"Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek on his cancer diagnosis
Рет қаралды 363,868
5 жыл бұрынFor 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.

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!

11/2022 Alex Trebek has been away from us for a while now but we miss him still. He was a part of our lives for so long that, when he left it felt like we lost a best friend. Many Alex fans cried and grieved for quite a while. The replacement Jeopardy hosts are doing great and showing respect but it isn't quite the same without our friend. Thank God for old TV reruns of Classic Concentration. We can enjoy Alex Trebek there and our sorrow is lessened.

😍I love him. He is such a good looking man. He’s got a good looking family too. Which one is the wife? I’m glad he addressed the hair because I really couldn’t tell if it was or wasn’t his own hair. I hope he’ll be okay. He is a treasure. 🤗💞🤗

His wife is much younger than he is, but they both look younger than they are. What really interests me about his wife (Jean) is that she's involved with some alternative healing techniques, so I wonder if he's utilizing any of those same techniques.

Evie Smail -I didn’t mean to be negative, my sincerest apologies... Evie, I was a Hospice Nurse for 10 years, and saw this disease most often just a few weeks after the person learning they had it. It was devastating for the patients and their families. Very sad most times. But I did find God, early in my Hospice career, and believe your words! My prayers are genuine. I only have respect for your reply. Thank you, God Bless 🙏🏽

Sadly, only the Man Upstairs has a say in when we leave this earth....and in late October of last year, the Man Upstairs decided that his work here on earth was done, and that it was time for him to head to his eternal destination: Heaven.
