That's what they said about Art Flemming.
Sad to contemplate Alex’s departure from the stage of life.
Seriously, at 79 and stage 4 cancer, why in the world is he staying on TV.
This dude is a real trooper... How many people would hang in there given the same prognosis? Not many.
He truly enjoys his job and if nothing else, his spirit in the fight against cancer should be inspirational to all those who are fighting the good fight.
Slurred words? We don't care! We'd rather have you--slurred words or not! We understand! We're with you!
Stay as long as you can!
” Following his initial diagnosis, his first rounds of chemo had been successful”
No, they weren’t
As somebody committed to excellence I can understand that he would not want to continue on not giving his best.
Prayers for Alex.
Bring on the next reprobate Hollywood personality to host. I no longer care.
Jeopardy! was removed from my viewing pleasure 10+ years ago, when Alex introduced a sodomite contestant who in turn introduced his *wife* in the audience. Disgusting.
I turned off the TV for good at that time. It’s a sesspool of degenerate value norming: Counterfeit marriage, counterfeit sexes (there are only two), men using women’s restrooms and shower facilities, men competing as women — it’s insanity.
What percentage of patients who undergo chemo and/or radiation therapy are actually helped or cured by it? So often they seem to get sicker and then expire. I have an elderly cousin who has cancer and declined chemo/radiation therapy. He’s lived on for several years without it. Of course, every case is individual.
From the time my dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer until he was dead was 5 months.
Now days some people make it a full year.
“Alex Trebek Mulls Early Jeopardy! Exit...”
Alex Trebek Mulls Early Exit.
At reported at “79”, not so early.
He’s a gutsy guy in every way. I’m hoping he recovers but in the end, his fate is in the hands of the Almighty.
We will miss Trebek, but his type of cancer is maybe the worst type. It is very painful and debilitating. Prayers for his journey to be as pain free as possible.
[Jeopardy won’t be the same without him.]
No matter who they replace him with, it will become as dull and boring and suffer the same daytime-slot fate as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire did when Regis left.....
He can’t be any worse than Dick Clark on New Years Eve after the stroke.
We will miss Trebek, but his type of cancer is maybe the worst type. It is very painful and debilitating. Prayers for his journey to be as pain free as possible.
How I LONG to hear these words by many of the fossils in Congress:
The Senator/Representative spoke candidly about his future in Congress!, acknowledging that the side effects of age/dementia may cause them to leave the Congress earlier than anticipated. “I talk to my constituents about this all the time now. I say, ‘Look, I’m slurring my words. My tongue doesn’t work as well as it used to, It makes it difficult for me to speak, think, and enunciate properly. And they say, ‘Well, we notice.’ I say, ‘I notice those things too.’ And I’m sure there are observant members of the public who notice also. But they’re forgiving, and I’ll accept that. I HAVE NO INTEREST IN DYING IN MY SEAT IN CONGRESS LIKE THE VERY SELFISH JOHN McCAIN. As if it matters. McCain will soon be forgotten by everyone but family.”
Hire Cliff Claven.
I’m surprised he kept going this long.
