SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- "Jeopardy" host Alex Trebek appeared on crutches today while hosting the National Geographic World Championship 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.
The female burglar entered his room and stole cash, a bracelet his mother gave him, and other items. The woman stashed the items near an ice machine on the floor he was staying on. Trebek then injured himself while chasing the woman down the hallway.
According to Lt. Troy Dangerfield with the San Francisco Police Department, a 56-year-old white female was arrested and booked on felony burglary and possession of stolen property.
All items except the cash and bracelet were recovered.
Trebek was still able to fulfill his hosting duties Wednesday at the National Geographic World Championship. Three teams of students are in the final round as they vie for the championship; the finalists are Russia, Chinese Taipei and Canada. The U.S. team tied for fourth and is not in the finals.
Trebek reassured the audience that despite the incident, he is OK. He will have surgery on Friday and is expected to be in a cast for six weeks
