Lmao om the old show they did one where the category was Japan U.S. relations and "Connery" goes "I'll take Jap Anus Relatioms"

When Norm Macdonald was hired, they wanted each performer to be able to do two characters, and two celebrity impressions. He couldn't really do either, but he was hired as a writer. The only impression he could do was Burt Reynolds as his character from the movie Smokey and The Bandit. So he wrote Celebrity Jeopardy just to do his Burt Reynolds impression.

Christoph Waltz is a two time Academy Award winner and starred in two Quentin Tarantino films, "Inglorious Basterds" and "Django Unchained". He also starred in "Water for Elephants". Speaks multiple languages fluently. Burt Reynolds was a huge star and who in two movie franchises early in his career that featured him being a moonshiner who drove fast to avoid the police (the steering wheel reference). He also starred in later movies "Striptease" and "Boogie Nights". Sean Connery played James Bond in more movies than any other actor. Matthew McConaughey starred in a movie called "The Lincoln Lawyer" then became the spokesperson for Lincoln cars.

I have watched Jeopardy since I was a child. I am 62. Every time they aired a Celebrity Jeopardy tournament, these people showed us just how truly stupid they are, for the most part. Dummied down questions and they would still not get them right. So SNL just took it a step further. The Sean Connery character was comedy GOLD!!

The characters of the celebrities is completely created, how they are really are isn't a factor in how SNL presents them, which is part of the silliness of the Celebrity Jeopardy skits...actually, Burt Reynolds liked the impression so much he wanted to come on the show and be even stupider than the portrayal, but died B4 he could

Burt Reynold was a huge star and sex symbol of the 70s and early 80s. Movies like: Deliverance, Smokey and the Bandit, and Boogie Nights, he was one of Hollywood's ultra confident, masculine, and underrated actors of his time.

Alec Baldwin's Tony Bennett impression is AMAZING. He looks and sounds just like him.

Norm's Burt is less about what Burt was really like and more of a "Norm thing" but it extended through quite a few of these Jeopardy skits. It's more based on the types of characters he would play (masculine idiot but guaranteed hero so there is an unwavering confidence in spite of plenty of counterevidence), more of a caricature of a couple traits than a real impersonation, but even without it being accurate it was great because it was so absurdist (like most "Norm things")

Just wait until you catch the one where Connery selects the category, "The Pen Is Mightier."

While Celebrity Jeopardy's main joke was making fun of how dumbed down the questions on that show are when they have celebrity contestants, it quickly evolved (devolved?) onto an ongoing showcase of Sean Connery (and occasionally Burt Reynolds) tormenting Alex Trebek.

Celebrity Jeopardy is one of the all-time best skits in SNL history

The fact that you don't know Burt Reynolds is quite surprising, most people at least know him from his iconic moustache look, if not from his movies. Look him up, he was a HUGE movie star in the 80s I highly recommend reacting to the original Celebrity Jeopardy bits from SNL, they are absolutely hilarious xD

Oh my, Sean Connery is making me laugh so hysterically that I’m crying.

I just want to put it out there that Norm MacDonald wrote all the celebrity jeopardy sketches. If they ever do another one, it would be without his influence. To be fair... I still want them to do another one. Even though Norm and Alex Trebek have passed... they can easily do another one and I would still laugh.

Yeah please do more SNL Celebrity Jeopardy, they are great!

2015 was the 40th anniversary of SNL. Tony Bennett is a crooner from the '50's famous for the song " I Left My Heart in San Francisco." Bert Reynolds Was an actor from the 60's -2000's mostly comedies. He was considered a Sex symbol. His most popular movies were the Smokey and the Bandit series, Cannon Ball Run, The Longest Yard. (He was in Both). Christoph Waltz is an actor that you would most likely know from the movie Django Unchained. Where he played the character Dr. King Schultz. The actor playing Waltz was "Spot On!" Sean Connery does not have a bad reputation. It is just that the 1st time they used the Character on "Celebrity Jeopardy" , that character took a disliking to Mr Trebek. and from that point on he would antagonize him. It was kind of the same with the Bert Reynolds character, only it was the stupidity of him that drove Trebek mad!

No, on Jeopardy they give you the "answer" and you have to answer with the "question"!

There is a subtlety to these impersonations that you will only get if you watch some of their work.

burt reynolds did Smoky and the bandit movies in the 1970s probably the biggest movies he was the heartthrob of the 70s he also did the longest yard

Your journey into SNL elite sketches is going to be such a joy to watch. Love your reactions EDIT: anything with WIll Ferrel or Kate Mckinnonthe one who plays Justin Bieber) is Gold!

I love these Celebrity Jeopardy skits - great reaction! If either Burt Reynolds or Norm MacDonald, who is playing Burt Reynolds, walked into your house, they would both sadly be ghosts. I love them both on Celebrity Jeopardy, tho!

I believe this was the year that the movie "The Lincoln Lawyer' starring Mathew McConaughey was released. After that he did air in a few Lincoln commercials.

My stomach hurts....thanks for the laughs and the workout! 😄

What makes the Sean Connery impression so funny is that it is absolutely nothing like him and he would have no reason in the world to be hostile to Alex Trebec. It's completely out of nowhere.

Tony Bennett is pretty much the last of the Old Time Crooners like Sinatra and Dean Martin. He is in his 90's so i'm guessing he put the buzzer to his mouth because he thought it was a mic lol.

This particular sketch aired in 2015 as part of a primetime special celebrating the 40th anniversary of SNL. It also featured a few other well-known sketches, as well as a number of other great things from throughout the years, too many to mention.

ROTFLMAO! The fact that you laughed at any of this truely makes me believe you're a good sport with a tremendous sense of humor. You made my day. Thank you.

I'm dying laughing and I've seen it 100 times lol

Tony Bennett is the last of the old school crooners. You may have heard of The Rat Pack - Frank Sinatra , Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. Tony was big the same time they were. He's been around for decades and did a duets album first with Canadian singer K. D. Lang then with Lady Gaga. He's also done some duets with the late Amy Winehouse. I think he did a duets album with a lot of different singers as well including AW. There are a few SNL skits of Alec Baldwin hosting The Anthony Benedetto Show where he potrayed Tony hosting a talk show. This reaction may be the hardest i've heard you laugh ! Watch more of these Celebrity Jeopardy episodes cause the banter between Connery & Trebek is hilarious.

If Burt Reynolds walks through your door you better RUN GIRL!!! Too funny

Also Jeopardy gives you the answers and the contestants provide the questions.

Black Jeopardy with Tom Hanks is hilarious.

In the show "My Name is Earl", Burt Reynolds played a character called Big Chubby, and Norm Macdonald played his obnoxious son Little Chubby.

Jeopardy is played where the clues are the answers, and the contestants are giving the question being answered- thats why they have to say "who is" or "what is"

On the show Jeopardy; they have celebrity charity shows. They give the celebrities easy softball questions, so they can win money for their charity.

Burt Reynolds 70's swoon artist. Smokey and the bandit, Longest yard, etc. Sally Fields.

Iconic SNL Jeopardy Skits, I don’t know how Will kept a straight face for years, these were always my favourite during this era as you didn’t know what chaos was about to ensue, please react to some more Britt you will not be disappointed.

She can Imitate anyone! You should see her play a woman abducted by aliens along with her two friends!! SO FUNNY!

For the unaware, this series started out as a way to poke fun at the fact that the celebrity episodes of game shows (especially Jeopardy) dumb down the questions. It's partially because the celebs are playing for charity, and also keeps the celebs from looking bad in front of a live audience. A lot of them didn't get very far in school. Then it became more about the characters shown on the SNL sketches. Burt Reynolds and Sean Connery were regulars in the series, and a lot of other big name celebrities were made fun of too. They got Tom Hanks in a sketch to play himself, and it was great. They even got the real Alex Trebek when they thought they were ending the segment forever.

I love celebrity Jeopardy and I absolutely adore you Britt!!! We need to hang out and watch videos! You are an absolute sweetheart!

Celebrity Jeopardy is the best skit ever done on SNL, you have to do more of it.

The SNL Black Jeopardy featuring Chadwick Boseman (R.I.P.) as King T'Challa is the origin of the current meaning of Karen. It's also funny.

Burt Reynolds was partly responsible for the mustache craze of the 70's and 80's. Women loved him, men wanted to be him. He was a television actor (the star of "Dan August") who was launched into super stardom in the 70s after appearing as the first centerfold in Playgirl magazine. Norm's impression is scary good.

Tony Bennett is one of the great singers of all time, up there with Frank Sinatra. Tony just died about a year ago at 90 I think. That's Alec Baldwin playing him in the skit.

If decide to do another one of these highly recommend the one with Tom Hanks

The reason Burt Reynolds was wearing a cowboy hat was because he wore one in "Smokey and the Bandit" , still considered one of his most famous movies . The Pontiac Trans Am he drove in that movie is famous too , and cars that are still around that are identical to it are considered collector's items , and are popular at classic car shows .

There is a whole series of these. The celebrities change, but they always have Alex's nemesis: Sean Connery. And yes, he had a reputation for being mysoginst.

Tony Bennett is a old Big Band singer from the 1940s, the only reason I know is he is one of my grandmother's favorite musicians, he was holding the buzzer like that it indicate the character is so used to holding a microphone. Tony Bennett is known for the songs Rags to Riches, I Left my Heart in San Francisco, and many others, those are just the ones I hear most often.

Christoph Waltz was Dr. King Schultz in Django Unchained. None of this is inappropriate, it's hilarious.

Burt Reynolds was the biggest star in Hollywood for about five or six years in the late '70s. Seriously.

You leave to admit it blows away current snl Ps I’m Falling in love watching you

Hi Britt, Tony Bennett is a singer that’s been around for decades, Burt Reynolds is an actor that has died, and was in the movie series “Smokey and the Bandit” with Sally Field.

Wow you have my day @BrittReacts, the way you react to Connery’s mispronunciation of words is brilliant and your voice is heavenly. Much love from Sleaford, England.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Therapists was my favorite celebrity Jeopardy category watch them all lol they did these skits for years

Tony Bennett is a singer who also did duets including with Lady Gaga, he began his career around I think the 1940s or 50s. In this case, Alec Baldwin portrays Bennett 😂 The real Sean Connery is the original James Bond. Darryl Hammond also portrayed Phil Donahue and a few others. His favorite thing is to mock Trebek or his mother or to misread the categories.

Tony Bennett is like a 60s singer. Though at advanced age, he had duets with Lady Gaga and Amy Winehouse.

My faves are with Tom Hanks and Chadwick Boseman as T,Cholla ! ❤

You should see his interpretation of "The Pen Is Mightier"

Watch Burt Reynolds in Smokey & The Bandit, Longest Yard (original) and Biggest Little Whorehouse in Texas (w/Dolly Parton) and you’ll get the humor and him more. HUGE actor in 70s and 80s!!

year 2015. Look up Tony Bennett, he was a jazz singer for so many decades, is still with us barley, in his 90's now, suffering from Alzheimer's, he sang duets more recently with younger singers, esp Lady Gaga, and won a huge Grammy for that album. He took Lady Gaga under his wing and helped redefine and practically save her career. Burt Reynold was a major movie star of comedy and action films, had an infectious laugh, the women liked him, and they exaggerated him to the hilt. From Deliverance, a serious action film, or Sharkey's Machine, to the Smokey and the Bandit comedy movies, a comedy called The End, the Longest Yard, etc and his TV show evening Shade. At one time he played the blacksmith on the old westerns TV show "Gunsmoke." As a child, at one time, he lived in Lansing MI, my old home town, for a few years, before I was born.. Burt died a few years ago.

*For Sean Connery, look up, 'Sean Connery's views on women, relationships and masculinity" on here* *For Christoph Waltz look up, "Inglourious Basterds" (He's the extra evil German bad guy in that one.) and "Django Unchained". (He's the German good guy in that one.)* *For Burt Reynolds, just look up the trailers for "Smokey and the Bandit" & Cannon Ball Run"* *Those should give you a good idea of those guys.* *And, in the book, "Huckleberry Finn", the Black guy, who befriends Huck Finn is actually named, "N-word Jim". From what I understand, recent editions are finally omitting the first half of his name.*

Bert Reynolds is Norm McDonald.

Speaking of Mr. Bennett, you should react to one of the greatest crooners of all time. His rendition of "Shadow of a Smile" will put more than a smile on your face.

6:11 So...Tony Bennett is the last of the great crooners of the 20th century, he's holding the buzzer like a mic, as you would when you are singing on stage. Burt Reynolds is driving in, it's a reference to his most well-known movie "Smokey and the Bandit". Burt's personality is pretty much like Norm portrays, kinda smart-alecy.

This is what I believe they call SATIRE.

One of my old favorites was Sean Conner reading "An Album Cover" as "Anal Bum Cover." The older Celebrity Jeopardies were less crazy and parodied the show more directly, it was probably my favorite recurring sketch in the late 90's and early 2000's.

I love your confusion, surprise and laughter. Im subscribing for more. Burt Reynolds was a kick back good ol boy from the 70s and 80s… before you were born😅

Wait a second....there was an SNL Jeopardy skit video she was reacting to? So I've always been a big fan of these Jeopardy skits that SNL has done. I'm sorry if this is out of line, but I can't stop staring at how amazingly beautiful this woman is. I suddenly feel as if the greatest poems ever written by man couldn't possibly have been given meaning without the author's witnessing her smile before penning the prose. I'm not trying to be some "creepy old man", but just a fan of such stunning beauty. I can't imagine how renaissance master's canvases could bring forth depth or dimension without having their eyes gaze upon this masterpiece of God's creation first. I apologize, if this makes anyone feel weird, but I just felt that I needed to pay her this compliment. I could just imagine what the Sean Connery character would say if he could see her. Lol

Norm MacDonald was brilliant. Those SNL Celebrity Jeopardy skits were great.

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga did an album of American standards awhile back if I’m not mistaken. He was a legend, started his music career after WWII

Tony Bennett is in the category of "crooner," like Frank Sinatra (I'll assume you've heard of him).

Burt Reynolds actually started on Gunsmoke. He is most well know for the Smoky and The Bandit movies.

Tony Bennett, a life long pop and jazz singer, who performed with Lady Gage towards the end of his career.

Have you seen any of the Black Jeopardies on SNL with Tom Hanks or Chadwick Bozeman? Hilarious!

ALAS, i can assure you that we have no such french expression here. 😆

Burt is Norm McDonald

Absolutely love your reactions. I think I was having several of the same at the same time you did. Celebrity Jeopardy is awesome and you’ll live them if you choose to do more!!!! Keep smiling😊😊

Tony Bennet is an old-school crooner. Burt Reynolds was the definition of manliness in Hollywood in the late 70s and early 80s

Movies to watch to find out who some of these characters are: Burt Reynolds...(just a few) Deliverance, Smokey and the Bandit, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas / Christoph Waltz...Inglourious Basterds or Django Unchained / Tony Bennett...a famous singer from the 1950's and 60's, most well known song was "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." / Matthew McConaughey...aside from commercials for Lincoln cars, he starred in the 2011 movie "The Lincoln Lawyer."

Also if you wanna know who Burt Reynolds is, you have to watch Smokey and the Bandit! It would make a GREAT reaction video. One of the true legends of the 70's and 80s. He was a movie star that played football at Florida State. Iconic.
