Speaking about the #MeToo movement, Trebek expressed concern for men who may have behaved badly when they were younger.

“You know, when the #MeToo movement started, I had discussions with the staff during production meetings. I said, ‘My gosh, this has got to be a scary time for men,’” the 78-year-old host said. “I’m fortunate that I’ve never been in a position of power where I might be able to lord it over somebody sexually. I said, ‘But there are guys out there — young guys are stupid in their teens.’ There’s nothing stupider than a teenage boy. They’re operating on testosterone.”

Trebek has hosted Jeopardy! since 1984, and is currently signed on with the show until 2022, so naturally the subject of retirement came up.

“When it’s clear that it’s time for me to go, I’ll go,” he said.

“I will tell the director, ‘Time the show so that I have 30 seconds at the end,’” Trebek said, envisioning his final show. “Because when Ken Jennings lost after 74 wins in a row, I had a tear in my eye and no time for a good-bye. So all I want on my last show is 30 seconds, and I’ll do what Johnny Carson did: ‘Hey, folks, thank you. Been a good run and all good things must come to an end.’ Then I’ll move on.”
