All is right with the world again: After a 13-year absence, Alex Trebek's mustache is back.
"In 2001, I shaved my mustache on a whim," the longtime Jeopardy! host told People. "This year I had a two-and-a-half month period where we were not taping a show, so I grew it back on another whim. I like to keep my life simple."
Trebek may say he's simple, but it's 2014, and he could have decided to try something new. Perhaps he went the hipster route, and grew a handlebar? What about a John Waters-esque pencil mustache, or the classic Wilford Brimley walrus look? Tune into the Jeopardy! premiere on Sept. 15 to see — and keep your fingers crossed for a Fu Manchu.
