Alex Trebek's current contract as host of Jeopardy! ends in 2020, and he's not so sure he'll re-sign.


Trebek is 78 years old. He has been the host of Jeopardy! since 1984, and if he retires in 2020, he will have hosted the show for 36 years.


In January of this year, the show Tweeted a video sharing the news that Mr. Trebek had suffered a fall at the end of 2017 and underwent surgery for a subdural hematoma. Check out Trebek's video.



With his many years of involvement and recent health concerns, it's no wonder that Trebek is considering retirement. In fact, he has already suggested two replacements for his job.


His first suggestion is the LA Kings (hockey) announcer and his namesake, Alex Faust. He also suggested the CNN legal analyst, Laura Coates.


Both Faust and Coates were shocked to learn that Trebek had suggested them to take over the iconic job.





Twitter thinks that Trebek's suggestions are (unsurprisingly) brilliant.











But mostly people are still coping with the news of him potentially leaving.





















Watch the interview with Trebek here:

Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
