“I’m not afraid of dying,” Trebek, 79, toldover the weekend in Ottawa. “I’ve lived a good life, a full life, and I’m nearing the end of that life … if it happens, why should I be afraid of that?”
“One thing they’re not going to say at my funeral, as a part of a eulogy, is 'He was taken from us too soon,'” the TV legend told CTV’s chief anchor and Senior Editor Lisa LaFlamme in an interview at his alma mater, the University of Ottawa. It's often difficult “trying to be as optimistic as you can when the other person feels none of that … they feel only despair," he said."And I don’t know if I was strong enough or intelligent enough to help alleviate that despair.”
“I’m sure there are observant members of the television audience that notice also, but they’re forgiving,” he said. “But there will come a point when they will no longer be able to say, 'It’s OK.'", said he'll stick with the answer-and-question show “as long as my skills do not diminish.”
Good He is not a good person.
Millions are pulling for you and are proud of you. Keep hanging in there.
Why would anyone be? The religionists do because they imagine their fairy tales might just be true. Adults don't.
