Alex Trebek, the Canadian-born host of Jeopardy!, is in a Los Angeles hospital recovering from a mild heart attack.
Sony Television spokeswoman Paula Askanas said Sunday that Trebek was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Saturday. She says the 71-year-old Trebek is expected to fully recover and be back giving answers when Jeopardy! resumes production for a new season next month.
While he was in the hospital on Saturday, Jeopardy! won a Daytime Emmy award for best game show.
Trebek has been hosting Jeopardy! for 28 years.
