It has been almost 18 months since Alex Trebek was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer, and he is still going strong. Today, the beloved Jeopardy gave us a health update, and it was filled with good news. “I am doing well,” he said. “I have been continuing my treatment. And it is paying off, though it fatigues me a great deal. My numbers are good. I’m feeling great.”
He is feeling so great that he wrote a book, The Answer Is…: Reflections on My Life, that comes out on Tuesday.
He does not know when he will be back in the studio recording new episodes of Jeopardy because of the coronavirus, but he is hopeful it will be soon. In the meantime, he is recording intros for some special episodes, including the first show he hosted, that will be airing soon.
