Burt Reynolds played by Norm MacDonald was the original returning character but was replaced when he left/was
fired from Saturday Night Live. Sean Connery took over and Burt returned one last time in 2000 when Norm MacDonald hosted the show. The final Jeopardy categories are always geared towards the completely
incompetent guests and are as follows:
This body of water gave
Salt Lake City its name.
Write down the current
year.

food.
Where are you right now?
Are horsies
pretty?
Letters of the
alphabet.

Truly, there were no bad
episodes. All of the above episodes are between 5 and 8 minutes long and have all been encoded into
Real Media. They are posted on occasion in alt.binaries.multimedia.
And a quote for the road:
Trebek: You wrote down BUCK... and you wagered FUTTER. I don't get it...
Sean: Oh I think you do Trebek, I think you do indeed. BUCK FUTTER!!
