Alex Trebek revealed in a video on Wednesday that he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

He said in the video, in keeping with my longtime policy of being open and transparent I have some news to share...just like 50,000 other people in the U.S. each year, this week I was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Alex has been hosting Jeopardy! for 35 years and said he will not only fight the disease but will continue to host the popular game show. He asked his fans to lift up prayers on his behalf.
