Alex Trebek out of hospital following heart attack

By Sarah Anne Hughes

Alex Trebek. (Frederick M. Brown - Getty Images) Alex Trebek, the longtime host of “Jeopardy,” the quiz show that causes people to shout at their TVs, is out of the hospital after suffering a heart attack last weekend.

A rep for Sony Television released a statement to the press Wednesday:

“I am happy to report that Alex has been released from the hospital and is back at his home. On his behalf, thank you again for your good wishes.”

Trebek had previously suffered a heart attack in 2007.

On Saturday, the day of Trebek’s hospitalization, “Jeopardy!” won the Daytime Emmy for best game show. This was the 13th time the show took home that prize.
