Jeopardy host Alex Trebek, who has been fighting stage 4 pancreatic cancer, said that he may have to give up hosting the show because chemotherapy treatment he is undergoing causes sores in his mouth that inhibit his speaking clearly. Trebek told CTV’s Chief Anchor and Senior Editor Lisa LaFlamme, “I’m sure there are observant members of the television audience that notice also, but they’re forgiving. But there will come a point when they (fans and producers) will no longer be able to say, ‘It’s OK.'”
Trebek has hosted the show since 1984. The original daytime version of the show debuted in 1964 and was hosted by Art Fleming, airing until 1975. The version with Trebek debuted September 10, 1984.
