The show has not been filming in the studio due to the coronavirus pandemic, and Trebek said that during the break from the filming he has written a book that will be coming out July 21.

"I can't wait to return to the studio and start recording shows for the new season in September," he said. "Meanwhile, my wish for all of you: stay safe."
