"I'll Take Cardiac Arrest for $400, Alex."

Regular Hock-readers will recall that last weekend, J.G. and his loyal aide-de-camp Bex traversed to Pittsburgh for J.G.'s audition for the hit television quiz show, Jeopardy.

But no sooner did J.G. pass the audition and get placed in the contestant pool (huzzah!) that we get this troubling news from the great state of California!


Alex Trebek has heart attack

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Alex Trebek, the long-time host of the popular television quiz show "Jeopardy," suffered a minor heart attack at his home Monday night.

Trebek, 67, was recovering at a local hospital, and it was not clear when he would be released, a representative of the show said. He is expected to resume taping the show in January.

The representative added that Trebek did not have any previous known condition that would have led to the heart attack.

Trebek, 67, is a native of Sudbury, Ontario. He has hosted "Jeopardy!" since 1984.

Prior to becoming "Jeopardy!" host, he served as emcee for a number of game shows, including "High Rollers," "The Wizard of Odds" and "Battlestars."


All of us here at Pocomoke wish Alex a speedy recovery so that he can resume taping and call up J.G. to compete ASAP!
