Alex Trebek is known for quizzing contestants on his game show, “Jeopardy,” but nothing delighted viewers more than Monday night’s category on raps.
This week was the college championship on “Jeopardy,” and contestants picked from a category called, “Let’s Rap, Kids!” The clues contained lyrics to rap songs by Drake, Kanye West, Desiigner and Lil’ Wayne. Of course, Trebekhad to try to rap them.

And the internet, of course, did the only logical next thing and dubbed Trebek’sversion over the real beats.
I took Alex Trebek rapping on Jeopardy and did the only thing that felt right: Edit it to the music he was quoting. (?: @KennyDucey) pic.twitter.com/Tg8mxONBAj

“I was just getting into the rap thing. I’m not too good at it, but I was getting into it,” Trebek said after the last question in the category was called.
The internet appreciated it.
