The answer is: He’s “up and about” in a Los Angeles hospital as he recovers from a mild heart attack.
Who is Alex Trebek? Right!
Sony Pictures Television spokeswoman Paula Askanas said Monday that the “Jeopardy!” host is “in good spirits” while doctors complete their tests. She says he has been moved to a regular room.
The 71-year-old Trebek was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Saturday, the same day his show won a Daytime Emmy, though it’s thought to be a coincidence. He's expected to fully recover and be back at work when “Jeopardy!” resumes production in July.
Trebek was also hospitalized for a heart attack in 2007. He has been hosting the quiz show for 28 years.
