After chasing a burglar. Not surprised he snapped an achilles tendon, but give it up to the dude in his 70's chasing down burglars. Maybe Jeopardy cut his pay or something. :eek:

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek says he snapped his Achilles tendon while running after a burglar who had stolen cash, a bracelet and other items from his San Francisco hotel room.

The 71-year-old Trebek tells KGO-TV that he also injured his other leg while falling down during the chase early Wednesday. He was on crutches later Wednesday when he hosted the National Geographic World Championship at Google headquarters in Mountain View.

San Francisco police Lt. Troy Dangerfield says 56-year-old old Lucinda Moyers was arrested on suspicion of felony burglary and receiving stolen property. The cash and bracelet haven't been found but other items were recovered. Dangerfield says officers found several items near the hotel ice machine.

Trebek is scheduled for surgery on Friday and is expected to be in a cast for six weeks.

I got to meet him once. We followed a home schooled OKlahoma girl out there to be on one of those high school tournaments they have on jeopardy. We got to be behind the scenes etc. Alex was friendly enough and gave us a great interview.
He was kinda full of himself as I guess all people in his position get to be.

the girl got smoked, didn't get one answer correct and we all went home after the first taping.

didn't really rep the state or homeschooling very well.
