Watch: FTW! This 'Jeopardy!' contestant totally mentions 'SNL's' Turd Ferguson
What is the best Jeopardy! response ever, Alex?
On Wednesday, a contestant clearly had no clue what the right response to Final Jeopardy was so she did the next best thing. Made an epic Saturday Night Live reference.
The category was Oscar-nominated songs. The clue:
"This song from a 1999 animated film about censorship had a word censored from its Oscar performance."
And this contestant's genius response:
Host Alex Trebek skipped right over the reference to Norm Macdonald's character from SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy! parody. It's actually an impersonation of Burt Reynolds, but the character prefers to be called Turd because he thinks the name is hilarious. Look for him to pop up around the 3:40 mark in this skit from the show's 40th anniversary extravaganza.
