Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

If you’re a Jeopardy fan, you will know that every now and then the popular game show includes questions alluding to pop culture.

Well, they did just that in a recent episode that had host Alex Trebek asking a question about Drake’s lyrics to his hit single “Jumpman” from his 2015 What A Time To Be Alive mixtape with Future.

To make the segment even more fun, Trebek had to read, or “rap”, lines from the song to ask the question. 

“This Canadian rapped ‘Jumpman, Jumpman, Jumpman, them boys up to something,’” the question read. “Uh, uh, uh, I think I need some Robitussin.” See how he did in the clip below.

Even though Trebek noticeably missed a “jumpman,” we’ll forgive him. The internet loved it, of course:
