"Who has pancreatic cancer for $200?"

That's a little insensitive.

Sad news. Pretty much a death sentence

He made a joke in his statement......figured if he wanted to make us smile....

 

[John Price]

A true legendary Canadian of his time. Respect.

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

really sad news. I love Jeopardy and, despite his blandness, it might as well be another show altogether without Trebek.

So what does Stage 4 mean?

So what does Stage 4 mean?

Basically too far advanced to do anything about it.

Horrible news.

Horrible news.

Sorry to hear that.

Canada's greatest export.

Pretty much? He is 78 and in stage IV Pancreatic Cancer.

Odds are we all will die from one form or another of Cancer. But at least he reached 78 before confirming this diagnosis. Patrick Swayze was only 59.

It's a rough way to go for sure.

 

[Tim Calhoun]

Now he’s the one in Jeopardy.

 

[Terry Yake]

terrible news

Crushed

 

[Pattysaurus]

Damnit

 

[snipes]

Watching jeopardy tonight for sure

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Dammit. I really hope he survives it. Great guy, and i love how he threw in some humor in his message.

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Terrible news, really no coming back from that. Surprised to learn he is 78, he looks great.

 

[izzy]

[Jussi]

Will Ferrell's got to do one more Celebrity Jeopardy.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Who would even host Jeopardy?

 

[belair]

I have nothing but respect for that man. Hope he finishes that contract.

All the best to him and his family.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

That really bums me out. Jeopardy! is my favourite game show by far and nothing comes even remotely close to it.

Who would even host Jeopardy?

They transitioned from Bob Barker, so it's doable. You'd have to pick someone who's in a very different mold though, as they would be huge shoes to fill, and in any direct comparison, anyone else will fall short.
