All-Star "Celebrity Jeopardy" sketch from SNL 40th Anniversary
John Hendrickson (esquire.com)
Sean Connery, Justin Bieber, Tony Bennett, and "Turd Ferguson." -- Of all the franchise sketches to reappear on SNL 40 Sunday night, "Celebrity Jeopardy" may have been the best. There was Will Ferrell in a bad suit and even worse tie as perpetually pissed-off Alex Trebek. There was Darrell Hammond as (a slightly fleshier) Sean Connery, taunting Trebek from the first scene. There was Alec Baldwin nailing Tony Bennett. Kate McKinnon and Jim Carrey perfected their already-stellar impressions of Justin Bieber and Matthew McConaughey, respectively. And then Norm MacDonald steamrolled in as Burt Reynolds/Turd Ferguson, big hat and all. More
