Show Caption Hide Caption Contestant makes Alex Trebek say 'Turd Ferguson' on 'Jeopardy!' A 'Jeopardy!' contestant is being hailed a hero for getting Alex Trebek to say Turd Ferguson on national television. Mara Montalbano (@maramontalbano) has the story.

A contestant may have pulled off the best practical joke of all time on Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek.

When asked to name the song "from a 1999 animated film about censorship" a contestant named Talia decided to come up with a unique answer.

She wrote, "What is the love ballad of Turd Ferguson?'

Trebek read her answer, as the crowd laughed, and people on social media went wild.

If you've watched SNL's skit Celebrity Jeopardy, you know Turd Ferguson.

Will Ferrell plays Trebek in the classic skit and Norm MacDonald is Burt Reynolds. In the skit, Burt calls himself "Turd Ferguson" because he says, "it's a funny name."

While she may not have won the game, she won the hearts of many on the Internet.

As Dan Ehlke put it on Twitter, 'Love Ballad of Turd Ferguson' is the most exquisite Final Jeopardy response I've seen in many a moon.
