As soon as the opening music played, we knew it was coming. Will Ferrell was back as Alex Trebek for the classic Celebrity Jeopardy sketch that has the poor game show host being tormented by his eternal foe, Sean Connery, played by Darrell Hammond. But because this is the special 40th Anniversary Show of Saturday Night Live, we were in store for more than just Hammond’s Connery, Kate McKinnon’s amazing Justin Bieber and Alec Baldwin’s hilarious Tony Bennett.
Jim Carrey, Taran Killam, Kenan Thompson and, of course, Norm Macdonald chipped in with a few more celebrity impressions to make this new version of arguably the greatest recurring sketch of the late ’90s/early ’00s a glorious mess of nonsense.
