Transcript

A thoughtful “Jeopardy” contestant brings host Alex Trebeck to tears during Monday show.

Dhruv Gaur wrote a message to Trebek on his final answer during the final Jeopardy round on Monday’s show.

It was obviously not the correct answer and Trebek was caught off guard and touched by the expression of love.

His voice cracked as he tried to continue.

The video is captioned.

Check it out.

Right before Gaur’s message, Trebek had shared with them that he was reentering treatment for pancreatic cancer.

Gaur tweeted: “When final Jeopardy came up, I could’ve tried to puzzle it together but really, I just kept thinking about Alex, and I thought he should know.”

Since announcing his diagnosis in March, Trebek has been working to make people more aware about the disease.
