As a long-time admirer of Tom Selleck, I can honestly say that his career spanning over four decades is nothing short of impressive. From Thomas Magnum to Dr. Richard Burke, and now Frank Reagan on Blue Bloods, he has graced our screens with memorable characters that have left an indelible mark on pop culture. And let’s not forget the mane that has become as iconic as his acting talent – yes, I’m talking about that glorious mustache.
Over the decades, pop culture has seen many moments, figures, and trends that once held significant importance but have since faded into obscurity. However, one individual who has managed to stand the test of time is Tom Selleck. As his long-running series, Blue Bloods, prepares for its final season in 2024, the actor remains a familiar face. Apart from his acting prowess, Selleck is also recognized for his distinctive mustache, a feature that has earned him many humorous comments throughout his career, including a recent revelation of a particularly corny joke about it.
What Groan-Worthy Joke Has Tom Selleck Gotten A Lot About His Mustache?
Tom Selleck is adored by many, and there’s no need to mince words: his mustache is iconic. He’s an exceptional actor who has given us beloved characters like Private Investigator Thomas Magnum, Dr. Richard Burke, and NYC Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, among others. However, it’s hard to overstate the impact of that mustache. In fact, CBS refused to let him shave it off for Blue Bloods in 2010, acknowledging its significant role in his charm and appeal.
Throughout his career, people often ask him questions and give him attention about his well-known mustache, yet he’s worked without it on occasion. In an interview with The Telegraph, he shared a story about a humorous mustache comment that he frequently encounters in his television and film career. When brought up that the roles he’s best recognized for showcase a mustachioed Selleck, he responded:
Sure thing.
Man, I can’t believe I just saw that classic Magnum P.I. star joking about the show – he never uses its full name! To be honest, it felt like a cheesy joke straight out of a 1985 talk show set, with a famous mustached actor as the guest, didn’t it?

Thankfully, when the actor, who had no intention of retiring, grew tired of the recurring mustache gag, he made it clear how often it had been used. This likely stopped any further instances of the joke. Now, other actors wearing a mustache can do so without being subjected to such jokes. At least this is one less problem to deal with!
Although I’m crossing my fingers that CBS might reconsider their decision to cancel “Blue Bloods” and extend its run beyond 2024, for the moment, its final fall premiere is scheduled for October 18.
