"Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek announced Wednesday he has Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Trebek said in a YouTube Video, "Now normally, the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I'm going to fight this, and I'm going to keep working."

Trebek said he was aware of the low survival rates, but he said in a lighter tone that he still has three years left on his contract.
