Alex Trebek has been very open about his health issues in the past and today he announced, in a video message, that he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer this week.
Although the prognosis is not good, the 78-year-old vows, “I’m going to fight this. I’m going to keep working. 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.”
Then his signature style he added, “Truth told, I have to because, under the terms of my contract, I have to host Jeopardy for three more years.”
He concluded his message with, “So help me. Keep the faith and we’ll win. We’ll get it done.”
As long as he keeps telling cancer he is going to kick its ass, he is going to do it. Not only that, he will be around long past the terms of three-year contract with Jeopardy. Heck, he’ll be around to sign a few more contracts.
If he can beat two heart attacks and fall that caused blood clots in the brain, then he can he show cancer who’s the boss! Sony who holds his contract. It is more enforceable than the Devil’s. Therefore, he ain’t going anywhere soon.
