Bearded Alex Trebek Updates Fans, Says He's "Feeling Great" Amid Cancer Treatment

A newly bearded Alex Trebek provided a health update to fans on the Jeopardy! Twitter account on Thursday, telling fans he's doing well. "I've been continuing my treatment and it is paying off though it does fatigue me a great deal.

My numbers are good. I'm feeling great," the Jeopardy! host said.

Trebek also mentioned his memoir that will be released the day before his 80th birthday, on July 21.

The longtime and beloved host also talked about "very special 'Jeopardy!' episodes that will be coming up in July." "For the first time ever, we are going to open the 'Jeopardy!' vaults and take another look at some of our favorite episodes, including the very first 'Jeopardy!' show I ever hosted, mustache and all," he said.

"I can't wait to return to the studio and start recording shows for the new season in September," Trebek said.

"Meanwhile, my wish for all of you -- stay safe."
