You better get through this Alex.

Edit: Rest in peace to a fine man, it's a shame he didn't get to finish his time on the show.

The greatest WINNER in the entire history of this show left with only five bucks.

You can tell he was touched and he felt bad the guy was gonna lose despite his kindness. My mom told me when I was 3 years old, while other kids would be playing with blocks and dolls, I would take an empty box, use it like a podium, and say, "This is Jeopardy!" Thank you Alex Trebek for all the years of entertainment and knowledge. To me, you will always be immortal. Rest in peace Mr Trebek and bless your heart, Dhruv Gaur.

My grandfather beat pancreatic cancer for 5 years and ended up dying from a heart attack. It is possible to beat. He had a whipple procedure.
