(9,984 posts)Burt Reynolds and Sean Connery - what a hoot. And most other gameshow sketches too, especially if Keenan Thompson if involved.

(17,174 posts)It should be mentioned that Trebek stoically endures every Jeopardy sketch drowning in hopeless disbelief for the celebrity stupidity around him, so for Ferrells last episode as an SNL cast member, the real Alex Trebek made a cameo. Trebek said that he loved SNLs Jeopardy sketches and was extremely disappointed when Will left. Weve never had any contestants as ornery as the Sean Connery character that Darrell Hammond portrays. Ive been asked how I would feel if we had Sean Connery on Celebrity Jeopardy! I tell everyone Id just walk up to him and punch out his lights.

The cool breed get it. Of COURSE Trebek loved the skit.

Not sure what Connery thought of his portrayal but I recall reading that Sinatra did not care for his..

Perry Como hated this SCTV skit with the great Eugene Levy...
