Alex Trebek injured after chasing burglar at SF hotel

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- "Jeopardy" host Alex Trebek appeared on crutches today while hosting the National Geographic World Championship. The competition is taking place at Mountain View-based Google.

Trebek says he was chasing a burglar at his hotel in San Francisco at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday when his Achilles tendon suddenly snapped. Trebek says when he fell, he also injured his other leg.

Trebek reassured the audience that despite the incident, he is OK.

Three teams of students are in the final round as they vie for the championship; the finalists are Russia, Chinese Taipei and Canada. Trebek is asking questions about physical, cultural and economic geography. The U.S. team tied for fourth and is not in the finals.
