He passed away at 80 from pancreatic cancer this morning.

My MIL died from the same thing and it is arguably the worst cancer, even celebrities cannot beat it.

"Trebek for decades had been the foundation of “Jeopardy!,” one the most popular game shows in television history. He was known for his wit and fast-paced delivery, and won the Guinness World Record in 2014 for “the most episodes ever hosted by the same presenter.” He was under contract to host the trivia show through 2022, and said he planned to see it through despite his cancer."
 
RIP, and thanks for all the years of entertainment.
 
Sad, sad day. :( Almost like losing a member of the family . . . raised my daughter (now in college) watching Jeopardy together as a family almost every night after family dinner . . . for many, many years.

RIP!
