[PosterChild]

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Alex Trebek, the long-time host of the popular television quiz show "Jeopardy," suffered a minor heart attack at his home Monday night.

Trebek, 67, was recovering at a local hospital, and it was not clear when he would be released, a representative of the show said. He is expected to resume taping the show in January.
The representative added that Trebek did not have any previous known condition that would have led to the heart attack.
Trebek, 67, is a native of Sudbury, Ontario. He has hosted "Jeopardy!" since 1984.


Prior to becoming "Jeopardy!" host, he served as emcee for a number of game shows, including "High Rollers," "The Wizard of Odds" and "Battlestars."

That sucks. Hope he gets better.

I can't believe he's 67 - looks ten years younger. By comparison, Harrison Ford looks like he's in his 70s.

Sean Connery wanted for questioning after someone heard Suck It Trebek before the 911 call.

Just kidding.

Hope he gets better.

I admit that I thought of it as well, but decided it might not be appropriate to mention.
