Long-running trivia show “Jeopardy!” keeps going viral for its admiration for the rap game. This week, the game show once again tipped its cap to the culture.
Footage has surfaced of “Jeopardy!” using Chicago rap newcomer Chance The Rapper as an answer to one of its questions.

Earlier this month, a “Jeopardy” clip went viral over a contestant using the late 2Pac as an answer to a Notorious B.I.G. question.

Back in October, “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek treated contestants to a few bars off rap star Drake’s “Jumpman, Jumpman” single.
Drake was an answer on tonight’s episode of “Jeopardy!.” Alex Trebek rapped a part of “Jumpman,” from the Future collaboration What a Time to Be Alive, for the clue: “This Canadian rapped, ‘Jumpman, Jumpman, Jumpman, them boys up to somethin’/ Uh, uh, uh, I think I need some Robitussin,’” forgetting a “Jumpman” in the process.

Earlier the same month, “Jeopardy!” contestant Susan Cole flipped the script on Trebek after he clowned her for liking “nerdcore hip-hop.”
The long-time “Jeopardy!” host made his feelings about “nerdcore hip-hop” abundantly clear after contestant Susan Cole described her love for it on Wednesday night’s show. “Losers, in other words,” he said. But Cole had the last laugh on Wednesday considering she dominated the competition by taking home $22,600 to win the episode. That means she will return for Thursday’s show, where surely she and Trebek will have something to talk about. (Today)
