http://www.ianmiles.com/celebs/Trebek.jpg (http://\"http://www.ianmiles.com/celebs/Trebek.jpg\") Perhaps many of you have seen this; a cursory search on Google nets you this result. Yes, it really is the venerable "Jeopardy!" host, completely barechested and VERY ready to rock.
The question I pose to you all: Does anyone know the story behind this picture? Why, exactly, did Mr. Trebek agree to a shirtless photoshoot? And does anyone know if Mr. Sajak will follow suit?

I dunno, but it looks 'Shopped IMO, but that's just me.

I wondered that, but IMO it looks real. It's also popped up in a number of different places; not that this negates the possibility of it being a 'shop, but it seems unlikely to me that such a photoshopped image would go viral.

IMO it doesn't, and I'm not usually good at picking that sort of thing out. It also makes a LOT more sense that it's photoshopped since, as you say, there's no logical explanation for him to have done a shirtless photoshoot. Also, you can usually identify the original source of just about any legitimate picture on the web. The fact that this one tends to just turn up on blogs is a real tell-tale sign to me that it's not original.

Or the one that Trebek did get drunk on High Rollers. It's a bowl with holes.

This picture has none of the tell-tale signs of photoshopping. There are no obvious cuts or areas of discontinuity. Everything is fluid and perfect; I suppose it could be a REALLY amazing Photoshop, but I dunno.
In the event I am wrong and have loads of egg on my face, I'd like to preemptively redeem myself by posting a picture of another shirtless game show host, this one I know to be real: http://www.newyorkimages.com/regise.jpg (http://\"http://www.newyorkimages.com/regise.jpg\")

The 'stache looks off; Trebek's was fuller. I suppose it could be an un-shopped photo of someone who looks a lot like a younger Trebek? I have seen purported celeb pix that turned out to be lookalikes.

There's no market for shirtless Trebek photos... well, maybe someone (http://\"http://gameshow.ipbhost.com/index.php?showuser=65\") would have an interest.

Oh clemon79 you are wicked bad, and you make me ROTFL.

Shame on all of you who have responded and not asked...
WTF are you doing searching for Shirtless Trebek!??!?!?!
By the way, you owe me a new keyboard to replace the one I vomited on, asshole. :)

If you strip (no pun intended) the rest of the URL off the original, you're led to the website of Ian Miles Photography, which features eleven pages of similarly topless photos of other celebrities. The Trebek picture (page 9) does look a little off to me, but the other 65 pictures on the site all look pretty real...(BTW, there didn't seem to be anything there NSFW, but...)

For a moment there, I thought you were going to blast back to the John Davidson spread from last week. This blast is wayyyy better!
-
If you're looking for a similarly seductive photo of Ruta Lee, fellow star of "High Rollers," the photographer shows that he has one available if you ask. Unfortunately for us all, there's no link.

That picture is nothing like Pantless Trebek. (http://\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zWagEnd9Xs\")

Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy you been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down!
(well, Trebek sure did!)
Incidentally (as you no doubt guessed), that song IS the origin of my username.
Anyhow, looking at this guy's site, the sultry Trebek photo does look to be real after all. I feel I can breathe a bit of a sigh of relief!
Feel free to still enjoy the Regis photo though.

http://www.ianmiles.com/2.htm (http://\"http://www.ianmiles.com/2.htm\") Look at the legions of photos of other shirtless celebs; this guy's M.O. is tasteful shirtless candids of various celebrities. These photographs are clearly real; just check out the shots where the celebrity has hands on their faces. With all these real photos to go around, why would he bother fabricating a photograph of a 69-year-old quiz show host? He'd risk ruining his reputation.
