Alex Trebek Injured While Chasing Burglar

Forget Batman!  Alex Trebek is the new superhero in town!

According to MSNBC, the 71-year-old “Jeopardy” host tried to chase down a burglar at his San Francisco hotel this morning.  Unfortunately, he snapped his Achilles tendon and injured his other leg during the chase.

The injuries put the TV host on crutches while he hosted the National Georgraphic World Championship at Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif.

No word on whether or not he caught the criminal…

I guess he looks like James Bond a bit in that tux pic, no?
