CULVER CITY, Calf. (WAND) - Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek had to undergo surgery as a result of a fall and head injury. Now, the show is releasing details about his condition.
Trebek fell in October. On Dec. 15 he was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with complications. He was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma and had to undergo surgery to remove the hematoma on Dec. 16.
Jeopardy! reports the surgery was a success, and Trebek was released from the hospital on Dec. 18. He is expected to make a full recovery.
Trebek will return to taping Jeopardy! episodes in mid-Jan. The only change to the show's schedule will be the College Championship. It will now air in April. The broadcast schedule will otherwise be unaffected.
