mark60Holy crap. That's a bummer.

fpuhanY'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.

ryan81986Fuck, 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.

BisleyblackhawkI just saw that on The Five

DakorDamn, 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.

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

JDHunzMy best friend was just diagnosed this past Thursday...needless to say, it’s been a rough week...

erj_pilotWell that pretty much bites a big one!

bubbatimeThat video literally brought me to tears. What a bummer.
A classy fellow for sure.
