Y'know, it's news like this (and the health diagnosis I just got) that make me re-think the idea of retiring later. I'm able to fully retire now, but can't imagine how I'd stay busy.

Of all the TV game show hosts, I think Alex Trebek is the best.




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

Fuck, man, I feel like everyone is getting cancer now. I've lost 3 in my own family from it just in the last 2 years.

Here's hoping his positivity and determination pays off, I can't imagine how hard it was for him to keep composure doing that message.

Stated by Alex Trebek:

'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.

'Truth told, I have to! Because under the terms of my contract, I have to host Jeopardy! for three more years!

'So help me. Keep the faith and we’ll win. We’ll get it done. Thank you.'




You can't beat an attitude like that. Smile




God bless America.

Damn, Alex is a classy guy. Saw him in an interview a decade ago where he called out the Press for their hype and ‘news creation’ before fake news became part of the lingo. He has my prayers.

I wonder if bendable has heard. I doubt he will host the show much longer. Prognosis is dim.

Well that pretty much bites a big one! Mad

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

That video literally brought me to tears. What a bummer.

A classy fellow for sure.
