It’s been awhile since “Black Jeopardy” graced television screens.

But the sketch was back Sunday night during the 50th anniversary of “Saturday Night Live” on NBC.

The three-hour live special included “Black Jeopardy” with Kenan Thompson’s Darnell as the host, USA Today reported.

The skit also featured Leslie Jones, Tracy Morgan and Eddie Murphy.

Murphy impersonated Morgan better than Morgan himself, the outlet reported.

One part of the skit included no one knowing what “SNL” is.

Legendary actor Tom Hanks played Doug, the MAGA-hat wearing white guy.

He did not agree with “lives that matter” and wanted to create “White Jeopardy!” much to the chagrin of Thompson’s Darnell, who responded, “We don’t need it. We don’t need it.” 

Tom Hanks as MAGA.

In think he did a pretty good job representing a portion of the MAGA, which show racist tendencies and signs of cult-like behavior.
