'Jeopardy' host Alex Trebek reveals he has Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer

There are ads for the series with Alex, so plans are for him to be there. The holiday season and January are times where the networks use game shows for filler now, along with Summer so this fits in.

Per a friend of a Jeopardy! fan who went to the tapings on October 23, posted on a J! fan site:

Last night Alex had a cold, so I wonder if that cold is what gave him that cough. You have to figure with his current health situation that is worse than a regular cold. And yet he pushes through and keeps his positive attitude. In fact, his voice sounded better during most of the show than it did at the very beginning.
 
Cancer treatments leave you very susceptible to other types of infections.
My uncle is currently undergoing chemo, and has been in and out of the hospital
four times for various infections not directly related to the chemo or the cancer.
 
Michael Strahan's special last night revealed some amazing things. With all he has been through, he completed a construction project for his wife. He was up on the roof too. And he still arrives at work long before I'm even out of bed.
 
The Greatest of All Time competition started tonight. I won't spoil it, but it's possible to check into the ABC schedule for the next couple of weeks to see how many nights it runs and figure how many games whoever won did it in. THe show is supposed to run Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights.
 
It’s been suggested elsewhere ABC might actually add the additional episodes to scheduled as it becomes known they would be needed. So all may not be as program guides appear.
 
I read Alex has been having problems but he's so committed he doesn't care, and his positive attitude continues. I can't tell he's losing his abilities in any way.

This is confusing. Ken Jennings said it was harder on him to do two shows at once. Yet when he did one show at a time, they taped five shows in a day. Surely this can't be harder than that.

I think he probably meant playing two games back to back, like is done for finals in the tournaments and every round in this tournament as well.

If a seventh match is required, it would air that Friday.
 
Perhaps he’s playing to the illusion of TV. Or perhaps they are shorter pauses. Maybe he was suggesting it’s harder these years later.

All things considered, it’s not a big deal.
 
This is complicated, but people are used to my posts being complicated by now.

On April 23, possibly due to COVID-19, it became possible for me to read actual newspapers as they appear by signing in with my library card number at one library I don't go to that often.

One of these newspapers was at Myrtle Beach. Until April 23, I could only see the actual newspaper in Myrtle Beach, since a library closer to where I live cancelled the subscription.

So reading one newspaper per day that I had not seen, plus the paper for that day, means I am still not reading about COVID-19, although earlier this week, there was a tiny article about some terrible disease in China. There are more pleasant headlines such as Trump being impeached and attacking Iran and wildfires in Australia.

And in the newspaper I am looking at today, Alex Trebek says he hopes he and John Lewis survive the year. Sadly, one of them did not.
