That's all I want,'" he continued.
“I have learned something in the past year and it’s this: We don’t know when we’re going to die," he said on Thursdsay's special."Because of the cancer diagnosis, it’s no longer an open-ended life, it’s a closed-ended life because of the terrible … survival rates of pancreatic cancer.
"Throughout my life, I’ve always wondered about how courageous a human being I was," Trebek shared."I just look at it as it’s a part of life. Does that mean I’m courageous because I’m dealing with it? No. I could be scared to death and I’d still have to deal with it. But I'm not scared to death. So, maybe I am courageous."
