Trebek Debuts Great Jeopardy Category

submitted by Trancecoach

1 decade 7 months 1 week ago

Via Esquire: The world has bestowed upon us a great gift, and that gift is Alex Trebek rapping the chorus to “Insane in the Membrane” and four other ‘90s rap songs. If you don’t squeal in delight, you are subhuman, and we’ll be locking you in a tiny room and feeding you gruel forever.

The most fascinating part of the video is that not even Ken Jennings, the smartest man on this entire planet, knows what event is taking place when the Beastie Boys yell, “Listen all y’all, it’s a…”

This is a man who, last night, knew that “the U.N. diplomat who became the first African-American to win a Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating an Arab-Israeli truce” was Ralph Bunche.

It’s a sabotage, Ken. Everybody knows it’s a sabotage.

Look, May can be long and mysteriously hot for no real reason, but sometimes we get tiny little Christmases amidst the heat, and this Jeopardy category is one of them. Thank you, Jeopardy producer who knew what this would sound like on TV. We should give you Ralph Bunche’s Nobel Peace Prize.

Nobody knew "Sabotage"?

epic fail I don't know much rap so I was struggling with the other ones..but Sabotage? Sabotage??

SABOTAGE?!?!

I think they didn't know it was "a sabotage" because Trebek's delivery of the lyric was so atrocious that it was difficult to pick it out...

More please

Haven't even opened the video. Upvoting for the mere prospect of the summary being true.
