**Trebek:** I’d like to remind the players not to use racial slurs! **Connery:** Oh, you think you’re so smart, Trebek, with your little Dago mustache! **Trebek:** What did I just say? ---

Wouldn’t it be great if they offered a video/DVD with all the episode of SNL Celebrity Jeopardy? ---

Trebek: What color is this? Reynolds: A rectangle I could not stop laughing. ---

Trebek: Just pick a number. Any number, and you win. :::time passess:::: Trebek: Alright, French Stewart. You wrote “Threeve.” And you wagered…Texas with a dollar sign. For the sake of staying on topic, I’ll throw in Connery’s answer: Trebek: The letter “v.” Well, despite your best efforts, Mr. Connery, “v” is a Roman numeral, so you win. Now let’s see what you wagered… :::::“v” is revealed to be the top of “suck it Trebek”:::: ---

Reynolds: I’ll take the dog one. Trebeck: Thats, “Words that rhyme with dog.” It’s been a hard days’ night, I should be sleeping, like a this. Reynolds: Chinese whore! Trebeck: …No. John Travolta (Don’t know the actor): Chinese whore doesn’t rhyme with dog. To the OP, I think there was a scandal with Trebeck and Connery, but I’m really not so sure. From what I heard, Connery made some offhand comment to a tabloid, they went nuts with it and thus Connery and Trebeck are now enemies. I dunno, could be urban legend. Believe at your own risk. ---

“So we meet again, Tre-beck!” We tried to convince a friend who was going on Jeopardy to say this after the final round, but she did so badly that she didn’t even make it there. Oh well… ---

Norm MacDonald as Burt Reynolds in Celebrity Jeopardy! was his funniest material, ever. Trebek: “That category’s French; we’ll just skip it.” Norm as Burt: “Hey Trebek, I speak French . . . you’re an asswipe. Oops, pardon my French.” ---

My favorite was when Nicolas Cage was on, and his podium disappeared. “I’m confuused.” “Who? Why? WHEEEEERE…” May we not forget Turd Ferguson. ---

Oh, crikey. I just spent too much time going through my personal archives and highlighting all of Connery’s lines. But there were so many, I figured I’d just e-mail them to anyone who wanted them. So, if anyone wants 6 of the Celebrity Jeopardy transcripts, fire me an e-mail. “Damn you and your daily doubles you brigand!” ---

bean\_shadow was the closest, but no, not really. On the other hand it doesn’t really matter: look at this thread as a collection of Best-of quotes rather than an actual question 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/celebrity-jeoprady-and-sean-connery/98880.md?page=1)
