Longtime Jeopardy host, Alex Trebek, approached the podium of the National Geographic World Championship on crutches. Unfortunately, the 71-year-old game show host ruptured his Achilles tendon and expects surgery shortly. As is typical, the ‘what’ isn’t as interesting or badass as the ‘how’. So how did he do it? Did he fall in the shower? Fall off the cart on the golf course? Nope.
He fell while chasing down a burglar.
Yep. This typically calm, cool celebrity took chase when a criminal ran off with some loot from Trebek's hotel room. The hero-host wasn’t going to have any of that crap, so he revved the badass engines and attempted to take the scumbag down (possibly unleashing a fearsome battle cry in the process.) The injuries he received from the pursuit halted his heroics, but the perp was brought to justice in the end. Great work by security, but who's the real hero?
