"We Love You, Alex!" - Brown University Student Loses Jeopardy, Wins Hearts

Brown University student Dhruv Gaur
Jeopardy! contestant -- and Brown University student Dhruv Gaur -- might have lost Final Jeopardy, but won hearts around the world when he answered the last question Monday night.

During the sixth day of the Tournament of Champions, Gaur wagered $1,995 of his $2,000 in Final Jeopardy on the following question.

"In the title of a groundbreaking 1890 exposé of poverty in New York City slums, these 3 words follow ‘How the.’”

Host Alex Trebek, who has been battling cancer, read Guar's answer out loud -- and was met with a personal message of support.

“What is, ‘We love you, Alex!'” Trebek read, his voice wavering. “Oh, that’s very kind.”

The correct answer was, "What is how the other half lives."
