Jeopardy host Alex Trebek will be taking leave from the show after undergoing brain surgery last month. He shared the news in a video message on Thursday, January 4.
“Some of you may have heard by now that during the holiday break, I had a slight medical problem — a subdural hematoma, blood clots on the brain, caused by a fall I endured about two months ago,” the 77—year-old explained. “Surgery was performed. After two days in the hospital, I came home to start recovery. Prognosis is excellent, and I expect to be back in the studio and taping more Jeopardy! programs very, very soon.”
He added: “And I want to thank all of you for your concern.”
The Canadian star wore a “Jeopardy!” blue hat in the clip, which appeared to be taped from his home.
