If you watched Saturday Night Live in the 1990s or have since discovered the Internet, you will remember Norm MacDonald playing Burt Reynolds in Celebrity Jeopardy and, in one sketch, vexing Will Ferrell’s Alex Trebek by changing his display name to “Turd Ferguson.” That was basically the entire joke of those sketches: celebrities + vexing Trebek. Well!
Heroic Jeopardy contestant gets Alex Trebek to say ‘Turd Ferguson’
Yes, on Wednesday’s episode, a contestant who couldn’t think of the correct Oscar-nominated song went with “The Love Ballad of Turd Ferguson P.S. Hi Mom,” which meant the real Alex Trebek had to say that out loud. And he did! And wasn’t that vexed. He’s seen plenty of joke answers in Final Jeopardy before. Still very good.
