Alex Trebek on SNL (2000)

In a series of "Celebrity Jeopardy" sketches on SNL, Ferrell plays an exasperated Alex Trebek. One of the most iconic sketches involves Norm Macdonald as Burt Reynolds, Jimmy Fallon as French Stewart, and Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery.

Memorable quotes:

  • "Mr. Reynolds has apparently changed his name to Turd Ferguson."
  • "That's the 'Pen Is Mightier!'"
  • "Well, all you had to do was write down a number. And you wrote. . . Threeve. A combination of three and five. Simply stunning. And you wagered. . . Texas with a dollar sign in front of it. I'm speechless."
  • "Mr. Connery, the category was numbers, and you wrote . . . letter V. Well, I tell you what my friend, V is a Roman numeral, so despite your best efforts, you answered correctly. Let's see what you wagered, 'Suck it Trebek.'"
