SNL: Black Panther competes on Black Jeopardy (Video)
By Jeremy Dick
On last night’s Saturday Night Live, host Chadwick Boseman reprised his Black Panther role as T’Challa to compete on an episode of Black Jeopardy.
It’s going to be a while before we see the inevitable follow-up to Black Panther, so for now, T’Challa has taken to competing on Black Jeopardy!
Last night on Saturday Night Live, Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman reprised his role of T’Challa for a new sketch. For a Black Jeopardy segment, Boseman, as T’Challa, eagerly does his best in his quest to win the game. However, as he quickly finds out, things might be a bit different in Wakanda than they are around here.
T’Challa doesn’t quite understand the cultural differences. So when another contestant picks an answer from the “Fid’na” category, “This is the reason your cable bill is in your grand mamma’s name,” T’Challa gives a very nice answer. “What is, to honor her as the foundation of the family?” T’Challa says with a booming smile on his face.
“That’s really nice. It’s wrong, but it’s really nice,” the host responds in bewilderment. After another contestant rings in, they provide what is the correct answer: “What is, because I’m fid’na get a car, and I don’t need all that on my credit!” Despite losing, however, the high-grossing superhero just looks like he’s having the time of his life.
