The ‘Jeopardy!’ host said that while the disease comes with a low survival rate, he hoped to keep working until the end of his contract in 2022.
Alex Trebek, the longtime host of the classic trivia television show “Jeopardy!”, announced in a video on Wednesday that he has Stage IV pancreatic cancer.
“Normally the prognosis for this is not very encouraging,” Mr. Trebek said. “But I’m going to fight this, and I’m going to keep working.”
Mr. Trebek, 78, has become a household name during his tenure at “Jeopardy!”, in which three knowledgeable contestants compete to see who can come up with the right answers — or rather, the right questions — the fastest.
