There are two people in this world that definitely “don’t need no introduction”: Drake and Alex Trebek.
The rapper’s and the “Jeopardy!” host’s worlds collided on the Wednesday night edition of the game show when Trebek spit a few bars of Drake’s hit song “Jumpman.”
Trebek’s rap skills were too good and he seemed in Controlla control the entire time ― save for the one “jumpman” he forgot to mention.

No matter what, this definitely gave the “Jeopardy!” host — what is... “street cred” for 400? Get that man some Robitussin!
The internet went wild for the mic-drop moment and the fact that Trebek rapped the lyrics, instead of just reading them aloud:
