On yesterday's episode of the long-running game show Jeopardy!, host and budding hip-hop artist Alex Trebek got yet another chance to show off his rapping skills. This time, the subject was a theme song near and dear to the hearts of anyone who watched NBC in the early '90s:
Coming just a year after the "It's a Rap" category challenged Trebek to spit rhymes from Public Enemy and Dr. Dre, it's increasingly clear that Jeopardy!'s clue writers are just curious to see what they can get Trebek to rattle off on television. Maybe try some Twista next time?
