Yep, 2020 eases up a little, then right back to being an ******* ...

Pancreatic cancer is a rough one, any cancer is certainly tough, but it's a late stage detection / extremely difficult to treat.

Very sad. I remember watching Jeopardy with my mother and brother when I was a much younger person. He was always a class act. It is too bad that he had to suffer from such a monstrous disease. RIP

I always liked him and the show. He was a class act. It is good he isn’t suffering anymore.

As a world traveler, I can attest to the fact that his program was watched in many countries or imitated. One of his recent contestants, an immigrant to America, told the story of how he sat on his father's knee and both of them learned English from Jeopardy. A true gentleman.

I remember when @Weaselboy started a thread back in March 2019 when Trebek announced he had cancer. Trebek said in a video, “I have to beat this, we have to beat this.”

I didn’t realize he was 80, but I really admire his tenacity to tell others that he was going to battle this the best he could, yet, in between all of is treatments, he still hosted Jeopardy. Now that’s a warrior.
