A cross-section of '90s Saturday Night Live and current Jeopardy! fans rejoiced Friday night when Alex Trebek introduced the first Double Jeopardy category: "The Pen is Mightier."
Sixteen years after Sean Connery, played by Darrell Hammond, thought the category referred to a penis enlarger on SNL's "Celebrity Jeopardy" sketch--perturbing Will Ferrell's always-peeved Trebek--it showed up on the actual show.

#ThePenIsMightier as a category on Celebrity @Jeopardy ! Where's #Connery when you need him?— Russell N. Greenleaf (@mrgreenleaf82) May 15, 2015
For those who don't remember the bit: Connery just has to ask Trebek about the "Penis Mightier category." No matter how much Trebek tries to correct him, Connery isn't convinced.
"Gussy it up however you want, Trebek," Connery says. "What matters is does it work? Will it really mighty my penis, man?"
