Sony Pictures Television released an update on the 71-year-old TV veteran Monday afternoon, saying their host was “up and about and in good spirits while doctors complete their testing.” Trebek has also been moved to a regular room and is awaiting the doctors’ go-ahead to continue his recovery at home.
Trebek, who’s previously suffered a heart attack in December 2007, is still expected to return to his job of the last 28 years when it goes back into production on the new season in July.
