After Alex Trebek opened the new season of “Jeopardy!” with a silver beard , the host is going through some changes.

On Tuesday he went to a goatee look. The show posted a video with the caption: “Next stop: Goatee City. Population: #AlexTrebeard”

On Wednesday he took it a little further and now is sporting a mustache . The show tweeted: ”Best mustache in Hollywood – hands down. Don’t @ us.”

Fans reactions to the whole facial hair saga has been all over the map with admirers and detractors.

What’s in store for tomorrow?

Last week Trebek opened the 35th season of “Jeopardy!” with his first-ever onscreen beard. In 1989 when the show started, Trebek wore a mustache and then in 2014 for the show’s 30th anniversary, he returned to his mustached-look for the first time in 13 years.

He has been clean-shaven most recently.
