Alex Trebek showed off his rap skills on Jeopardy when he rapped Kanye West, Designer and several other famous hip-hop heavyweights' lyrics as part of a special category on the show.

CULVER CITY, Calif. (KGO) -- "Jeopardy!" viewers a side of Alex Trebek the world has never seen before during Monday's show.

Rap and Jeopardy may not go together normally, but Trebek had hustle and flow when he took on Drake's "Started From the Bottom," Designer's "Panda," Kendrick Lamar's "Maad City" and lastly, Kanye West's controversial hit "Famous."

"They mad they ain't famous, they mad they still nameless, but we still hood famous," he rapped. "Yeah we still hood famous."

After the contestant answered, "Who is Kanye West," Trebek wryly replied, "Yes. I hope I don't get an email from him."

Although he didn't drop the mic, he did wrap all the answers in the "Let's Rap, Kids" category. Will there be a mixtape in his future? Only time will tell.
