After months of battling pancreatic cancer, Alex Trebek is hinting that his long tenure as host of"Jeopardy!" may be nearing an end.

Trebek told CTV he has begun to get sores inside his mouth from the chemotherapy, which makes it difficult to enunciate. He sometimes hears himself slurring his words on the quiz show, he said. "I will keep doing it as long as my skills do not diminish, and they have started to diminish," he told CTV's Lisa LaFlamme in an interview Friday.

This makes me sad.

That condition would be called mucositis, a very painful side affect of chemotherapy.

It will be a sad day when Alex leaves Jeopardy. I wish him all strength he needs to beat cancer, and I hope he can return to the show.

Poor guy

Sad to hear, an absolute legend
