Alex Trebek has no plans to leave 'Jeopardy!' anytime soon

Alex Trebek has continued to be a staple of TV courtesy of his "Jeopardy!" hosting gig over the past several decades -- but all good things have to come to an end eventually, right?

Luckily, we do not seem to be at this end just yet. In a new interview with The Daily Beast, Trebek confirmed that he is still enjoying the show -- and with this, he doesn't have any plans to step down from the show at any point in near future:

"I’ve been told by my employers that they want me to continue hosting as long as I want to continue hosting. That puts the ball in my court. I really don’t know how much longer I will be hosting. I’m still enjoying it, so that’s the most important thing, but I tend to get down on myself if I’m screwing up. I’m usually harder on myself than my critics. That might be a factor in the years to come."
