Alex Trebek won yet another Daytime Emmy for best game show on Saturday but was unable to pick up the award due to a sudden medical crisis.
The popular ‘Jeopardy!’ host was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles earlier in the day after suffering his second mild heart attack in the past five years.
Sony Pictures Television issued a statement on Sunday: “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.”
The Canadian native will turn 72 next month and has been active in the entertainment arena for five decades. He made news last year when he snapped his Achilles tendon while chasing a burglar out of his hotel room in San Francisco.
