Alex Trebek isn't retiring from Jeopardy! after all
Don't quit your day job just yet, Ken Jennings. Despite occasional hints about the possibility of an impending retirement, Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek has officially signed on to host the popular game show through the 2017-2018 TV season.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last year, Trebek admitted to being "slower" than he was in earlier years as host, and said he has occasional "senior moments" on the show. Nevertheless, he said he plans to go on hosting "as I'm having a good time and as long as I feel my skills haven't diminished too much."
