If you've ever seen Will Ferrell's Alex Trebek face off against Darrell Hammond's Sean Connery and other celebrity guests on Saturday Night Live, you know the routine. How will Connery pronounce the category "Let It Snow?" On Sunday's 40th anniversary reunion show, the two regulars were joined by a rotating cast of celebrities playing other celebrities (Alec Baldwin's Tony Bennett and Jim Carrey's Matthew McConaughey were particularly spot-on), and as always, Trebek loses control of the game, and the viewers win. —Peter Weber
