I’m amazed people are raving about that “Black Jeopardy” sketch. It was a brazen ripoff of a _Chappelle’s Show_ sketch, “I Know Black People” (which supposedly used real contestants, including a real-life professor of African-American studies). I can’t be the only person who noticed that.

I thought about that too, but the Chappelle show had actual questions. Black Jeopardy was just nonsense.

The “nonsense” shtick might have also been a nod to [Pootie Tang](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pootie_tang), which Louis C.K. wrote and directed.
