I wonder how many episodes they filmed. He seemed to be fighting this thing with some success

I don't watch Jeopardy much anymore, but I hope it can keep going. It's a throwback to a time when you didn't have to be a braying jackass to appear on TV - just very smart and actually good at something.

That really sucks. I always thought of him as a real gentleman - classy, intelligent and kind

Sad news. Pancreatic cancer is such a bad one. He had a great, dry, sense of humor; and he never took himself too seriously. May he rest in peace and his family find comfort.

From what I heard him say, his faith was in the right place as well. An Icon who will be missed.

I wonder if Sean Connery greeted him at the Pearly Gates by yelling,

"I'll take Anal Bum Cover for $100, Trebek!"

Was saddened to hear the news that he had passed away.

Jeopardy is/was one of the best shows on TV.

my folks had a golden retriever that would howl every time the jeopardy theme was played
