Alex Trebek/Jeopardy Tribute Thread

Thanks.

I needed that.

 

A former co-worker’s wife beat five or six years ago, so it’s possible.

 

My three favorite things about Alex Trebek:

1) How “angry” he gets when contestants don't get Canada-related questions

2) His insistence on providing the strongest possible accent on non-English words or clues.

3) That he has never been in my kitchen.

 

Shit there's a lot of dust in the air

 

Damn, I hate to hear this. I've been watching Jeopardy! since high school many, many years ago — maybe even before Trebek was the host (it's been so long, it's hard to remember). Good luck, Mr. Trebek.

 

Really hope he can beat the odds. He's an institution. Jeopardy is on in the office every night.

 

I think you’re right about that. Pancreatic cancer is so bad for that very reason — no symptoms. By the time it’s diagnosed, it’s already metastasized to the point where it’s game over. If it’s caught early it’s very treatable with high survival. I hope a screen for this can be implemented widely.

 

I can't think that any cancer is a "good way to go" but, from what I've seen, pancreatic cancer is, especially, awful.

Look up Patrick Swayze's interviews while he had it where he would talk about the regimen he endured every morning just to get out of bed. And he had the resources.
