I knew this guy at work, Tim. He was young, in his early thirties. He was also a "big boy" with a beer gut and he loved his southern fried food and sweet tea. One year right after Thanksgiving, he became suddenly and severely ill and had to go to the hospital by ambulance. Once there, his stage IV pancreatic cancer was discovered. He was never stable enough to leave the hospital after that and was dead by Christmas :(

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Happy holidays!

Similar to the thread title I was going to post.

He sounds optimistic, but pancreatic cancer is especially a motherfucker. If it's stage 4 that means it's spread to other organs. Unfortunately it's not a matter if "if", but "when."
When you're trapped in a cage with a bear, you have to believe the bear can be reasoned with.

He's likely well aware of the reality and is probably doing this to make viewers feel better. I hope he spends the rest of his time doing things he wants to do.

The second-generation Pontiac Sunbird, introduced by the automaker for the 1982 model year as the J2000, was built to be an inexpensive and fuel-efficient front-wheel-drive commuter car capable of seating five.

ken jennings has fielded the "host jeopardy!?" question a shitload of times in years past and has shown absolutely no interest in it. somewhat with respectful deference to trebek still being the host, but also with seemingly genuine disinterest.

you never know, but i doubt he would do it. he has a pretty decent career as an author/podcaster/twittererer/quiz writer and assorted poo poo that does not require him to relocate his entire family to los angeles when he can just work from home in comfort instead.

honestly, jeopardy! will probably die soon after trebek. i dont think the majority of viewers (olds) will handle well to a new person telling them the answers. a shame, I love jeopardy!, but, that's just what i honestly think is going to happen.

When they have answers/catagories where it's "Now here's so and so with the clue", it can be Teller pointing at something over his shoulder with his thumb and making a 'wtf is that thing' expression.

Good news kids, I was offered tens of millions of dollars, that you would eventually inherit, to do the easiest job in the world and for us to move to Hollywood and live in a mansion next door to The Rock and Beyonce, but I turned it down because we're all just so comfortable in this 1 bathroom house in Tacoma!

Yeah he might only make $20,000 per episode instead of $45,000 or whatever Trebek makes!

I don't think they'd hire Jennings or anyone else instantly recognizable. Trebek's whole thing was never being the "star" of the show. Expect some anonymous newsreader with some other TV experience like Trebek was when he got the job.

Perpetuating the stereotype since 1978.
Art Fleming, the host of the first run of Jeopardy (1964-75), also died of pancreatic cancer, but that was like in the late 90s.

Trebek was asked about potential replacements last summer and he indicated that his choice would be some sportscaster in LA. Alex Fraust, I think?

Probably just wanted to keep the Alex branding though
