Kareem Abdul Jabbar on Jeopardy

[blackyoshi1230]

Is the third contestant Michael Caine?

[Tubewings]

@blackyoshi1230 No, that's Michael McKean. He's done pretty much everything.

[ashcarl116]

I just saw the whole show, this part is funny alone, because it gets you attention, you laugh wondering "what's he doing responding his own name to a question?"

on jeopardy NO currently playing contestant can be an answer to a question

[judgepuddles]

I wondered what Bill Walton said when he saw this...

[ayumunarumi15]

delivered the line? what does that mean?

[pioneerrunner]

@ayumunarumi15 Kareem said this line in the movie Airplane! and probably thought they were asking for who said the line which was him, not who the line was talking about.

[thugswannabee]

EPIC. FAIL!!!!!!

[libertatus]

Ever have those moments when you feel like a doofus?  -Me, too!

[KWCline91]

The keyword was trailblazer

[redeyedbandit1251]

This was great, I remember seeing this. Plus, Alex is awesome. No!

[Jaeger7793]

In his defense, that movie was filmed a good 30 years before this aired. I sure as hell wouldn't remember something like that.

[ashcarl116]

@Jaeger7793 he may not even remember getting sick in the film

[taylormade6700]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannng!



[ashcarl116]

why doesn't anyone post have and post the next question. it's a daily double, he bets 8000 and doesn't get it right.

[chaveznieves]

anyone have the full episode?

[Funan10]

i love kareem.  hope he's winning with his battle with cancer.

[troydninja]

Kareem: Uh I went to ucla for four hundred dollars

Alex: You're gonna love it Tell your old man to drag this 70s ucla and trail blazer center (and lanier!) up and down the court for forty eight minutes Kareem

Kareem: Who Is Kareem Abdul Jabbar

Alex: No! You're the one who delivered the line but it was about Bill Walton

Kareem: Oh

Alex: Embrassing moments on JEOPARDY! pick again though Kareem you're in command of the board

Kareem: I went to ucla almost

[AveolarD]

@troydninja we heard it. are you practicing your transcribing skills?

[MoeSkids]

@troydninja is there a reason you would waste your time typing that out?? i dont understand

[Patros2006]

epic fail

[PrinceTrexus]

it was Alex's fault for telling Kareem, "You're gonna love this"

[CircleCityEric]

With any luck, THIS MOMENT WILL LIVE ON FOREVER!!!!!!

[CoolPotatoBeans]

lolololololol so funny

[GreenRanger1337]

Surely, you can't be serious, Kareem?

[Lu1g1San]

When Kramer hears about this, the shit's gonna hit the fan!

[UnionKid15]

haha funny.

[NebraskaFan77]

Alex Trebek always loves to shut down contestants

[bluebear1985]

@NebraskaFan77 No kidding. One time when current Minnesota Democratic Senator Al Franken was playing, the category was 20th Century Women, and he wagered only $200 on the daily double because he claimed, "I don't know anything about women", to which Alex replied, "That's what your wife said".

[gotch09]

People can say the darnest things sometimes.

[DominoRyder]

LOL Kareem can't even remember his own quotes.

[painlessissuicide]

@DominoRyder give him a break, he said it in a movie 30 years ago

[simpsonsfan2007]

Funnier than his previous appearance on here, when he gave the answer "hair" and drew laughs from the audience.

[tannerex]

0:14 Biggest NOOO ever.

[Fanik8]

@tannerex That was classic and vintage Kareem took it all in stride!!

[BriteWingz]

Why has Kareem not hosted Saturday Night Live? He is VERY FUNNY AND A NEW YORKER.

[sengoku17]

@BriteWingz he also fought brucee leee

[contact1araya]

Kareem should have gone into movies he is hilarious...not deliverately.

[Fanik8]

Kareem's awesome!!

[ranma763]

Kebert Xela

[rschloe0]

hahaha

[boygenius88]

LMAO!!! I think it would have been better had the question REALLY been about Kareem, but Kareem himself didn't know about it :)

[NebraskaFan77]

Classic soundbyte on Jim Rome

[DriveByLawsuit]

That look on this face from 0:16 to 0:20 is just priceless.

[gameshowguy2000]

This was pretty hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing!

[Heavencloud]

lol .

[angrywiggler64]

LMAO

this is hilarious

go Kareem =]

[NebraskaFan77]

Classic on Romey!

[mfxdoodist]

fake

[strong8action]

You should have allowed the daily double to be included in this video. In my opinion, the daily double was much more embarassing for kareem than this question.

[Kyllz]

yea i watched that live.. he did well til that point.. then the wheels fel off

[teamlk]

Guess he forgot he was a LAKER hahahaha

[JasonPotapoff]

Plus if it was a quote he said himself the answer to the question could as easily have been him. In other words it's not that hard to interpret that question as asking who said it and not who the quote was referring to especially considering the time frame involved to parse the question and how Trebeck led into it.

[strong8action]

Shouldve showed the next question, it was a double jeopardy.

[thugly921]

yea, this isn't that bad. he's a charismatic guy, and was able to laugh at himself about it.

[theDIguy08]

Umm, Kareem, you never played for the Trailblazers....You know that right?..Kareem???

[sofakingvile]

it said trailblazer center...  he was a trailblazer center... he blazed trails alright... understandable.

[shakeNspray]

this isn't has bad as people are making it out to be. It was funny and I he handled it very well.

[toolman820]

We all make mistakes...I'm not putting Kareem down for it...it was just funny.

[shakeNspray]

I know but the media and other people are making this out to be a HUGE deal, and after I read the article and saw your video, I just laughed to myself.

[WiltatKansas]

@shakeNspray Why he looks like if he was still in the 80's?
