We'll take awkward Jeopardy! moments for $1,000, please.

Alex Trebek caught some flak from Battle of the Decades contestant Tom Kavanaugh this week -- and it was, um, uncomfortable.

Trebek asked Kavanaugh how he would spend his million-dollar prize if he were to win the tournament. Kavanaugh explained he was looking to shoot a documentary on sweatshop labor: "So it’s to try to put a face on who makes our clothes. Maybe you can find out the names of the 8-year-olds who made your fancy suit there, Alex."

Skip ahead to 1:26 to see Trebek get owned on his own TV show.
