Wily Jeopardy! Contestant Gets Alex Trebek to Say 'Turd Ferguson'
LatestIt’s always been unclear whether Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek is at all amused by the long-running Saturday Night Live sketches about his show, the ones that depict him near the point of tears or a dangerous fit of rage when dealing with the dumbest celebrity contestants in the world. Judging by Wednesday night, though, the answer appears to be no, he’s not.
There are two constants in the SNL version of Jeopardy!: an ornery, lusty Sean Connery, played by Darrell Hammond, who teases Trebek mercilessly about his lust for his mother, and a very dumb Burt Reynolds (Norm MacDonald), who continually changes his name on his podium to read “Turd Ferguson.”
