Good news, “Jeopardy” fans! Alex Trebek and his new goatee are “feeling great” and will be bringing you some special “vault” episodes of the long-running game show this month, including the very first one Trebek ever hosted — “mustache and all.”
“I hope you’re all doing well during this difficult times,” Trebek said in a video shared by ABC News Thursday morning. “As many of you know, whenever there is a break in our ‘Jeopardy’ tape schedule, I often take that opportunity to grow some facial hair. Clearly I’ve been doing that while waiting for us to safely return to the studio, which I hope will be very, very soon.”
“Now in the meantime, I’m here at home recording show openings for some very special ‘Jeopardy’ episodes that will be coming up in July,” he added. “For the first time ever, we are going to open the ‘Jeopardy...
