Celebrity Jeopardy
Definition
A recurring comedy sketch on Saturday Night Live parodying the game show Jeopardy!, where celebrities are depicted as hilariously incompetent contestants who butcher categories, answers, and pronunciation.
A pop culture phenomenon originating from SNL, often featuring iconic impressions like Sean Connery repeatedly mocking Alex Trebek and categories with absurd, pun-filled responses.
Examples
In classic Celebrity Jeopardy fashion, Connery turned 'Swords' into 'Swords... or S'mores' just to troll Trebek.
Fans still quote Celebrity Jeopardy lines like 'I'll take Swordfish for 800' when life hands them a bad pun opportunity.
The latest SNL revival of Celebrity Jeopardy had Elon Musk answering every question with a Mars colonization pitch.
Binge-watching old Celebrity Jeopardy sketches is the perfect cure for anyone needing a laugh at Hollywood's expense.
