"Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek revealed in a YouTube video Wednesday that he has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

Trebek said in the video he was given the health update this week.

"Now 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. "And with the love and support of my family and friends and with the help of your prayers also, I plan to beat the low survival rate statistics for this disease."

How awful. I pray he can beat it. My Dad only lived six weeks after diagnosis. Horrible disease.

Coming to life reality on Ash Wednesday.
That’s interesting and a little ironic.
The truth, we all die.
My dad died from bone cancer.
It was awful.

Doesn't matter what you do. When it's time to go, it's time to go. Jimmy Fixx was an athlete and jogged daily and keeled over from a massive heart attack in his 30s. George Burns smoked cigars and lived to be a 100.

Well then, my Mormon survival room will be well stocked with Jack Daniel’s whiskey.

Whenever I get my cancer diagnosis, I will go out with 6 months of Heaven on Earth. Yahoo.

If he got regular checkups, which I’d assume he did, why didn’t they catch this much sooner?????
