Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek tore his Achilles tendon while chasing down a woman who tried to rob him at his San Francisco hotel the other day.
The daily game show host was in town to host the National Geographic World Championship at Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif.
Trebek has definitely stepped up his street cred among his game show counterparts. He’s the new tough guy in the circle of game show hosts and he has the scars to prove it.
Trebek is one guy we wouldn’t want to encounter in a dark alley.
Let’s take a look at some other game show hosts that would knuckle up if they had to.

Steve Harvey:
Don’t mess with Steve Harvey, have you seen his abs? The Family Feud host will knuckle up if it came down to it. Take a look at this classic clip, he really didn’t like this answer on Feud.

Bob Barker:
We all know Bob Barker as the former host of The Price is Right but we remember what he did to Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore? He handled Sandler with a combination of left and right hooks. Bob Barker isn’t to be fu*ked with.
