Trebek, a native of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, has hosted the syndicated quiz show since 1984.
After announcing his diagnosis in March, Trebek said he planned to beat the disease’s low survival rate with the love and support of family and friends and with prayers from viewers -- support only amplified after his public appearance at the basketball game in Los Angeles.
