'Jeopardy!' Host Alex Trebek Takes Medical Leave After Brain Surgery

Taping of the game show "Jeopardy" has been temporarily suspended after longtime host, Alex Trebek recently underwent brain surgery to remove blood clots. He explained his condition to the fans before promising them he'll be back to host the show as soon as possible.

No timetable for when he'll be back on the air.

Trebek appeared in a video on the "Jeopardy" Facebook page Thursday to announce that he'd had the surgery during the show's holiday break.

Trebek was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on 15 December (17) after experiencing complications from hitting his head in a fall in October.

After spending two days in the hospital, he returned home and is recuperating.

Trebek, who is expected to make a full recovery, thanked everyone for their concern as he continues to recover. The prognosis is excellent.

Producers told Variety that because "Jeopardy!" has a long lead time in taping, the only change to the show's on-air schedule would be shifting its College Championship episodes from March to April. The broadcast date is listed for the following month.

However, none of these health problems have dissuaded Trebek from hosting the quiz show.

The 77-year-old host was born in Sudbury, Ont., and went on to host "Jeopardy" in 1984.
