I’ll Take Obamacare for $200, Al: Sharpton Mocks Cruz with Bizarre Jeopardy Parody

An MSNBC host with a penchant for strange, surface-level parodies of Republican politicians.

Who is Al Sharpton?

Yes, on Thursday evening, the Reverend Sharpton went the Full Trebek in zinging Ted Cruz after the Republican senator was honored as one of the answers on Jeopardy! recently, with classic categories like “Young Not So Invincibles” and “Canadian Fakin’.”

And the clues were things that Cruz has said about Obamacare, all of which were juxtaposed with the original clip of the Jeopardy! contestant guessing Cruz’s name.

So basically, it’s a bit with all the comic subtlety of a giant anvil dropped on Wile E. Coyote‘s head.
