"Jeopardy!'s" Alex Trebek, who has been hosting the top-rated quiz show since 1984, has confirmed to me that he does not expect to continue with the show beyond 2016. "I suspect this might be my last contract," says the multiple Daytime Emmy winner. "I'm not going to go on forever. My contract expires in 2016. There is a time for all things and my time may be coming."
