‘Jeopardy!’ Fans Go Wild as Ken Jennings Reveals Tom Selleck Treat
Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings shared a treat that featured a cheeky image of what looked like vintage Tom Selleck. Fans went wild over the label on the bottle of wine, as it even shared the same name.
On Instagram, Jennings showed a photo of himself standing in front of a wine bottle called Domaine de la Chappe VdF Rose “Thomas” 2017 – Magnum. Jennings pointed to the bottle labeled “Thomas,” Selleck’s full first name, and also the first name of his character on the classic 1980s show Magnum, P.I.
“On Magnum Mondays, we celebrate this French wine bottle I saw that has Tom Selleck on the label for some reason,” he captioned the post.
The cartoon image on the front of the bottle certainly had a similar thick mustache to the one the Blue Bloods actor usually wears. The smile was even similar. The man on the front of the bottle even had chest hair and hairy arms that fans thought were just like the actor.
The bottle was also labeled “Magnum.” Selleck played Thomas Magnum on the show Magnum, P.I. from 1980 to 1988.

The wine was created in 2017 by Victor Thomas. It is a rose wine that is mineral-driven with flavors of tart strawberry and raspberry. According to the website, the bottle seems to only be available in New York, San Francisco, and Chicago, in a 1.5-liter bottle.
Fans reacted to the host’s resemblance in the comments. “Because Thomas Magnum, PI…it still rings in my brain,” one said.
“Now that is weird. But that is Thomas Magnum for sure,” another commented.
“Hilarious. Well, at least they got the chest hair right,” a third wrote.
“The chest hair,” another said with laughing emojis.
“Oh, I see what you did there. Clever,” a fan laughed.
“Oh my gosh. I would buy that so hard,” another said.
“Tonight, we let the Magnum PI speak,” a follower joked.
“Complete with the chest hair,” one last fan said. Many others commented with laughing emojis, while some fans wondered if the wine tasted good.

I’ve gotta render a sincere salute to Tom Selleck. He’s one of the few conservative minded persons who have made it through the show biz world pretty much unscathed. They came after him a couple times but he has been Very successful while staying true to his beliefs.
