Alex Trebeck is everyone’s favorite Canadian (apologies to the two Ryans). He is so lovable, and never intentionally says anything mean to anyone on the show. However, the other night he did.
The Jeopardy host was talking to a contestant about her favorite type of music, and he said to her, “It doesn’t like fun.”
What type of music is it? She says it is called Nerd Core Hip Hop. I never heard of it, have you? We are not alone, Trebeck was also clueless about it, so he asked what it is for $200.
Susan says it is for “People, who identify as nerdy, rapping about the things they love, videogames, science fiction, having a hard time meeting romantic partners. You Know?” This is where it got really good. Without hesitation, Trebeck responds to her with, “Losers, in other words.”
I have no idea where that came from because he always so nice, but I love it. It is so out of right field; I didn’t know how to react to him being all savage. Therefore, I had to watch it over and over again. You know what, it gets funnier every time.
When it comes to the musicians of Nerd Core Hip Hop, I can already imagine their diss back. They’ll be like, “We might be losers, but we are the ones playing Jeopardy. You are just the host!” He will tell them, “Yeah, but I live in a multi-dollar mansion with a much younger wife, and you live in your mother’s basement with a fleshlight.” With that, the mic has been dropped.
UPDATE: My friend told me this is an oldie but goodie diss. It originally aired in October of 2016.
