Alex Trebek Jeopardy: Alex Trebek close to tears after Jeopardy! contestant's surprise answer

Fans of longtime "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek have been sending messages of love and support since the star revealed he was diagnosed withstage 4 pancreatic cancerearlier this year. But one man took the kind words a step further — and delivered a surprise answer during an episode of the game show that nearly brought the icon to tears.

Instead of choosing an answer to the "Final Jeopardy!" question of Monday night's "Tournament of Champions" game, contestant Dhruv Gaur wrote "We love you, Alex!"

As the host read the message, he began to choke up. When the camera panned, Trebek appeared to be getting emotional.
