Alex Trebek has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Fuck.
youtube.com
Host in Jeopardy!
Who’s going to replace after he dies this summer?
Painful deaths for 500, Alex
The Mormon Ken who never actually left the set
つ _ ༽つ trebek take my energy ༼ つ _ ༽つ
I honestly feel like it would be disrespectful to replace him. The only way I could see it working would be if he personally turns it over to another host before he kicks the bucket.
I guess you could say his life is in jeopardy!
Alex, no...
If we can have a dozen thread shitting on Brie Larson, can we at least have 1 thread dedicated to Alex without the mods deleting it?
fuck you carlos, not now
also this. going from bob barker to drew carey wasn't too jarring, but there isn't a soul on earth today that could possibly replicate trebek's passion, and his unique charisma. can remember a ton of episodes where after the first break he would rip into a contestant because they had some weird quirk about them, but doing it in a way that wasn't mean.
i believe in you alex, i know you can beat this
It won't get deleted, just archived with fewer than 50 posts.
Fucking finally. Didn't God hit him with like four strokes or something?
Now I can finally watch Jeopardy again.
>you'll never get cancer and die
feels bad, man
Ken might be the only person in the world that could do it, but I think he'd decline he offer.
>I take deadly diseases for 600, Alex
never say never
He'll be fi-
>In late December 2007, just after filming the pilot episode for The Beast, Swayze began to suffer a burning feeling in his stomach caused by a blockage of his bile ducts. Three weeks later, in mid-January 2008, he was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer.
>can remember a ton of episodes where after the first break he would rip into a contestant because they had some weird quirk about them, but doing it in a way that wasn't mean.
This, Trebek has the comfiest style of bantz that can't be replicated.
Only Ken Jennings could replace him.
I'd say Brad would be a better fit. He actually has hosting experience and doesn't come off as an autistic like Ken.
Surprising how few people care on here. Well they'll pretend to only when he's dead and gets a sticky.
He has charisma and he also was able to appear knowledgeable about almost every topic without seeming like a douche (I'm sure he was primed but he still would nail those foreign pronunciations)
He was fun in Classic Concentration
Jeopardy! and watching Frasier and Columbo are the few things I enjoy on TV.
The return of Trebek's disembodied mustache.
hey grandpa, hows it going? Did you get the scotch I sent you? Don't tell gram-gram!
My sister was on the February 5 episode, I flew to CA with her to be in the audience
Ask me anything
Rude bitch. I'll let it slide because I want you to suck my dick.

>The reason Pancreatic Cancer has such a high mortality rate is because there's no screening process to detect it
>The only way people know they have it is after it's spread, by then it's usually too late to do anything
Bros...
How long does it take to film an episode? Is it as fast paced live as on TV? Do the interviews after the first break get edited heavily?
>my time could be up right now
feels good desu
>How long does it take to film an episode? Is it as fast paced live as on TV?
Yup! Right about. They film five shows in a day.
>Do the interviews after the first break get edited heavily?
Between what I saw in person and what I saw on TV there wasn't much editing at all, it could be different depending on the episode.
How'd she do?
She finished last. :(
That's okay. Just having a slot on the show is a huge honor in my book. Did she have fun?
Is your sister cute? is she single?
post her feet
Oh, I remember that episode. I was appalled that nobody got Final Jeopardy correct.
Alex, no...
>Alex Trebek has stage 4 pancreatic cancer
who
I admire his optimism. But pancreatic cancer is a fucker, and stage 4 is a mother fucker. It's basically getting cancer and type 1 diabetes at the same time.
This board is filled to the gills with zoomers what do you expect
If he's not lying this is her. She was a little ditzy, but I was rooting for her.
mycbs4.com
There aren't any 500 answers nowadays.
you won 1000$.
Also, a woman of course
What a cringeworthy thread title
>we're gonna get this done
no you ain't nigga, you dead
I would take her out on a date and never call
Thinking back, I was wondering if she was chewing gum while playing, but there's no way the producers would allow that. She just did this weird thing with her mouth and how she talked like she was chewing gum. She was still cute, though.
>Get diagnosed with terminal Pancreatic Cancer
>Given months to live
>Decide to forgo any kind of chemo, would rather live your remaining time in good health with friends and family than prolong your life in a weakened, lethargic state
>Quit your minor role on GoT
>Get your affairs in order, release an album with Roger Daltrey and go on a farewell tour with your band.
>Wait to die......
>Keep waiting....
>Awkwardly inform the doctors that you're still not dead when you really should be.
>They re-test you and find it's actually a much less aggressive cancer
>Have an 11 hour op and become cancer-free
What a rollercoaster.
my gramps died of pancreatic cancer last year. its a real bitch of a disease, survival rate is way fucking low. poor Trebek :(
you could get yearly scans I guess
Holy shit. Does she go to a university in the southeast? I legit think I had this girl in my class. She talked about being on jeopardy once. Be vague if you want, I’m just genuinely curious.
It's actually not, especially for diabetics. It spread to the liver fast though, and then your skin turn yellow/orange and you die in about 3 weeks.
t. my dad
Just realized I quoted someone who wasn’t the original guy.
I hate to expose his sister, but this is really easy information to find out her exact name. She goes to UF, so you probably do know her.
based
don't remind me
I'm getting tired of this pancreatic cancer shit.
FWIW, I had kidney cancer discovered at stage 1 by accident, because I had kidney stones in the other kidney. I wouldn't be here now otherwise. (Its survival rate when removed before it spreads is basically normal life expectancy.)
trebek will fight and win and we will say nothing but. this is the way of all noble people.
Ok yeah. I was in a class with her. Small ass world.
Hopefully no one. Trebek is Jeopardy.
Watson is the only acceptable choice
Yup. She's still getting $1000 in the mail lol.
DID SHE CHEW GUM ALL THE TIME?! I HAVE TO KNOW!!
Oh shit, Gainesville's finest
Dunno. I sat in front of her in my class. I don’t think she participated a whole lot, and when she did it was standard feminist analysis/rhetoric you’d expect from any chick majoring/taking classes in LA
what, you can't screen it ?!?!?! There's gotta be blood tests wtf
i wouldn't be surprised if they tried it. i bet they have seasons worth of backlogs for video questions with trebek so they can fire all the human hosts and just have the whole thing run behind the scenes. probably save millions this way
WHAT THE FUCK ITS REAL
THEN WHO WILL SUCK IT, TREBEK?
>standard feminist analysis/rhetoric
Universities attract limousine liberal feminists like shit attracts flies
Funny, I was her seat in class. Her braps were decadent.
Why is this story everywhere, and is even being shilled here on Yea Forums. I have seen so many threads. I do not get it. Yes people like Trebek, but he is just another person. And is not even dead yet. Like wtf. I am 100% positive this board and most of Yea Forums is one giant psyop.
No kidding. It wouldn't bother me so much if the way they participated wasn't so canned. My friend and I had a game where we counted how many times people would open up with
>uhm, well I feel like...
Has Yea Forums fallen so far they'll now fantasize about inhaling the BRAAAAPPPs of an unironic college feminist?
>And is not even dead yet.
A diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is as good as a six-month death sentence, since it is rarely discovered before stage 4.
>alex trebek
>a man who has graced our screens for over two decades
>a man who puts aside his own popularity to showcase the smartest people (read: most robust on seemingly random topics) we have walking on the planet
>a man who we've known for this long, someone who tries to not put himself in the spotlight, now has a disease which kills 97% of those diagnosed
if you dont feel for trebek, this is how you know you're underage
Indeed, smol
>Beavis tattoo
>Ken Jennings decline
are you kidding me. his entire life is sitting around next to the phone, waiting for the call
he wants it bad, and I hope that mormon fuck doesn't get it
EVEN BAZILLIONAIRES CANT STOP PANCREATIC CANCER
>SHIEEEEET
TREBEK NEEDS TO BEAT THE ODDS THOUGH, SOMEONE'S GOTTA SUCK IT
They're working on a blood test as we speak.
It was a form of pancreatic cancer, a neuroendocrine tumor (NET). He lived 8 years after diagnosis.

Steve Jobs was specifically the exception, he got a rare early diagnosis and pissed it away with holistic crap.
>implying ibm watson hasn't watch every episode of jeopardy and has copied every mannerism and every nuance of trebek so he can come back as a hologram host
Very disappointing that she's a tattoo'd harlot.
Idris Elba
lol your sister is dumb
M8, she missed the Kavanaugh question. And she bitches about what an evil rapist he is. Yet the moment she could've legitimately made money saying his name "Scalia" comes out instead.
I wish we could have had a movie where him and Kurt Russell were brothers.
His sister couldn't get this.
In fact nobody could despite it being so obvious.
What is the Pony Express?
correction, a woman of colour!
Tumblr is already celebrating, cause they know whats gonna happen.
>my stepdad got it but neither did my sister or the other two
JUST
