Some shocked “Jeopardy!” viewers didn’t have a clue.

“Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek rocked a beard on the season premiere Monday, nearly tilting the quiz-show world off its axis.

Trebek, 78, said that fan interest prompted him to regrow his mustache “but as you can see, things got a little out of hand. These hairs kept attracting friends.”

“Hopefully it won’t be a distraction for our players,” he added.
