LOS ANGELES — “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek says he has been diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer. In a video posted online Wednesday, the 78-year-old said he was announcing his illness directly to “Jeopardy!” fans in keeping with his long-time policy of being “open and transparent.”

I’m so sorry to hear this. Alex, fight the good fight. The world is hoping you win.
NO. Alex Trebek is an American and Canadian treasure. Praying for you Alex and your family. God bless.
Stage four too. I only began hearing about this type of cancer about 15 years ago. I've seen too many deaths from it since then. What is causing this?
So sad
I can think of only a very few people who are a symbol of American pop culture, and Alex happens to be one! Good luck and God bless, Alex!!
He is a rude jerk in person. Sorry but his holier than thou attitude was sickening.
Leona314 FUCK.
God bless
fuck
twithersAP 😢😢
Best of luck, Alex.
Mr Trebek, as much as we love Jeopardy, you mattermore. A stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis is, short of a miracle, a death sentence. Leave the show and spend your remaining time on earth with the people you love. We and Jeopardy are unimportant right now.
There's no cure and pancreatic cancer is one of the most painful. Bless him, but at stage 4, there's no hope.
Prayers and Strength
Oh no!
Let us all remember ALEX TREBEK in our PRAYERS. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Stage IV pancreatic adenocarcinoma means he has 6 months, and possibly 1 year with chemo but the last 6 months will be very low quality of life. Stage IV means he is probably an unlikely candidate for the Whipple surgery. AlexTrebek Jeopardy
