The world has seen plenty of intense rivalries: the Red Sox versus the Yankees, the Montagues versus the Capulets, Donald Trump versus common sense. But few have captivated an audience like the legendary conflict between Alex Trebek and his arch nemesis Turd Ferguson. Actually, this ongoing fictional dispute stems from a string of perfectly ridiculous and comedic “Celebrity Jeopardy!” sketches on Saturday Night Live. With Will Farrell (Trebek) and Norm McDonald (Ferguson) no longer on the show, we thought the conflict died with it but, alas, it’s alive and well thanks to the brilliant work of one Jeopardy contestant.

In a video posted to Uproxx, contestants were given this clue: This song from a 1999 animated film about censorship had a word censored from its Oscar performance. A contestant named Talia came up with the perfect Final Jeopardy answer, forcing Trebek to utter the name we all wanted to hear him say: “What is the Love Ballad of Turd Ferguson?”

She didn't win any points for that but we're pretty sure she's about to gain some Internet infamy.
