Fans of Jeopardy! and Alex Trebek have been supporting the host ever since he announced that he had been diagnosed with cancer. And they were just as supportive when the collection of behind-the-scenes clips of his Drivetime app commercial was shared on the show’s Instagram account.
Just one day after the video had been posted, it had received well over 15,000 views, with many followers leaving comments that expressed how much they enjoyed the chance to see Trebek looking well and appearing to be happy.
“Love you Alex and so funny! I’d watch Alex in anything and my prayers are with you,” one fan wrote, “Stay strong!”
“The more I see what how funny, approachable, and just genuinely NICE you are, Alex Trebek, the more I can’t help but love you,” added another admirer. “I hope you’ll be having fun for a long time — you’re in my prayers!”
Back in March 2019, Trebek expressed his gratitude for those who were sending their love, posting a video message on Twitter, saying, “Hi everyone. I just want to take a few moments to say thanks to the, believe it or not, hundreds of thousands of people who have sent in tweets, texts, emails, cards, and letters wishing me well following my recent health announcement.” He added, “I’m extremely touched by the warmth you have expressed in your comments to me. I’m a lucky guy.” We’re with you all the way, Alex!
