What Is 'Indestructible'?: Alex Trebek Survives Mild Heart Attack

By Amos Barshad at

Scary stuff this weekend on the Alex Trebek front: The beloved 71-year-old Jeopardy! host suffered a mild heart attack on Saturday, but is now said to be fine and recovering at an L.A. hospital. In a statement, Jeopardy's production company, Sony, said that "Trebek is in good spirits and is currently under observation and undergoing further testing. He is expected to fully recover and be back at Jeopardy! when production begins taping in July for the new season, the show's 29th.” I say this unsarcastically — that is a classy bit of plugging, Sony.
