milehiiu Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 My wife and I watch every day. Try to plan our dinner for when Jeopardy comes on. Alex Trebek announces he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlinedavid Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I've always been a trivia nut, so naturally I've watched many hours of Jeopardy. It'll always hold a special place in my heart for a different reason. My oldest son was extremely colicky and would be up for hours some nights. And, at the time, my wife was working nights. So, I'd always make sure I had a backlog of Jeopardy episodes on the TiVo. Perfect show for that situation. No sudden loud noises to startle him if he was falling asleep, and most of the words were on screen if he wasn't. Best wishes to a true icon.

hoosierfan615 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 So sad. Pancreatic cancer is awful, my mil died from it several years ago. Prayers for Alex and his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Not trying to be sick or anything...but I hope SNL thinks about a tribute to Trebek. Those "Celebrity Jeopardy" skits are my all- time favorites. It would be nice to see Alex as the host and Will Ferrell as a contestant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would know "Sean Connery" would morph some topic. I knew it would come...but I wasn't smart enough to figure it out. That being said I wish Alex the best, and it is a show that I have watched religiously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 If you have the chance, do a You Tube search for the old Bob and Tom sketch where ex-Steeler Greg Lloyd is a contestant on Jeopardy. Questionable language to put on here, but hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Have watched Jeopardy for years. Odd a game show host voice can be the gold standard for a generation or two....but Trebek is one of those voices when you hear it you know who it is. Almost like an Enberg or Al Michaels or Dan Rather....wish him the best trying to beat this cancer. Stage 4 of that type usually doesn't have much optimism surrounding it.
