This got really bad, he explained.

I was on the floor writhing in pain.

It went from a 3 to an 11.

And it happened three or four times that day while we were taping.

So, that was a little rough on me.

Somehow, Trebek refused to delay filming the show.

I had 15 minutes before the next show, he added.

So, I got myself together, and spasms of that kind usually last about 10 to 15 minutes.

All right, here we go again.

But I got through it.

And the producers were very kind.

They said, Look, if you dont wanna do the show well just cancel taping.

I said, No.

Were doing the shows.

It sounds impressive, he joked.

Ive got stage four cancer, okay?

Not stage one, for sissies, thats just beginners cancer.

God, what a guy.
