KLEENEX ALERT! during the “Final Jeopardy” round, Alex Trebek gets a powerful message of support from one of the contestants, that had himself and everyone else in tears.

As you know, “Jeopardy” host Alex Trebek has been fighting pancreatic cancer. While he thought the cancer was better, he recently got some news that he needed to go back for more treatment. He also said in an interview that while he has been strong during this whole time, and has continued to host the popular show, it’s getting to be too much, and soon he may have to end his hosting duties.

So, last night during a very unexpected moment, right in the middle of the climactic “Final Jeopardy” round, one contestant gave Alex a message he didn’t even know he needed.

The contestant, Dhruv Gaur knew without a doubt he didn’t know the answer, so he didn’t even attempt to guess. Instead, he placed his bet, $1,995 of his $2,000, and wrote a sweet message to Alex. Just 6 little words got the host all choked up…

Watch!

Nobody is cutting onions. Just own it. This made you tear up to!

Dhruv also tweeted that Alex told the contestants just before taping that he was set to re-enter a treatment center.

What an awesome gesture!
