Trebek, who Gupta says is"someone I've looked up to my whole life," has Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, a diagnosis he went public with in March. "I was inspired to give by Alex Trebek," Gupta says in the clip."It was a dream come true earlier this year to finally join him on the 'Jeopardy!' stage … and I'm honored to be able to make this donation to the Knight Cancer Institute to support him and the millions of other people suffering from pancreatic cancer across the world."

"I’m sure many of you noticed on yesterday’s program, and on today, with our three contestants all wearing purple ribbons. This is one of the symbols in the fight against pancreatic cancer," Trebek said Tuesday. "They are wearing them as a tribute to Larry Martin."
