We watch Jeopardy every night. Hubby and I have a challenge to get the "answer" right. It's a contest we've had for YEARS in our marriage...one of those things old married couples do right after dinner...

That show is a regular in our house too. Hope he hits the Daily Double and recovers soon.

She never was the same again. I hope it is a better outcome for Alex Trebec.

Actually I thought he was going to retire after last season ending in July or thereabouts.

Certainly hope he has a complete recovery. He has been a staple in our house for decades.

... maybe "Oh, no, Alex Trebec had a subdural hematoma!" would convey your dismay better?
