During the segment, the 76-year-old game show host had to repeat well-known lyrics from some of the biggest hip-hop artists on the planet.
Trebek even ignited a potential feud with Kanye West while throwing a jab at the 39-year-old “Fade” rapper. When a contestant on the show named Julia correctly guessed the lyrics to one of Kanye’s hit songs, Trebek said, “Yes, and I hope I don’t get an email from him.”
After Alex Trebek showed off his mad lyrical skills on TV, the Internet went absolutely insane. Thousands of social media users took to Twitter to post hilarious commentary that will have you rolling on the floor laughing.
