Everyone’s seen those SNL sketches right?
One of the running gags is Sean Connery’s hatred of Alex Trebek (“you’ll rue the day you crossed me, Trebek!”).
Does that stem from something real, or is it something the writers made up for the hell of it?
Either way it’s damn funny :).
The sound a dog makes?
[SC]Ruff–rough like your mother likes it Trebek![/SC]
heeheehee
As to where this came from I’m not sure, but it cracks me up every time.

My favorite is:
SC: I’ll take penis mightier!
AT (annoyed): That’s ‘Pen is Mightier’.
What about this classic gem:
SC: “I’ll take Whore semen for a hundred.”
AT: “What.”
SC: “Hor, like your mother. Semen It’s right there.”
And the wonderful Final Jeopardy response to “Where are you.”
AT: “In Doors. Why yes, you are indeed in doors. And what did you wager.”
Final result: I (heart) Boobs.
Connery: “I’ll take ‘The Rapists’ for two hundred, Alex”
Trebeck: That’s “Therapists”!
Connery: “I’ll take Anal Bum Cover for $200, Alex.”
Trebeck: “That’s AN ALBUM COVER, not ‘anal bum cover!’”
Connery: “I can read, Trebek, that says Anal Bum Cover! I spent 5 years of my life trying to invent an anal bum cover. My failure to do so is my is my biggest regret.”
Trebeck: “…You have lead a horifying life.”
I’ll take Ape tits for 300.
That’s Apetites!
Buck. A buck. That must be his wager…futter. “Buck futter.”
You figure it out, Trebek. You know.
“One’s a sick duck… I don’t know how it ends, but your mother’s a whore.”
We quote the SNL-Connery all the time… “I’m the cock of the walk!”, “The day is mine!”, and “I’ll play your game, you rogue!” are our favorites.
“Let’s move on to Final Jeopardy. The category is… oh, why would they do this? The category is Famous Mothers.”
“My day is here!”
I was reading through some transcripts, and supposidly the begining of “Connery’s” hatred for “Trebek” was when “Connery” was down $800. and he kept thinking that he had to pay:
Sean Connery: [ angry ] The hell if I’m gonna pay you a bloody $800!
Alex Trebek: Please, be assured, Mr. Connery. This is for charity, it’s not your own money. And it is still your board.
As for the real Connery; not sure!
SC: The day is mine! I’ll take Movies for $400.
AT: (reads the clue) This 1962 movie starred famous secret agent James Bond.
(no one answers)
AT: Mr. Connery, you might wanna guess on this one.
SC: Don’t think I’m stupid, Trebek! You wouldn’t know it either if you didn’t have those little cards!
This sounds like a question for Cecil Adams
“I thought of some more foreign ladies I snogged…”
(The category was Foreign Flicks)
A bit off the Connery topic, but we would be remiss not to mention the brilliant portrayal of Burt Reynolds by norm McDonald in the same sketches.
Trebek: This holiday is celebrated on December 25th
Burt: What is my Birthday.
Trebek: you were born on December 25th?
Burt: nope.
well it was something like that…
Feb-TOBER!
“Mr Reynolds has apparantly changed his name to Turd Ferguson.”
And who can forget?
SC: I’ll take SWORDS for $200, Alex.
AT: That’s S-WORDS! S-WORDS [reads question]
SC: Sabre!
AT: Wrong.
SC: It began with a bloody ‘s’!
or…
SC: Famous TITTIES!
AT: Famous TITLES! TITLES!
You guys are killing me!
I have only ever seen one of these sketches. I, too, wondered whether there was some background story or if they just picked some random celebrities of whom the cast were capable of doing impressions.
RR
Norm (as Burt): Uh, my buzzers broke!
Will (as Trebek): No, its not! You just rang in!
(i had to use this, cause someone beat me to “Ape Tit”)
“Name something you drink out of.”
“A leather glove!”
That’s always been my favorite. On an episode of Rock’n’Roll Jeopardy (a “real” show!) on VH-1, the contestant buzzed in but couldn’t think of the answer, and just blurted out, “A leather glove!” That’s good TV.
(And sorry, can’t answer the original post.)
