Oh dear Alex, when someone loves you, helping you through the illness journey is never a burden to them. Every minute with a loved one is a gift. Remember the burden is that terrible cancer, never you.
HelloYou! Thank you for this comment. So true! I took care of my husband for 2 years before he passed away from cancer. I never felt he was a burden. I was happy to be there for him.
I feel sorry for him. I wish instead of suffering from poison chemo, he would consider natural cures like cannabis oil that saved 2 friends of mine!
I have two brothers with cancer 😭 they feel the same way as Alex does 😭 I am there for them everyday because I love them 😍
@@zeek4749 Prayers for your brothers! Have they tried natural cures like cannabis oil that saved 2 friends of mine? thetruthaboutcancer.com/
Yes yes yes. Please, Mr. Trebek, if you somehow see this: that is so important! Believe your wife when she says you're no burden. I'm sure she has help, too, if she needs it. I'm Happy to be able to help someone that I care for, it's a way to express my love.
When his voice cracked talking about his wife 😭😭😭
Right?!?

TJ did a good job. Handled Alex with care and good humor. Both shined in this interview. Love, love, love, Alex Trebek.
one of the best interviews i ever seen
Absolutely!

I just love Alex Trebek!
The love he has for his wife and the fact that he's giving ALL the book money to charity.... what an absolute angel! ❤ we love you Alex!!
I feel sorry for him. I wish instead of suffering from poison chemo, he would consider natural cures like cannabis oil that saved 2 friends of mine!
LifeisA Dream You are absolutely unqualified to make any statement on any medical therapy. Just by that comment, it is clear how uneducated you really are
@@kkdoc7864 I trust thousands of years of proven cures, not 100 years of Rockefeller bought scam science.
THE ROCKEFELLERS AND WESTERN MEDICINE...
In the early 1900s, John D. Rockefeller bought part of the massive German pharmaceutical company, I.G. Farben. The same company that would later assist Hitler to implement his eugenics-based vision founded on racial supremacy, by manufacturing chemicals and poisons for war. Rockefeller wanted to eliminate the competitors of western medicine, so he submit a report to Congress in 1910. This report concluded that there were too many doctors and medical schools in America, and that all the natural healing modalities which had existed for thousands of years were unscientific quackery. It called for the standardization of medical education, whereby only the allopathic-based American Medical Association (AMA) be allowed to grant medical school licenses in the US. Allopathy became the standard mainstream modality, introducing the practice of synthetic drugs and the injection of toxic heavy metals like lead and mercury.
Rockefeller offered huge grants to top American medical schools, under the guideline that only an allopathic-based curriculum be taught. He systematically removed any mention of the natural healing power of herbs and plants, or of the importance of diet to health. Once people had become dependent on this new system and the drugs it provided, the system switched into a paid program, creating lifelong customers for the Rockefellers. Currently, medical error is the third leading cause of death in the US.
LifeisA Dream First of all, medical error is not the third leading cause of death in the US. It is lumped into “accidents” category which is about 6% of all deaths and includes all motor vehicle, workplace incidents, disasters like explosions and burns etc etc. Secondly, the study of Medicine as practiced at the turn of the 20th century needed revamping. There should always be a standard of care under the mantra of “First, Do No Harm”. Whether or not the change was instituted by capitalism or by folks like Lister, Halstead, Salk or other characters is important only because anti capitalists demonize profit. While I agree that we doctors use far too many meds, the use of “holistic” approaches is only frowned upon when sufficient studies are unavailable, and claims of cures are anecdotal as you mentioned in your comment. To prove a treatment works takes a lot of research. A good study requires fulfilling a number of criteria : it should be prospective, double-blind, have a very large population being tested with all interfering factors eliminated and have a p value of less than 0.05 Otherwise you cannot conclude that cannabis or anything else “works”. Those are the standards.
@@kkdoc7864 Vaccines don't use double blind studies either. Bought and paid for studies are like the cops shooting someone and then deciding to "investigate themselves". Why is Cannabis still schedule 1? Because if it wasn't it would be really tested and then its game over for Big Pharma. I've seen first hand it save 2 friends of mine! That's not anecdotal, that's eye witnessing it work as soon as they started taking it. I bet you think its anecdotal when perfectly healthy babies turn sick or autistic or dead IMMEDIATELY after getting shot up with vaccines. Its called trusting your eyes and ears not fraudulent studies that have billions of dollars of incentives to lie. WAKE UP!
Just learned the news that he didn’t make it. May he Rest In Peace 😔
Same here. Trebek FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT. I think everyone was pulling for him. He will be sorely missed. RIP!
No one "Makes" it the 2% survival rate is not a survival rate is mis-diagnosis
@@dee_dee_place do
I thought the same exact thing too! His battle with cancer had him in pain for a long time and with that, he sadly didn’t make it.😢😢
I can’t believe he’s 80. He looks much younger than that.
He looks great!
He looks a solid 65 haha
Fabulous
He looks a solid 78
Good surgeons, dermatologists, and make up.
I have to agree with another person. The interviewer did an excellent job LISTENING and waiting ....
Yes TJ is such a great interviewer!
What an incredible human being! Modest, compassionate, generous.... can feel the daily pain he lives with though. He’s hiding it well. Alex, we love you and hope to see you back on Jeopardy!
I love you Alex. You're a special person. I told you once that my sister Deloris passed with liver and pancreatic cancer. The surgeon operated on het and came out crying. He told her and her husband and children and me that she might live 3 to 6 months!!!! Her cancer was in the last stage!!!! She lived for 11 more years!!! Yes, she had some pain but she wasn't on morphine, never had hospice either. We all just prayed a lot for her, a bunch of people prayed for her!!!! I pray for you when Jeopardy comes on. Love and prayers, Eleanor Jeanie Linkous
Alex is a credit to humanity--period. Much love and respect to him.
And the way he choked up while talking about "Jeanie..."
@@jessicalillianweinberg4401 Very few women in that class worth choking up about. It all goes to their heads and men like Trebek become stepping stones in a series--not husbands or even lovers. Sad, but true. She must be very special. God bless.
"Credit to humanity"? He's working himself to death! Why not take the last few years/months/days off? He said he has to put his affairs in order but hasn't done so! Come on Alex!
@@AGTsakumis I know Jean is a lot younger than him (she was in her 20s, and he was around 50, when they got together) but they have been married 30 years.
@@jbohnoff I was really struck by how, as TJ points out, Alex really "buried the lead," to use the journalism term. The fact that he's actually doing well on his current course of treatment got very downplayed...maybe he's afraid of jinxing it? Or trying to preserve some privacy? In the articles that have been written recently, he sounded...not so optimistic anymore, and then this interview took a different tone. It struck me that not having the show to do anymore could also be making a difference towards his attitude toward continuing to fight. Yet, ironically, it's partly because of his condition that they had to suspend production. I love the way the fans supported that decision because protecting Alex is so important to them.
He is such a lovely man, so heartbreaking to hear him say that he feels like a burden. I want to hug him so bad 😢❤️
TJ's genuine excitement at the good news of Alex's health is such a reflection of how so many people love Alex and want the best for him
And as TJ mentions, Alex kind of downplays that part, which is the happiest part. Plus, it sounds like such a good result on the treatment he is doing is usual.
@@jessicalillianweinberg4401
I love Alex. He's courageous and a wonderful person.
The man looks good for 80 - let alone for 80 and with pancreatic cancer! You are in my prayers every night Alex Trebek - I'm hoping you beat this so you can give others with the same cancer some hope. I wish you well.
He's 80? wow!
Diane 2003.....you’re right!!! He’s awesome 😎 looking!! God bless you and keep you Alex!!
Being wealthy helps.
He looks good for 50!
He also sounds much younger like in his 30's.
Everyone commenting hasn't mentioned the interviewer once. This man knows how to bring personality and emotion to an interview without becoming maudlin. Really enjoyed this more than the others I've seen since Mr. Trebek contracted this horrible disease. Thank you, Mr. Holmes, for this report, your skill in bringing it to us, and, from what we can all tell - your love for one of our national treasures. Well done, sir, very well done.
I was thinking the same thing, he did a wonderful job ❤️
Wasn’t his interview lovely? What a warm, personable professional he is. Not an easy “pitch” to hit, and he nailed it.
Ooooo no, that was the 1st thing i noticed....up until this interview i have never seen J.T. Holmes, but i thoroughly enjoyed his interview and really like him. It didnt seem like an interview but more like 2 old friends catching up. Also very emotional, but in the good way. Smile cry type emotions
I know. He was so lovely, warm, and encouraging.
Thank you for the new vocab word...maudlin....I always look up words I don't know 👍
He passed away today 😭😭 November 8th 2020 A true icon, God bless you Alex!❤
Rest in peace Alex, you deserve so much more than this world can give you. Goodnight Trebek, we will always love you.
My whole heart. I miss him already. What a beautiful soul.
My gosh. This man is phenomenal. This cancer illness saddens me. He is a fantastic person...wow. Love Jeopardy. Keep fighting, Alex.
He always looked so good, he didn’t even look sick, he looked way younger than 80. Rip Alex Trebek....you are free. 🙏🏽
Right? I think he looked 20 years younger than he actually was.
Yes he looked so good!
I hope he lives to 100!!
A true gentleman.
😢
He's gone I would watch the show with my mom ❤️😢
I'm really impressed by how good he looks, my father had pancreatic cancer and I remember how frail he looked a year after his diagnosis.
Happened to my Mom,gave her 3 months after diagnosis. The last month didn't seem like the Mom I knew.
I feel sorry for him. I wish instead of suffering from poison chemo, he would consider natural cures like cannabis oil that saved 2 friends of mine!
@@LifeisA_Dream ĺ
Klingon Hustler It depends where the cancer started. If it’s in the tail of the pancreas, it is almost impossible to diagnose early because of very few symptoms. At the head of the pancreas, chances are symptoms will present if the bile or pancreatic ducts are blocked or affected by the tumor. So location is important.
@Altair IV Yep check my channel!
This man is a national treasure and I will cry when we lose him.
ndisfoshiz I will too, but hopefully that will be later rather than sooner.
Dont count him out, yet. Im praying he does make it passed February
Well he sadly has passed away today😭😢🥺
@@clipsbeforetime7018 may he rest well
Sad to hear of his passing but he lived a long good life . I’m 40 and was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer last year but with the help of prayers and immunotherapy I’m in remission 🙏🏼😇
I wish you the best
I've heard very good things about immunotherapy...cutting edge...best of luck to you!
Best of luck i wish you a long healthy life
🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@HayateAzekura thank you
TJ is just the BEST interviewer..with a million dollar smile..Prayers for Alex..he's such a great inspirational man who has delighted us with his humor for decades.
May God bless this beautiful man.
Meet this man in 2000 with his family...he was so wonderful and caring of everyone around him.
One of the best interviews I've seen in a while. It's funny because he's pessimistic enough to stay grounded in the reality that his condition could worsen, yet he hasn't set his affairs in order and he has the conviction that he'll return back to Jeopardy. He genuinely seems like a great guy, and I hope he recovers from this.
What a beautiful man. My heart goes out to him. ❤🙏🙏🙏
Alex is one beautiful gent. He is so very kind, thoughtful, and humble. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday on Wednesday ... Alex ♥️
He passed away today god bless his soul❤️🕊 we appreciate you 🤟🏾
80 with cancer this guy looks amazing. Rip sir Alex ☹️
he literally looks 20 years younger
A great man and his wife too. Love and respect him. My prayers are with Alex and his family.
What a beautiful soul!!!!!!!
What a thoughtful and respectful interviewer. It’s odd to say it in this context, I guess, but it was such a pleasure to watch this interview.
"He's tanned, he's rested, and he's ready...the NEW Alex!" Wonderful to see his tenacity...that coupled with his mentally balanced, non-hateful, uniting approach to life has clearly helped him more than some other recent and former victims of this disease. He's even still got a work ethic...that's more than you can say regarding nearly 50% of the current US populace....good for him-- we need more like him.
It’s hard to see him after his death this morning. May he Rest in Peace
You know when you can tell that someone is a great human being and Alex is certainly that.
why? why is this man being idolized?
he read questions from a card?
AMERICA really needs better roll models
Rest in peace Alex. You fought a hard fight. Cancer is so scary, as a survivor myself, I am deeply saddened to hear about your passing. We lost a very great man.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@gigibibi6832 we love you Alex we'll miss you man amen
He was an a@sss I hope you know.
I went to high school with his wife, I didn’t know her well then and don’t know her at all now, but she certainly sounds like a wonderful women.
Please pray for Alex trebek 🙏🙏🙏
Alex is dead on that when your quality of life is gone, you stop being so averse to death. Bless him and his wife, though. Family is never just "a burden."
Maybe pick a different first 3 words there bud
@@EATSLEEPDRIVE2002
Obi Wan Kenobi I was going to say, it’s lucky that it was just some poorly phrased wording. But in my experience there’s no such thing as luck
@@EATSLEEPDRIVE2002 Well it's true now unfortunately
We're praying for you, Alex. You're a true inspiration!
Awwwwww man my childhood!!! You are an amazing man ... wishing you health and the quality of life you speak of ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Clearly, Alex is nearing the end of his treatment as he himself has said that if this latest round is not successful then he will cease further treatment. Pancreatic cancer stage 4 is as serious as it gets and Alex has handled it with such goodness and courage. His existence is all that is needed to show that there is good in this world. God bless you Alex.
Rest in Peace... im in shock
when you take your wedding vows...."for better or for worse"....SO meaningful and not saying it's easy....KUDOS to Mrs. Trebek.....and all respect to BOTH of them!
You will be missed. Many hearts broke today. Thank you for the memories. Peace and love to your family. ❤
I'm so glad Alex Trebek asked Ken Jennings to help him co-narrate the audio portion of his new book. He could have asked anyone in the world and he asked Ken. He probably wants him to be the next host. I wonder if James Holzhauer is jealous.
The next host is most likely going to be Anderson Cooper. They haven't publicly announced it, because they want Alex to host for as long as possible. And they have no plans on replacing him. But my inside sources say Cooper's at the top of the list. Behind Cooper is Michael Strahan. But they really want Cooper. Ken is not even on the shortlist.
ken is an opportunist. the show will leave the air entirely.
i wish his son or his wife would take the job. Viewership would be better. I am not watching Ken.
@@cashed-out2192 Alex does not have any say in who would succeed him as host. That Duty would fall onto Merv Griffin. But since Merv Griffin has been dead for over a decade, it would fall to whomever runs Merv Griffin's company.
Except Merv sold out to the King Bros. and the King Bros. sold out to Sony TV Corp. @@joeybaseball7352
Sending light and love Alex.. Going through stage 4 melanoma with a brain tumor removed in January.. I am on Keytruda (Immunotherapy). xoxoxoxoxoxoxo God bless the caretakers too!!!! xoxoxo

Sending love and hugs. Fight with everything you have. ❤️
I feel sorry for him. I wish instead of suffering from poison chemo, he would consider natural cures like cannabis oil that saved 2 friends of mine! I hope you will consider it too Sharon. thetruthaboutcancer.com/
Love and hugs from Canada! ❤️
You can tell as he is doing this interview that he is in severe pain.
Immunotherapy sucks. It's very painful.
I did 6 weeks and I couldn't take it anymore. I had determination to finish the 6th treatment .
Since then, there are no other venues. My system won't survive radiation and chemo. The surgery is out of the question. I wouldn't survive the anesthesia.
I will live until I die.
Not looking forward to the end. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Hugs Kristy ❤️ you are being thought of and prayers are being sent for you
Prayers for you...I can't imagine...a comment full of grace
Kristy Rodriguez 🙏🙏🙏
Praying for healing and comfort during this time for you, prayers that the cancer is wiped clean from your body.❤️
Prayers to you!
SUCH a beautiful interview. Alex really showed the beauty and ugly truth of cancer. Hoping he'll have remission very soon.
1st time ive seen TJ Holmes and just like Alex Trebek, hes one of my new favorite people. I hope to see much much more of them both in the future.
Love u Alex your one of the best.i pray for u every day and nite my grandma kids always say when 7pm comes around hurry grandma your boyfriend is on they no how much I love and respect u so much I have my special saint Anthony he is a miracle Saint and i believe in Miracles i pray u have no more pain God will heal u.love jojo from Brooklyn new york
I grew up watching Jeopardy for many years in the 1990s and 2000s. It was always a very informative program. I always knew Alex Trebek had a respectful tone with all guests on the program and he always appeared very humble. This interview verifies what I already knew about this very respectable man.
Jeopardy was part of my childhood too.
@ Anonymous Someone My late father, who spoke very little English, watched Jeopardy every evening until he was too ill due to cancer. Not only was the show entertaining for him, I believe it helped improve his understanding of English and expanded his vocabularies. In my opinion, Jeopardy is the best game show on TV with the best host! 🥰
He passed away today. R.I.P. 🙏🏽 loved his energy in this interview.
This interviewer is amazing! Personable, direct, pleasant, understanding, mood-matching, just an all around amazing reporter congrats on this very special story!!
Your # 1 in my books u will beat it I have faith we need u around your wife is a beautiful person inside and out I wish u health and my preys are with u and your wonderful family
What a great interview. Stay strong Alex, many of us are behind you and wishing you the very best!
Doesn't bode well. No treatment for this disease.
Stay strong Alex,prayers going your way. You are a wonderful person!!
@@francesutz1761 i worry about Al. i hope he does not end up in the hole, as did Bill Gates' dad, earlier in the week. Al does not deserve that.
What a great man - he is handling his battle with it so courageously and with humility for his wife - we all love you Alex. ❤️
Rest in Peace, Alex... WE LOVE YOU!!!!
When I saw this news today, I felt so sad and cried bc I always watch his show once I get home from work. It's not Jeopardy anymore without you. You will be missed. Rest in paradise now, Alex...🙏💐
God bless him! He has fought with all he has! He is loved by many!
I'm amazed how far he's come along, Good wishes Alex & Family
What an honest soul. Alex, we keep you in our prayers🙏❤
Rest In Peace🙏🏽
We all love Alex Trebek and pray for his survival for a long time to come.
I love you, Alex!!!!!
I love you Alex, you are not a burden with so many people praying 🙏 🙏 for you and loving you. You look amazing turning 80. You're a fighter and can't wait to see you back on Jeopardy!
Here after just hearing of his passing today, November 8th, 2020
It’s with a heavy heart to report that Alex Trebek has died at age 80.
good interview!! love this man, and hope and wish him well
So hard to go through this. He is inspiring!!
I grew up watching Jeopardy with my grandma Alex Trebek is a legend. Prayers for his healing.
We will miss you, Alex. Rest in peace.
I saw the interview this morning he looks great I wish him well he is such a great guy 💖💖💖💖
RIP to a legend...
Rest In Peace, Alex. Heaven is gaining a gentleman of an angel.
No one wants to die, we want to go on living, in a happy and healthy way.
I'm happy to hear Alex Trebek is doing so well God bless him I wish him the best of luck during his journey he is definitely a icon I love Jeopardy I've been watching him since I was a kid I couldn't imagine someone taking his place
Dear Mr. Trebek,
You were never a burden. Not to your sweet wife, not to your family, nor to your friends. You were a beacon of light for many, a presence that is irreplaceable. No one will ever beable to fill your shoes. I hope that you have found peace after putting up your best and strongest fight and may your family and loved ones be comforted by the support and thoughts being sent from all over the world. This was a tremendous loss for all of us and you will be dearly missed.
My husband died April 16th after being diagnosed 4 weeks before with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He was 73. He watched Alex’s Jeopardy show every night and he watched his interview about cancer. He was still working as a realtor. Had no idea. I miss him terribly. What a horrible cancer. I’m just happy he was able to die at home in the midst of this terrible pandemic.
What an inspiration!!
Positivity keeps him going 👍
I hope he's been written up in medical journals and other doctors are learning and changing their protocols based on whatever his doctor is doing different.
Yes.
Yea there injecting 100ccs of 100000000 dollars in his bloodstream
TJ compliments to your interview, you were so gracious and handled a difficult subject.
he was an angel 💔 it’s sad to see how much we was going through
I truly enjoy his presence and really hope for his journey to be peaceful whatever the outcome. My prayers are with him and his family. I love Jeopardy because of his wit ❤️🙏🏽
He sounds sick and looks like he was in a lot of pain
God Almighty be with his family,rip Alex Trebek.Cancer is horrid
God bless this man and his family, I pray for his full recovery!!
Sending him and his family abundant prayers.I pray hard he beats this deadly disease.
Rest easy big guy :(
Thank you Alex for everything! God Bless You. Great interview TJ.
Alex it does my heart good to see you walk out on that stage every night, I know the Lord has your back. Keep your trust hope and faith in God. He said he will never leave not forsake you. My hats off to your & family too.
My dad became diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer last year as well and is still here fighting just like you Alex! You guys are WARRIORS! KEEP FIGHTING!
If he is born again it will a wonderful exchange. I hope his soul is right with God
It doesn't matter what religion he is; he's a good person.
@Coldern Ice so, why should I shut up. You give your opinion on here, why can't I? He is such a precious individual, I was simply wondering if he is a born again believer.
Bobby Housley Amen. No heaven without repenting of your sin and believing the Gospel. “ All have fallen short of the Glory of a God” No one is good except for God. No one. Most are on the wide path, not the narrow road to salvation.
When you are rich, you think you’re ok, but fame is a deception. God willing, this illness can show Alex his need for forgiveness and reconciliation with a God through Jesus Christ His Son. Amen.
@@mariec4275 Amen 🙏
I was so blessed to interact with Alex on the TCM cruise a few years back while he was hosting a trivia contest for us patrons. He mentioned the Actor from Treasure of Sierra Madre " of course we all remember Alfonso Bedoya". I in my drunken stupor blurted out " who the hell remembers that guy?" Alex just stood in his classy judgmental stare and I slowly crawled across the floor to grovel at his feet. It got a great laugh, but I feel embarrassed that I was such an idiot. After the event he spent a long time meeting every person in the room. I love this man. God Bless you Alex.
RIP Alex
My father too, rest in peace 1937& 2012🙏🏾💜👍🏾
He is the classic gentleman, and the perfect man to interview him was chosen in T.J. Holmes, a gentleman himself.
He was my hero so sad 😭😭😭 that he past 💔😥😢 away
Sending you love and I pray you will have peace during this time of healing. Believe it you will be healed.
Love this man! Prayers to you and to your family Alex Trebek! Keep fighting 💪 🤜
Go Alex Go...✊🏽💕💕
