Defamer hears that Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek today accepted Turner Classic Movies' offer to "guest program" a small slate of films airing April 14. The budding hyphenate — whose fledgling shingle comprises titles like Wuthering Heights, Lonely are the Brave, The Professionals and Little Big Man — fills the gap left behind by March programmer Evander Holyfield. Neither Trebek not TCM host Robert Osborne was available for comment, although a Turner source confirmed today that Trebek's deal requires Osborne to phrase his share of their discussion in the form of a question. What's next, Pat Sajak developing an original drama for Showtime? Or, perhaps, Chuck Woolery closing a four-picture deal (with final-cut privileges, natch) for The Weinstein Co? [TCM]

Breaking! Lovably smug Jeopardy quizmaster Alex Trebek suffers heart attack! But please, don't begin the search for a new host just yet (note to Ryan Seacrest: it would be in poor taste to offer your services "just in case he takes a turn for the worse") , as Trebek merely suffered a "minor" infarction and is "resting comfortably."
