Alex Trebek Raps Fresh Prince Theme Song on Jeopardy!: Video

Publish date: 2024-08-21

Watch out, Will Smith! Longtime Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek rapped the lyrics to the popular Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song during the game show on Monday, June 29, and naturally, the moment has gone viral.

A contestant named Brandon decided to go for the "TV for $800" category.

"In the theme to this '90s sitcom," Trebek read aloud, before transitioning his intonation to mimic the original Smith-rapped theme song. "'I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, Yo, homes, smell ya later!'"

Another contestant, Ankoor, who was clearly a fan of smash '90s sitcom, replied: "What is the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."

Trebek isn't the only one who clearly loves the theme song. In April, an Oregon couple's pregnancy announcement went totally viral after they used the famous rap to illustrate their baby news.

Meanwhile, Jaden Smith joked recently about his dad's heyday on The Fresh Prince. "My dad went on national television with a crop top on, showing his belly button," the Hollywood scion told GQ.com in a recent interview. "And to this day he regrets it. So, I show him pictures of it and he thinks it's literally hilarious. THAT'S my favorite Fresh Prince outfit by far."
