Longtime “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek was hospitalized Tuesday after a minor heart attack, a spokesman for the game show said.

Trebek, 67, was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center late Monday night and was expected to remain there about two days for tests and observation, said show spokesman Jeff Ritter.

“Thankfully it was a minor heart attack,” Ritter said. He did not give other details.

A post on the official “Jeopardy!” website said Trebek would be “back in the studio for the next scheduled tapings in January.”
