Alex Trebek

But be ready to cry.

There will never be another like the man, the myth, the legend: Alex Trebek.

Alex Trebek was one of the thousands of people who lost his life to pancreatic cancer this year. Trebek suffered from Stage 4 pancreatic cancer which normally has a one-year survival rate.

Trebek was beloved by generations of trivia fans.

Alex Trebek, the beloved host of Jeopardy!, has died following a battle with pancreatic cancer.

The 78-year-old TV icon on Wednesday said he plans to fight the disease and its low survival rate, with support from loved ones and fans.

Jason Sterlacci, a middle school teacher from Union County has moved on to the semifinals of the 2016 Jeopardy Teachers Tournament!

Alex Trebek is a cultural institution, a beacon of knowledge and grace under pressure. Everyone loves him. Which is why it’s always amusing to watch the unflappable host of Jeopardy say silly words and phrases in that reliable deadpan of his. A recent episode of the immortal game show saw him forced to say the name “Turd Ferguson,” which should amuse anyone with a passing knowledge of modern comedy.
