It’s still hard to believe that the iconic host of “Jeopardy!”, Alex Trebek, died Sunday after a long battle with cancer.

Alex Trebek did nothing but make you feel cool for being smart for 30 minutes every day for 36 years. And he stands up and it’s Alex Trebek.

Alex Trebek never pretended to have all the answers, but the “Jeopardy!” host became an inspiration and provided solace to Americans who otherwise are at odds with each other. He commanded his turf — the quiz show’s stage — but refused to overshadow its brainy contestants. And when he faced the challenge of pancreatic cancer, which claimed his life Sunday at age 80, he was honest, optimistic and graceful. Trebek died at his Los Angeles home, surrounded by family and friends, “Jeopardy!” studio Sony said.

Nearly one year after telling the world that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, "Jeopardy" host Alex Trebek has revealed that he is now one of 18% of patients to survive the first year following this kind of diagnosis. Trebek posted a video on the "Jeopardy" Twitter page to update fans about his health and his plans to be among the 7% of patients to reach the two-year mark. "Now I'd be lying if I said the journey had been an easy one," he said in the video. Trebek has served as the face of "Jeopardy" since the show debuted in 1984 and has acted as the host for nearly 8,000 episodes. For now, it doesn't seem that Trebek has any plans to retire from the gig.
