ABC news is reporting it.


I watch Jeopardy most nights and he was looking pretty healthy so I was hoping for the best. Sad news.

Well Damn. He fought a good fight.

Really enjoyed him participating in the announcement of the NHL draft pick. A classy way a Canadian team honored him.

Godspeed.

He fought hard, and was an inspiration, its the one cancer there are very few answers for.

RIP

So sad. He lasted about the same time as my father from diagnosis to death of pancreatic cancer. RIP fellow Canadian

Truly a class act right until the end. He was obviously suffering during the last season of Jeopardy, but fought through it and did it his way. Much respect.

A class act for sure. There's no one that can fill his shoes...

Very, very sad. Jeopardy will not be the same without him.
