Jeopardy!’s longtime host Alex Trebek has always been a faithful man, having grown up in Catholic school. However, his faith has taken on a whole new meaning to him in the past year as he has dealt with a major health crisis. In the spring of last year, Trebek was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. His chances of beating the disease were slim. Since then he has relied upon his faith to sustain him and learned about what he feels is the power of prayer, according to Aleteia.
Trebek was recently honored at Fordham University and received the Fordham Founder’s Award. This award is granted to someone who has dedicated their career to the advancement of learning. This is of course what the trivia show Jeopardy! is all about. As he stood and addressed the crowd, Trebek emphasized the value of prayer.
