"Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek on his cancer diagnosis

For 35 years Alex Trebek has hosted nearly 8,000 episodes of the game show "Jeopardy!" and won six Emmy Awards. And while contestant James Holzhauer's record-setting streak has been making headlines of late, the biggest news from the show has been Trebek's fight against pancreatic cancer. He talked with Jane Pauley about his chemotherapy, the crippling pain, and his determination not to miss a day of work.

    @@nicktheavatar_ I didn't even catch that, and I don't think that was deliberate. I saw a different clip (at the Emmys, I think), where a reporter joked about doing interviews in the Jeopardy format, and Alex said, no, that's a very difficult interview. And then he said that interviewers who try it "die after a few minutes" (or maybe it was the interview "dies") - but either way, I couldn't believe he used that word jokingly.

    ​@@jenniferlawrence9473 I can understand why, in the "Age of the Millennial", the possibility that anyone values honor, integrity, and living up to their commitments is a bewildering concept. But here is the reality: To a (an admittedly dwindling) number of people, keeping one's word and meeting one's commitments is actually important, and their professions are about much more than merely "making money" (which despite the tone in which it was uttered above, is not evil in itself, either...). In actuality, we are (rapidly) declining as a society here in the US because of the loss of a work ethic by myopic, highly indoctrinated, self-absorbed "professional victims". The bottom line is that we need (many) more like him in society...versus those who simply scoff at or denigrate any success that isn't Government subsidized. He's a classy, hard-working guy who represents much of what was/is good and valuable in society, and I for one, am pulling for his recovery.

    I was surprised by how quickly Alex wrapped everything up when James lost - it was just "we're saying goodbye to James." Usually when a big champ loses, there's a little more dialogue than that. Made me wonder if Alex was needing to wrap the taping up quickly due to not feeling well. James has said he found out about Alex's diagnosis minutes before one of his games - but it probably wasn't that last one, since his daughter still had time to make that get well card, which Alex showed off at what turned out to be James' last game. So, they must have known before that game.

    Cancer is very frightening, I know, I had kidney cancer, luckily it was contained to one kidney and did not spread. Until the operation I thought a lot about my mortality, the future, my soul etc. I only lost the one kidney. Thank the Lord, doctors, my wife and family. Dodged that bullet. Live every day like it is your last, laugh, love, forgive, help your fellow man....

Poise, professional, and up front. I don't know what else to say to describe him. He was just honest but upright. I love him.

    Alex, I have been a fan of yours for years. I started watching Jeopardy one day in 2012. My relationship fell apart, and I know it sounds strange, but it was something small to look forward to every day during a chaotic time when I needed something to hold on to. Then, I got my parents into it. They still record it and watch it every day, almost, and they make sure that all episodes will be recorded any time they are away on vacation or anything. When I visit, we still eat dinner while watching Jeopardy. Thank you, you have created so many memories for our family, we even have so many inside jokes related to the show, the contestants, and some of the funny or peculiarly-written questions/ answers ("Fine, I guess the answer is Canada!"). We were rolling on the floor laughing because James Holzhauer made these wagers that were birthdays and my dad would always say a random number before he made his wager to see if he could come close to guessing what he would wager, and one time, HE WAS SPOT ON!! Lmfao, he just said, "$11,914" before James said the same number. XD It's also nice to see such a classy guy in this day and age when there's so much ugliness going on. We wish you the best of luck and know that you are such a huge part of our lives and our laughter! You're the best!
