Beloved "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek is back at work on the show's 36th season, which premieres on Channel 9 Monday night.
"It's another day at the office and an exciting day because so many great things have been happening," Trebek said.
In March, Trebek announced he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

"I've gone through a lot of chemotherapy. Thankfully, that is now over. I'm on the mend and that's all I can hope for right now," he said.
Trebek recorded a video earlier in the year, where he said he's determined to "beat the low survival rate statistics for this disease."

"We have some exciting things coming up and I can't wait to share them with all of you," he said.

He also joked that he must survive since he's contracted to host "Jeopardy!" for three more years.
The season premiere of season 36 will air at 7 p.m. Monday on WFTV Channel 9.
