Alex Trebek Suffers Heart Attack

Longtime Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek was admitted to Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center late Monday night after a minor heart attack, according to AP.

The 67 year-old Trebek is still at Cedar's-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. He will stay there for a few days so doctors can observe him and do more tests. Of course, whenever they say someone had a "heart attack," it's hard to figure out exactly what they mean, since a heart attack is a specific thing and different than other things that can happen to your heart. And you can tell by my clever use of the word "things" that I have absolutely no medical training whatsoever.

Assuming Trebek’s full recovery, Jeopardy!’s production and broadcast schedule is unlikely to change because the show tapes many episodes in advance. According to Jeopardy!’s Web site, Trebek “will be back in the studio for the next scheduled tapings in January."
