Alex Trebek calls ’em like he sees ’em, folks.

During Wednesday’s episode of Jeopardy, contestant Susan Cole explained her passion for “nerdcore hip-hop,” which involves rapping about “video games, science-fiction” and, naturally, “having a hard time meeting romantic partners.”

But the game show’s once-mustachioed host felt he had a more appropriate word to describe this particular group of performers: “losers.”

Fortunately, Cole got the last laugh, winning the game and pocketing more than $20,000. (And you know we’ll be tuning in for her return on Thursday.)
