On Monday's episode of "Jeopardy!," game show contestant Dhruv Gaur almost brought Alex Trebek to tears. Gaur had no chance of winning in FinalJeopardy, so he took the opportunity to write the Sudbury, Ont.,-native a message while wagering $1,995. "What is We [heart] you, Alex!" - Dhruv Gaur. Trebek, who is battling Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, became emotional but held it together. "That's very kind of you, thank you. Costs you $1,995." -Alex Trebek. All of the contestants were also wearing purple ribbons to show their support for the 79-year-old host. Shortly after, #WeLoveYouAlex started trending on social media. (The Canadian Press)
