Alex Trebek admits having "some regrets" about going public with his stage 4 pancreatic cancer diagnosis

“There are moments when I have some regrets about having gone public with it because … there’s a little too much of Alex Trebek out there, and I regret that,” the Jeopardy! host said in a recent interview with Canada’s CTV News. “To be the inspiration for a lot of other people makes me feel good, but it does place a responsibility on me that I feel I’m not deserving of.” Trebek again insisted he isn't afraid of dying, but says the cancer treatment has caused sores in his mouth that has made hosting more difficult than ever. But Trebek added that he could “suck it up when it’s time to film the show,” no matter how weak he may feel on the inside.
