But the constant was the beloved Canadian host Trebek with his witty quips and “willingness to roast his contestants,” as one fan described.
A fan favourite clip is of one contestant who explained her favourite type of music was “nerd-core hip-hop” to a bemused Trebek.
“It’s people who identify as nerdy, rapping about the things they love ā video games, science fiction, having a hard time meeting romantic partners,” described the player.
Without hesitation, the host replied, “Losers, in other words.”
