    This was such a scream--one of the funniest ideas SNL's writers have done. The sheer ridiculousness with just a grain of truth, makes it one of the best skits.

    As funny as these sketches were did anyone else notice Ferrel sounded NOTHING like Trebek?It was still funny.

    Pure Id (Connery) versus Superego (Trebek). The Jeopardy categories were funny, but the skit tended to drag on way too long until it was just obnoxious. While better than most any returning skit in the last decade, this still wasn't enough to get me to watch.

    Great stuff. Too bad SNL has lost their touch, or we could see even more classics.

    Connery classic: I'll take the rapists for eight hundred.

    Celebrity Jepardy is the SNL skit that I used to pray for when new episodes came on. You just can't resist laughing when Darrell Hammond/Sean Connery answers Dolly Parton to the Famous Titles category or Catherine Deneuve and Charo twice to FAMOUS FLICKS... classic material. 10 STARS!

    This one was a riot. Darrell Hammond's spoof of Sean Connery was absolutely hilarious and was definitely the high point of this skit.

    Celebrity Jeopardy was one of the better ongoing skits from Saturday Night Live. The concept was an obnoxious Alex Trebek (impersonated by Will Ferrell) who is forced to tolerate three idiot celebrities playing the famed trivia game show, usually one being Sean Connery (impersonated by Darrell Hammond). The keys to the success of the skit was that it relied on short, faced paced one-liners and the obvious chemistry between Ferrell and Hammond. While many of SNL's skits linger longer than they should, Celebrity Jeopardy always ended each skit before the comedy got tedious.

    One of my all-time favorites on SNL. Whenever I can, I have been downloading [oops! I said the D word!] the sketches from WinMx. This sketch has never made me NOT laugh. And I hope that when Will Ferrell hosts SNL one day, they'll do this sketch again.

    Not that bad for a newer skit. For some reason, I can only remember one with Burt Reynolds (not the real one).

    This is the best thing to ever come out of SNL in recent years. It was hilarious watching Sean Connery pick a fight with Alex Trebek.

    I still fall over laughing whenever I watch that . . . the Sean Connery character is just great. It's probably one of my favorite SNL skits.

    Celebrity Jeopardy is one of my favorite skits of all time! The dynamic between Will Ferrel as Alex Trebek and Darrell Hammond a Sean Connery is so hilarious! One of the best written skits ever!
