Jeopardy host Alex Trebek says it's a turbulent time in Hollywood with the #MeToo movement sweeping through.

Though the 78-year-old Canadian game show host says he was never in a position to exploit his power himself, he worries about men in the industry.

'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," Trebek 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,' he added in his Vulture interview published Monday.

Alex Trebek, 78, says that the #MeToo movement has shaken the industry and told his show staff 'My gosh, this has got to be a scary time for men'. He says he's never 'lorded' his power over 'somebody sexually'

He added that young men can be irresponsible in their conduct with women.

'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,' he said.

The movement has seen Hollywood giants like Harvey Weinstein, Louis CK, and Matt Lauer fall from their pedestals as women have accused them of sexual misconduct and abuse of power.

Trebek says his dream contestant on his game show was once disgraced actor Kevin Spacey, who has been accused of sexual assault by at least 16 men and was fired from House of Cards following the allegations.

'I used to say Kevin Spacey. He's bright, and there would be so many funny moments because of all his great impressions. But now you can't say that,' he said.

He says his answered his changed to 'the Pope', adding 'I was raised Catholic'.

He said the #MeToo movement made 2018 the 'year of the woman' and has seen Hollywood giants like Harvey Weinstein (left) and Kevin Spacey (right) fall. Trebek said Spacey used to be his dream contestant, but that changed after he was accused of sexual assault by 16 men

Trebek, who has hosted the show for 35 years says he will retire in 2020 and says a female host may place him. Trebek pictured above in October 1990

Trebek says he's faced his harsh criticisms for his treatment of women on the show, but he believes its simply the viewer's bias.

'I’ve been criticized for treating women more harshly than men. I’ve also been criticized for treating women better than men. In fact, I remember looking in a stack of letters once and finding two: One said, "Boy, you fawn over women [contestants] and try to help them out." And the other was, "Boy, you’re mean to women,"' he said.

He's been married to Jean Currivan Trebek since 1990 and they share two children: Matthew and Emily Trebek. He was previously married to Elaine Callei Trebek from 1974 to 1982.

The host - who's been the rock of the popular game show for 35 decades has suggested he will be replaced in 2020.

It's not clear who will take Trebek's seat, but he says with the #MeToo movement, it's the 'year of the woman' and show producers may put weight behind bringing on a female host.

He's previously named Alex Faust, a sports broadcaster for the Los Angeles Kings, and Laura Coates, a black attorney and legal adviser to cable TV networks, as possible Jeopardy replacements.

Speaking on his thoughts on parting with the show that skyrocketed his career and made him a household name, Trebek said: 'It's a good show. it should, and will, go on after I'm done.'
