SNL brought back Black Jeopardy for its 50th anniversary special this week, with a star-studded throwback sketch featuring Eddie Murphy, Tracy Morgan, Leslie Jones, Kenan Thompson, Chris Rock, and Tom Hanks.

Or as host Darnell Hayes (Thompson, back in the role) calls the beloved parody game show, "the only Jeopardy where every single viewer fully understood Kendrick's halftime performance."

It was truly Murphy who stole the show, doing one of his signature impressions of Morgan (who was standing beside him as a character named Darius) in a nod to his days on Saturday Night Live in the '80s.

Come for Murphy's Morgan impression, stay for MAGA Tom Hanks back as Doug.
