Alex Trebek Is Loved

 

A contestant on Jeopardy last night brought a tear to host Alex Trebek’s eye.  It was one of the moments of our humanity that is bringing America together this morning.

The contestant, Dhruv Gaur, didn’t know the final answer, so instead, he wrote on his card, “What is … We [love] you, Alex!” (He drew a heart in place of the word “love.”)

Trebek, who is undergoing chemotherapy for Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, was caught off guard and had a bit of trouble continuing. Gaur later tweeted, “I’m just very grateful I got the opportunity to say what I know everyone was thinking. Sending all the love.”
