'Jeopardy' host Alex Trebek dies at 80 after pancreatic cancer diagnosis

 

LOS ANGELES -- Alex Trebek, the longtime host of "Jeopardy," has died nearly a year and a half after his stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis. He was 80.

 

In March of 2019, Trebek had announced his diagnosis in a video message released on "Jeopardy" social media accounts.

 

"Normally the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I'm going to fight this and I'm going to keep working," he said. "I plan to beat the low survival rate statistics for this disease."

 

Trebek had served as the face of the game show since it made its debut in daytime syndication in 1984. With nearly 8,000 episodes under his belt, he holds the Guinness World Record for Most Game Show Episodes Hosted by the Same Presenter.

 

The game show host celebrated 36 years with "Jeopardy!" in September and released his memoir, "The Answer Is ...: Reflections on My Life," in July.

 

The only time somebody other than Trebek has hosted an episode of this iteration of "Jeopardy" was when Trebek and "Wheel of Fortune" host Pat Sajak swapped shows for an April Fool's prank, according to the Associated Press.

 

"Jeopardy," seen by an estimated 24 million viewers each week, has been renewed through the 2022-2023 season with Trebek under contract through the 2021-2022 season. He said in a July 2018 interview before his most recent contract renewal that he could imagine a life after "Jeopardy" but would continue hosting the show "if I'm still enjoying it and if I'm not making too many mistakes."

I bet he didn't imagine the life after Jeopardy that possibly awaits him now.

I've watched the show a lot this past year, he had several questions that pertained to JW's, if I remember, no one answered correctly, also I think many of the shows were taped because of his illness.

Love Jeopardy! Once the recorded shows are over, will miss seeing him on the show, if they continue with it.

They are all taped - the actual show is taped with several being done in the same day then the Host would record a new introduction for each day to keep the intor's current and look like they were filmed that day
