A contestant on 'Jeopardy' wagered all his cash on the final question, but his answer was actually a heartwarming message for Alex Trebek.
he was thereBut despite undergoing chemotherapy and fighting a hard battle, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing for Trebek.
In a series of tweets, Gaur revealed that backstage before last night’s episode, Trebek had revealed to the contestants that he needs to return to treatment. Gaur said he and the other competitors, who had all returned to the show for the Tournament of Champions after previous wins, were shocked and saddened by that news.
...for context, Alex had just shared with us that he was reentering treatment for pancreatic cancer. We were all hurting for him so badly. 2/nWhen Final Jeopardy came up, I could’ve tried to puzzle it together, but really, just kept thinking about Alex, and thought he should know. 3/nWriting the message instead of an answer meant that Gaur’s final score for the night was just $5, but he said he has no regrets.
I’m just very grateful I got the opportunity to say what I know everyone was thinking. Sending all the love.
