Ugh. Of all people.
I watch Jeopardy every night religiously and actually hope to compete on it one day.

Just saw it's stage 4.

One of the worse cancers to get. Nasty, nasty shit. Lost a coworker a number of years back to it. He didn't last 3 months after diagnosis of Stage 4.

Rest in Peace Mr. Trebek.
My parents loved the show, and I did too.

RIP, Mr. Trebeck. You will be missed by many and forgotten by few.
I will be happy to see 2020 in the rear-view mirror, I can tell you that
