“SNL50” gave viewers a classic show; even Kendrick Lamar got some airtime during it.
Kenan Thompson played his role as host of “Black Jeopardy” during a sketch on Sunday night’s 50th anniversary special over the weekend.
Thompson played host Darnell Hayes, aka Alex Treblack, with contestants being played by former cast members Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan, and Eddie Murphy.
Murphy got some of the biggest laughs as he knocked out impressions of Morgan.
“Welcome to ‘Black Jeopardy,’ the only ‘Jeopardy’ where every single viewer fully understood Kendrick’s halftime performance,” Thompson stated, which was a direct reference to Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl appearance and how some viewers claimed that they couldn’t understand a word he said.
The categories for the Jeopardy game were “Look Here,” “This Joker Talkin’ Bout,” “Leave Bronny Alone,” “Mannnn…,” “Live From New York” and, “White People.”
Kendrick Lamar Breaks Michael Jackson’s Record During Halftime Show
Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show sparked conversation among fans and critics as he performed several of his old and new hits.
Even Kanye West claimed Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX performance was his “favorite” since Michael Jackson’s in 1993.
Speaking of Michael Jackson, he now has to take a back seat to the Compton rapper.
His Super Bowl LIX halftime show is now the most-watched halftime show of all time, outdrawing Jackson’s halftime show from over 30 years ago.
Kendrick Lamar had so many viewers that he actually had more than what the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles had playing in the game.
Not helping matters was the Eagles destroying the Chiefs, 40-22.
