It was announced a few minutes ago that he passed away this morning from his battle with pancreatic cancer.

Really sucks. I had a aunt this year pass from pancreatic cancer as well, and it was like Trebek, at first seemed like the treatment was going good through the course of a year, and then it turned, and they were lost. If there is maybe any kind of silver lining, it's maybe that Trebek's diagnosis and sharing of his battle may have brought more awareness to pancreatic cancer.

Crazy we lost 2 people this close together who were mocked in some of the funniest Saturday Night Live skits of their time.
Sean Connery on "Celebrity Jeopardy" was always gold.

One of the best game show hosts of all time without question. Another tough loss from a total sh** year.
RIP Mr. Trebek

I loved how he would flawlessly pronounce foreign words in the questions. I'm glad he isn't suffering anymore.

I met him a couple of times. He was a really cool person and took the best picture with my mom. He hugged her and the smile was so genuine.

I wonder who will replace him. I mean when Art Fleming died the show still went on with Alex hosting. I think whoever replaces Alex will have really big shoes to fill
