Alex Trebek Suffers Heart Attack

TMZ has learned that "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek has suffered a heart attack. I'll take medical emergencies for $1000!

A rep for the show confirms to TMZ the 67-year-old host had a minor heart attack but is "resting comfortably." We're told he will be back in the studio for the show's next scheduled tapings in January.

Trebek, who was born Giorgi Suka-Alex Trebek, has been the host of "Jeopardy!" since September of 1984.

203. #22 the reason the comments have been mostly positive is because FINALLY we are not hearing about Hollywood losers or loser athletes. You never hear anything about Alex Trebek, accept now. He is like a breath of fresh air compared to some of these morons that AOl insists on posting.
Hope he makes a speedy recovery!
