'Jeopardy!' and 'Wheel of Fortune' Fans Thinking of Alex Trebek and Pat Sajak's Health After Shows Shutdown Due to Coronavirus

While safety has become a priority for a number of people in recent days, situations like this end up being a bit of a wake-up call.
Given their lengthy hosting stints, both Trebek and Sajak have been inside living rooms across America for several decades.
Naturally, this kind of longevity has led to viewers growing particularly attached to their television personas.
Trebek had recently hosted the mega-popular Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time tournament in January, which lasted four nights, and ended up with Ken Jennings being crowned the show's GOAT.
Despite the tournament going off without a hitch, Trebek later admitted to experiencing some issues while filming.
Over the past 12 months, Trebek has been on the receiving end of an enormous amount of support, some of which ended up catching him off-guard -- and leaving him a little choked up.
