"Black Jeopardy" is a recurring sketch on the American late-night live television sketch comedy and variety show, Saturday Night Live (SNL). In this sketch, contestants play a version of the popular game show Jeopardy!, but with a twist: the questions and categories often revolve around African-American culture, norms, and experiences.
When Tom Hanks hosted SNL, he participated in a memorable rendition of "Black Jeopardy." Hanks, known for his versatility and comedic timing, took on the role of a contestant trying to navigate the cultural references and humor inherent in the sketch.
The sketch typically features Kenan Thompson as the host, Darnell Hayes, who guides the contestants through the game. Despite initial skepticism or misunderstandings from the non-black contestants, they often find common ground and humor as the game progresses. The sketch cleverly explores issues of race, identity, and societal norms in a lighthearted and comedic manner.
Overall, Tom Hanks' participation in "Black Jeopardy" likely added to the sketch's humor and charm, as he engaged with the unique dynamics of the game and interacted with the other characters in the sketch.

Michael Che was the main writer on this sketch, and said that it came from observing how many similarities there were between the inner city neighborhood where he grew up, where there was a lot of religion, a distrust of the government, a lot of pickup trucks, and everyone had guns, and rural white neighborhoods that featured the same things.

Because when slaves were freed, the only people black people were allowed to live next to were poor whites. So they adopted a lot of the culture of those poor white people. Which is why they are so similar.

I love what you'all talked about, if you are from the same social class, you got a lot in common. A friend of mine put it like this: They put $10 on the table, and get us fighting. Because of my race I think I should have 6 and you 4. Because of your gender You think you should get 7 and me 3. And they egg us on because if we stopped fighting we'd notice.. wasn't there supposed to be $100 on this table? where'd that other 90 go? And the answer is always the ones stirring us up to fight over the $10.

This sketch is probably one of the best moments in SNL. I so hoped it might be a start to showing each other we aren't different at all. It took longer for the message to be heard than I would have liked, but it's being heard, and that's really what's important. Kinda of a shame they went back to the same old slop afterwards, but it was great in the moment.

White Canadian here, grew up with not much to our names all up and down British Columbia. We also had “the good chair”, “oven heat”, “car tape”, down/upstairs neighbors hitting the ceiling/stomping the floor cause the only rent I could afford isn’t in the best of neighborhoods, “my mechanic friend” who’ll do near anything for a flat of beer and some smokes, like all of this stuff in the Black Jeopardy sketches is super relatable to me and it makes me laugh my ass off. I’ve had to scrimp, claw, and sacrifice much of myself to crawl out of the poverty line, but let me tell ya, this province man.. this province goes out of its way to render whatever gains I attain mean nearly nothing by the time I get it. It can be depressing, so my mom taught me to look back on it all, and laugh at it. Because it’s all so ridiculous. And you better believe now that I’ve finally become a homeowner at nearly 40, one of the first things my wife and I agreed on was which one was the “packet drawer” ;)

When I saw this as a white man I recalled the time me and my best friend, also white, realized we were black.😉 We went into a grocery store at 2 in the morning and came out with fried chicken, crystal hot sauce and orange soda. This may seem racist but it's the opposite. Who doesn't like fried chicken, hot sauce and orange soda. We are not black but why is this a racist trope. Not saying that we have any idea what it feels like to be from black ancestors but when you're 20 years old, it's a bit of a wake up call. Love this sketch.

It’s true. You can listen to Chris Rock, George Lopez, and Jeff Foxworthy and relate to all of their stand up if you were poor. On a serious note, if you solved our differences in race, nationality, religion, etc. There will always be a difference in classism and that scares the shit out of the ruling class. That’s why they peddle fear and division. They don’t want us united over class because they are greatly outnumbered. Anyway, great skit. Also, the ongoing joke with this sketch is that the white people on Black Jeopardy always have the worst answers. Any other character is the same. They switched it up on this and it was the whitest person you can think of. 😂😂😂
