Die-hard SNL fans fondly remember "Celebrity Jeopardy", which starred a mustachioed Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek. Now, Kenan Thompson has taken the helm as "Alex Treblack" in "Black Jeopardy".

The mustache may be gone, but there's still plenty of laughs. "Black Jeopardy" is a new installment to SNL's run of classic Jeopardy-inspired sketches. This version casted guest host Louis C.K. as Mark, an African American Studies professor at Brigham Young University.

Louis C.K. channeled the awkward middle-aged white male he is so well known for in Louie and most recently, in American Hustle. SNL cast members Jay Pharoah and Sasheer Zamata, appear as the other two "Black Jeopardy" contestants.
