Jeopardy Host Shares Unfortunate News
Alex Trebek, the longtime “Jeopardy!” game show host, revealed Wednesday, Mar. 6 that he has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Trebek, 78, said will attempt to finish out this season of “Jeopardy!”
“Just like 50,000 other people in the United States each year, this week, I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer,” Trebek said in a video posted to YouTube.
“Now, normally, the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I’m going to fight this, and I’m going to keep working, ” Trebek went on to say. “And with the love and support of my family and friends and with the help of your prayers also, I plan to beat the low survival rates statistics for this disease.”
Trebek has hosted the popular game show since 1984. In January 2018, he took a leave of absence after surgery to remove blood clots from his brain. In October 2018, he renewed his contract with Sony Pictures Television to continue as host of the quiz show through 2022.
Mike Hopkins, Chairman of “Jeopardy!” producer Sony Pictures Television, said in a statement: “If anyone can beat this it’s Alex. He has our full support as he tackles this challenge head-on.”
