Alex Trebek Says He Might Have to Step Away From “Jeopardy!” Sooner Than He Hoped

By James St. James on October 7, 2019 11:01 am

Beloved game show host Alex Trebek says side effects from his Stage 4 pancreatic cancer treatments could soon force him to leave Jeopardy!

via TMZ:

The TV icon got real about his future during a recent interview, saying he’s starting to slur his words and his tongue isn’t working, at times, during taping — and he admits it might mean stepping away from the show sooner than he’d hoped.

In a candid conversation with CTV, shot on Friday, Alex reveals just how cancer and chemotherapy have started to diminish his skills. As we reported … Alex went for another round of chemotherapy last month, and he says the treatments are causing sores inside his mouth, making his role as a host more challenging than ever before.

So far, Alex says the show producers have been supportive and tell him everything’s fine, but isn’t sure how long that will last.
