Celebrity Jeopardy

Yesterday I blogged about Jeopardy, but I couldn't move on unless I mentioned Celebrity Jeopardy from SNL. Being the huge fan that I am, I can't normally think of the regular show without the spinoff. This is my tribute to the excellent sketch.

Watch every episode that you want on this one website. They're absolutely hilarious.

As I said in the last post, Will Ferrell plays a funny Trebek--not accurate by any means--but the persona he takes on is funny because he's such a wuss who is always taken over by his arch nemesis, Sean Connery, AKA Darrell Hammond. Connery always tosses out some pretty raunchy jokes about Trebek's mother, or he creates obscene drawings on his Final Jeopardy round. There's always a new surprise, something funny.

I want to know, who are your favorite contestants?

Which episode is your favorite?

SNL was really hot during the years where Celebrity Jeopardy ran. It had Will Ferrell, Cheri Oteri, Molly Shannon, Derrell Hammond, Dana Carvey, Norm McDonald (before he was fired, but he was an AWESOME Burt Reynolds), Jimmy Fallon, Ana Gasteyer, to name a few. They were so good in the 90s. Sigh.
