The category is: Cardiac Arrest
I was shocked and saddened to hear the news this morning that my old pal, Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek, has suffered a mild heart attack.
Word is that Alex is resting comfortably in a Los Angeles hospital, and is expected to be back at his podium after the holidays. I certainly hope that's the case.
For all of the ribbing Alex takes, even from his most ardent fans — and I'd count myself in that number — you don't enjoy the success he's had for nearly 25 years on the same television program unless you're awfully good at what you do. When the annals of game show history are written, Alex's name will be right there at the top.
Get well soon, Alex. And when you're back on your feet, have your people call my people. We'll do lunch.
I'll even let you pick up the check.

I'm so used to your celeb obits, that I nearly had a heart attack when I got as far as "shocked and saddened". Glad to hear he's still with us, and hopefully he makes a full recovery.
I mean, What is, "Hopefully he makes a full recovery."?
