I love these skits. But I must say that the ones with Sean Connery are the best. What is everyone’s favorite of these?

The one the Seinfeld hosted was great too…

David Duchovny as Jeff Goldblum. When asked to write any letter, he wrote the number 2. “Ah, ah, the _letter_ two, my friend.”

Tobey Maguire as Keanu Reeves. “I know kung fu!” “No you don’t!”

And I thought I was the only poor soul who loves so skits so much.  
Okay, here goes (with apologies in advance for my first attempts at vB codes):

1. **Connery** “I’ll take The Rapists for $200”  
**Trebek** “Umm, that’s Therapists, Mr. Connery”

2. **Connery** “I’ll take Swords for $5000”  
**Trebek** “That’s S-Words, Mr. Connery”

3. The whole Miso, followed by Horny, bit that I won’t try to explain to the uninitiated.

Friggin’ hilarious skits! Thanks A Million for bringing it up. I am now smiling after a really Blue Monday.

Oh gosh I love the mispronouncing ones.

this one rocks (Connery, Sandler, Cruise)  
_ **Connery** - I’ll take Famous Titties for $400  
 **Trebek** - That’s Titles, Famous Titles for $400, the answer is - “What is the name of the book that gave the movie ‘Gone With the Wind’ it’s name”._  
**RING**  
_ **Connery** - Dolly Pardon!!_

hahahaha, I love that

**Alex Trebek** : This December 25 holiday involves decorating a tree and opening presents.  
_(Burt Reynolds buzzes in)_  
**Burt Reynolds** :Yeah, what’s my birthday.  
**AT** :Is your birthday December 25, Mr. Reynolds?  
**BR** :No, July 7th.  
**AT** :Actually, I have your bio here; it’s Feb. 11.

Oh, and Donahue’s rants and Brando’s eccentricity weren’t bad either. 🙂

I have 5 of these as MP3s on my computer. Here are my favorites:

Sean Connery Bungling words – The-rapists, swords, the penis mightier, etc.

The Category titles – “Your ass or a hole in the ground,” “Foods that end in –amburger,”

Alex: “Name this object”  
Minnie Driver: “A popsicle.”  
Jeff Goldbloom: “Stalks or a pillory.”  
Alex: “IT’S A FRICKING HAMMER.”

Connery: “I’ll take months that start with Feb . . .Trebek.”  
Alex: “For how much?”  
Connery: “Surprise me you filthy bastard!”

Connery: “I have to ask you about the penis mightier.”  
Alex: “It is not penis mightier is ‘pen is mightier.’”  
Nicholas Cage: “Wait, wait, wait. Are you selling penis mightiers?”

Alex: “And finally in the lead, Burt Renyolds . . .who has apparently changed his name to Turd Ferguson.”

Alex: “Burt Renyolds . . .pick a category.”  
Connnery (to Burt): “Pick Swords.”  
Renyolds: “Yeah sure, give me swords.”  
Alex: “IT’S S-WORDS! For how much?”  
Renyolds: “Ah hell lets go nuts. Swords for $48,000!”

Those are the greatest 🙂 Turd Ferguson is my favorite one, but I absolutely love

::paraphrasing::

Alex: Indoors! Oh my god, he actually got one right. And let’s see what he wagered… I heart boobs.

and

the one where Burt Reynolds thinks he breaks his buzzer, and then buzzes in to say he fixed it. Classic!

</div>

My personal favorite (I forget who the actor is here):

John Travolta buzzes in.

Alex: “And it’s an audio daily double. Name this continent:”

Voice Over: “Asia.”

As Travolta concentrates. And concentrates. And concentrates some more.

Cracks me up.

It’s not the MPAA, it’s the RIAA! Unless “Man Who Sleeps A Lot” started carrying movies, too…

I see you wrote your wager first, Mr. Connery. And you wagered a Buck.  
Let’s see what you have for a question…  
Futter

Remember the one where Mr. Connery made a middle finger. . .

**AT:** I’m going to hold up an object, and you buzz in and tell me what it is.  
**SC:** It’s a man with a moustache.  
**AT:** No, Mr. Connery, I am not the object.

* * *

**AT:** And the answer is "He is the current President of the United States. His last name is Clinton. His first name is Bill. His name is Bill Clinton. For goodness sakes, somebody just say Bill Clinton.
