“I’ll take Awh Hell Nah for $800.”
Chadwick Boseman is having a hell of a time right now.
With Black Panther now officially one of the ten biggest box office hits of all time ($1.3 billion and counting), he is one of the central figures in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War, and now he is hosting Saturday Night Live, and was absolutely exceptional in the role.
One of the recurring sketches on SNL is Black Jeopardy, which is basically the same as regular game show Jeopardy, except the answers to the questions are brilliantly skewered singularly towards the black American audience.
Here was an iconic version of the sketch featuring Tom Hanks as a Trump-loving southerner:
This time, Shanice (Leslie Jones), Rashad (Chris Redd) and T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) compete on Black Jeopardy, hosted by Darnell Hayes (Kenan Thompson).
The categories this time are Grown Ass, Awh Hell Nah, Fid’na, Girl Bye, I Ain’t Got It, and (as always) White People.
It takes a little while for T’Challa to fully understand the concept of the game, but when he gets there, he is fully on board.
