Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek took home a big win on Sunday evening just months after revealing he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. The 78-year-old said during his speech that he didn't want to win based on "sympathy votes."

He said in his remarks after winning Best Game Show Host, "I'm not a fan of sympathy votes, because I believe you should be judged on the merits of your work."

Trebek continued, "The reception I got from the audience was extremely special, very touching. We all know what's going on in my life and I alluded to that in my remarks and I've been very blessed to discover how many people our show has influenced in their lives."
