'What I would do on that day is tell the director, ‘Time the show down to leave me 30 seconds at the end.’ That’s all I want'
Photo: Gregg DeGuire/Getty Images With Alex Trebek continuing to fight his stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis , the beloved Jeopardy! host admitted in a new interview that he’s thoughtfully considered how he wants his final show to go. “It’ll be a significant moment for me,” Trebek, who’s hosted Jeopardy! since 1984, told ABC. “But I’ve kind of, in my mind, rehearsed it already.”
While Trebek insists the show’s format will remain the exact same for his last hoorah , he has one request that will inevitably be honored. “What I would do on that day is tell the director, ‘Time the show down to leave me 30 seconds at the end.’ That’s all I want,” he explained. “And I will say my goodbyes and I will tell people, ‘Don’t ask me who’s going to replace me because I have no say whatsoever.
This hour-long interview special with ABC, which featured Trebek’s wife Jean, also revealed that Trebek is experiencing bouts of “depression and sadness” in addition to his cancer diagnosis. “I’m not always the most pleasant person to be around when I’m experiencing severe pain or depression,” he said, “and she has to tread lightly around me.
