Surprising thing to hear first thing in the morning at work. There's already a statement on jeopardy.com and it sounds optimistic. He won't be missing any tapings.

Confirmed.
He'll be fine.
Therefore, we can joke:

I guess hearing that your boss (Roger King) died younger than you are can be quite a jolt!

TMZ had posted a report at 2:10 p.m. ET saying that they got a confirmation from a show spokesperson.

Interesting that the producers jumped in before any rumors got out of hand.  Good for them.

Hang on a second- isn't Jeopardy a WGA show? Wouldn't have it been shut down by the strike anyway? Still, best wishes for a speedy recovery..

Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

I suspected Alex would've ad-libbed, it's not like he's already hosted the show for a few weeks.

And they stockpile material, strike or no strike (with your host Howie Mandel).

No.  It was previously announced that the show is taped well in advance, has plenty of questions in the can, and even if those run out, they'll recycle old material.  At any rate, glad to hear Alex is doing well.

Paramedic: Mr. Trebek!
Alex: I am feeling tingling in my arm, and tightness in my chest. GAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Paramedic: I'm sorry. The correct response is, "What is I am feeling tingling in my arm, and tightness in my chest. GAAAAAAAAAAAA!?"

Alex, my prayers are with you and your family!!!

I did NOT push Jim Peck. I just encouraged gravity.
