"Jeopardy" fans love Alex Trebek's new beard

DangerThe instantly recognizable host, Alex Trebek, decided to change things for the 35-year-old animation season by growing a beard!

The 78-year-old television personality debuted with her new white whiskers in a special promotional video that teased everything the series had planned to honor the long-standing program. However, Trebek's beard quickly stole the show, leading to a heated debate among fans. So, at the show's premiere on Monday, Trebek had a proposal for the fans.

"Welcome to Danger as we begin the 35th season. No need to know how I spent my summer vacation, "began the newly bearded host. "Because many of you have asked the question, I decided to push back my mustache but, as you can see, things got out of hand. This hair continued to attract friends. Whether I keep it or not depends on you. So go to our Danger Facebook or Instagram pages and let us know how you feel. "

Not surprisingly, Trebek was soon bombarded with fans who approved the look. "I'm going to take Trebek with a beard for $ 500 Alex," wrote a fan. "Beard on Alex, beard," wrote another.

Trebek is not the only TV personality to adopt a new look this season. Instead of just growing a rich mustache, Steve Harvey also decided to grow his beard, adding a touch of sophistication to his look.

"Last year was the first time I had a summer, so I did not shave, I shaved," he told ET recently with Kevin Frazier. "But last year, there was not enough gray in the mustache, it looked like I had stuff in it, so I had to wait another year."

"This year, when I did not color it, it was a lot more gray, so I run the script," he added. "I'm going to see how the beard game is going, I'm going to do something different, I'm going to stay until I die."
