Alex Trebek Is #Back And Now He Has A Goddamn Beard
Live look at me watching my guy Alex coming back stronger than ever with the manliest of facial hair:
Now that is how you make a comeback! When that dressing room door was opened by someone other than Alex Trebek because Alex Trebek doesn’t have to open his own doors, I heard glass shatter in my head followed by Stone Cold Steve Austin’s theme music blaring through my computer while I wiped up all the sex that was dripping from my screen.
We all remember earlier this year news came out that Alex Trebek had to take some time off from Jeopardy after he took a fall and underwent surgery to fix some blood clots on his brain. Any time you hear about an older guy falling and having brain surgery, you get worried that he may be going to the big podium in the sky. Not Trebek though. The Gameshow Gawd rested up, got his mind right, and is preparing for the end of his run like any good Canadian would. By growing a playoff beard. I bet that pretty boy Sajak cannot grow a solitary strand of hair on his baby face. Meanwhile Trebek makes The Most Interesting Man In The World guy’s beard look like a homeless person’s pubes.
And how about Alex’s swagger? Dude is 78 years old and still has the moxie of the star high school quarterback that is dating the prom queen. Most 78 year olds are dead or in jail nursing homes. But Alex Trebek is out here crushing yet another new look and selling you on the surprises for a new season of Jeopardy like they are going to have contestants hanging over shark tanks or some shit because it’s the 35 year anniversary. And if you thought Alex Trebek was ruthless to contestants before, just wait until he unleashes on them with the confidence of a man with a magnificent beard, knows all the answers, and has his eye on the finish line of a first ballot Hall of Fame career.
P.S. Just for the record, Fro Trebek was by farrrrr my favorite Trebek.
The amount of free love and mustache rides Fro Trebek must have been giving out in California during the 70s and 80s with Johnny as his wingman probably had him going tit for tat with Wilt Chamberlain.
