Watch SNL's Sean Connery torment SNL's Alex Trebek for 9 bittersweet minutes

Beloved Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek died Sunday morning of pancreatic cancer at age 80, eight days after Sean Connery's death at age 90. The two celebrities had little in common except their fame and a fictional antagonist relationship created over nearly a decade of Saturday Night Live skits featuring Darrell Hammond's Connery needling and insulting Will Ferrell's Trebek on Celebrity Jeopardy!

On Sunday, Nexstar Media's Austin Kellerman compiled some moments from one of SNL's great running gags and put them together in roughly thematic order. There are some borderline NSFW jokes, but nothing too risqué for network TV. Trebek told The Hollywood Reporter in 2012 that he loved the skits — and told Ferrell so. "He was quite taken that I had noticed," Trebek said. "Every taping, somebody in the audience says, 'How do you feel about the Will Ferrell impression of you on SNL?' And I say the same thing every time: I love it. I wish he was back on the show so he would do more." Assuming imitation is a great form of flattery, enjoy this homage to two late greats.
