Trebek wasn't just freestyling, though -- the verse he spat came about thanks to a category about TV shows. The clue invited contestants to guess which show's theme song contained the lyrics, "I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, 'Yo, homes, smell ya later!'"
Naturally, Trebek couldn't pass up an opportunity to show off his flow, and did a rendition of the verse that would have made Will Smith proud. You can tell the contestants got a kick out of it, too, as they can be seen smirking once the host finishes reading/rapping the clue.
Check out Trebek in all his glory below. If this whole "Jeopardy!" thing doesn't work out, we think he may have a career in slam poetry ahead of him.
