherapy and other Cancer treatments.

Very sad to hear this. I'd love to think that he could recover, but unfortunately the odds are against it.

Very devastated to hear the news. Had he detected the cancer years earlier, he probably wouldn't be facing this crisis now.
Prayers for Alex, his family, and his friends.

Had he detected the cancer years earlier, he probably wouldn't be facing this crisis now. You have to realize that not everyone who has battled cancer has figured it out early. My grandmother had it in 2010-11, and by the time she was diagnosed with it, it was too late. Yeah, you can undergo chemotherapy and any other treatments. It's just not enough when you don't realize that you have cancer.

I was just really heartbroken to find out this news. I want to keep up positivity and I admire the man's faith and determination and I'm rooting for the best, but the low survival rate has me very sad.
