Only major one is that Alex grew his mustache back...

There's something wrong with that new look. He looks like that creepy grandparent you talk about at family reunions and only see when someone hits the lottery.
-
Maybe I'm imagining, but I thought Alex said in a recent interview that he'd never bring he mustache back because he couldn't get it to come in right.

I wanna say this came up when he was talking to Chris Hardwick on Nerdist, so I don't think you are imagining, unless we both are. :)

That's the interview I'm thinking of, but couldn't remember the venue. I should go back and listen to that interview again, because it was really a good one.

Glad we cleared that up, there.

I don't like it.
Your opinion (indeed, about anything) was not solicited. (And most of the time isn't wanted.)

See, I would've taken the more diplomatic approach.

Love the stache! This is the Trebek most of us grew up with.

Er, the Alex you grew up with is almost certainly not the Alex that many, many of our group grew up with: the host of High Rollers, Double Dare, Battlestars and $128,000 Question.

How old do you think I AM, Travis? I'm 34...

Mentally or chronologically?
(I just turned 34 in August; we would have been infants the last time you could have seen Alex in something pre-Jeopardy.)

He had a mustache on J! until what? 02?
/unless you're referring to the hairdo?
//saw Pitfall reruns for a while in the 80's, CBN, maybe?

01.
/but who's counting?
//I honestly want the 'fro to come back.

Johnny: My quibble is with your phrasing (which seems appropriate given that the subject is Alex Trebek) and saying that "most of us" grew up with that particular iteration of his facial hair.
-
What is, I'm sorry?
-
"It's what you say when you apologize for something. But that's not important right now."

"It's what you say when you apologize for something. But that's not important right now."
Surely you know he was apologizing.

I think he knows, Matt, he was just playing off me.

I prefer Leslie Nielsen as the captain in The Poseidon Adventure.

I once wrote a bonus category for a TRASH tournament (quiz bowl game with pop culture questions) that had this set-up: "Roger Ebert called him 'The Olivier of spoofs.' Just don't call him Shirley. Answer these questions about the career of Leslie Nielsen before he became such a friggin' clown."
The questions were about Poseidon, Forbidden Planet and Tammy and the Bachelor.

Your "quibble" became much less amusing once you pulled the "Mentally or chronologically?" line.
-
Thunder, don't worry about it. I know he was ribbing, and even if he wasn't, I can take it.
/never thought anyone would be sticking up for ME on here...

Then it's a good thing it wasn't meant to be amusing. Since I'm still here and haven't been booked for a yellow card it would appear that I'm within the bounds.
-
Travis, if I had a problem with you, I wouldn't air it here...
-
Boo mustache, yay to the new Daily Double graphic.
-
Ah, to each his own.
-
It's not bushy enough because he hasn't grown it out, and the salt-and-pepper look just makes it look less substantial. I'm sure in time it'll grow on him.
-
In more ways than one.

Let me just say that I am seriously disappointed with the membership for not picking up on my straight line.
"It's what you say when you apologize for something. But that's not important right now."
Surely you know he was apologizing.

Both of those went over my head at first. Gold stars to both of you.

Did anybody else get the survey from Sony Pictures Entertainment seeking reaction to small things they could do to spur interest in Jeopardy? They mostly involved Twitter and the Clue Crew. The return of the mustache was not among them.
