Sometimes Alex Trebek's secret talent is revealed on Jeopardy.
On Wednesday night, a contestant chose the "Musical Acts" category, and the iconic host did more than just read Drake's lyrics to "Jumpman," he rapped them a bit. Given how good he was at reciting the rhymes, Trebek must be a fan of his fellow Canadian.
This isn't the first time Jeopardy fans have seen the 76-year-old TV personality throw down hip-hop related clues. Public Enemy, Notorious B.I.G., Fetty Wap, Kanye West and Will Smith's Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song have also been saluted on the game show.

Original savage Alex Trebek called one contestant a loser on Jeopardy yesterday after she admitted a love for Nerdcore hip-hop. The whole thing happened on-air, during the portion of the show where contestants stop and share a little bit about themselves in between rounds. Alex started off the conversation by telling the audience about her musical preferences, adding that "it doesn't sound like fun." Susan Cole of Bowie, Maryland explained, "I think it's very fun. It's called nerdcore hip-hop." She continued, "It's people who identify as nerdy, rapping about the things they love; video games, science-fiction, having a hard time meeting romantic partners." Lol. Honestly, it sounds pretty fun to us!...

During Wednesday’s episode of Jeopardy, contestant Susan Cole explained her passion for “nerdcore hip-hop,” which involves rapping about “video games, science-fiction” and, naturally, “having a hard time meeting romantic partners.”
But the game show’s once-mustachioed host felt he had a more appropriate word to describe this particular group of performers: “losers.”
Fortunately, Cole got the last laugh, winning the game and pocketing more than $20,000. (And you know we’ll be tuning in for her return on Thursday.)

It’s safe to say that “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek does not listen to nerdcore hip-hop. On Wednesday’s episode of the game show, a contestant explained that the genre features rappers who talk about “video games, science-fiction, having a hard time meeting romantic partners.” That didn’t sound like fun to Trebek, who responded, “Losers, in other words.” Yoooooooo, Alex Trebek is the coldest dude in the game, lololololol.

Exclusive… Update: Sources now tell me that all three female executives in employments disputes with the Walt Disney Co have settled – including one today. This is many months after the women lost their jobs in a Department Of Consumer Products reorganization set in motion nearly a year ago by Marvel boss Ike Perlmutter who is Disney’s 2nd largest shareholder. Former Dcp head of fashion and home products Pam Lifford, former chief financial officer Anne Gates, and former Dcp Hr exec Susan Cole Hill were all represented by the same attorney with the Pasadena law firm Hadsell, Stormer, Keeny, Richardson and Rennick which has sued Disney in other employee rights cases. According to my sources, the three women, who are all African Americans, referred to themselves as “The Help” – a reference to last summer’s hit DreamWorks movie distributed by Disney and set during the civil rights movement about black maids in Mississippi.

Last night, I moderated a debate on pornography at Stetson University between The Surreal Life 2 cast member Ron Jeremy, who of course is not best known for his appearance on reality TV, and Susan Cole, an editor at a Canadian weekly. Ron, of course, defended his industry. I'm struggling to remember much about his time on the show since it was seven years ago, beyond his friendship with Tammy Faye Messner, so I was...

Ashley Cole's dad has revealed that his son deserves to be dumped by wife Cheryl. Following a series of tabloid revelations about his repeated infidelity, Cheryl has flown to Los Angeles to get away from her cheating spouse. With reports that she is weighing up the idea of ending their relationship, Cole's father has now suggested that his boy has brought it all on himself and needs to change. Ron Callender told the News Of The World: "This is as though Ashley is asking for Cheryl to divorce him. I can't say I'd blame her if she did. Cheryl has been shamed by what Ashley has done. People may be nice to her face because she's a famous singer, but they will be looking at her and thinking she's a mug for sticking by him after all he's done." The 52-year-old factory worker originally split from Ashley's mother Susan Cole...
