Wakanda-mania is showing no signs of slowing down as Marvel Studios' Black Panther continues to smash box office records. It's reached such a fever pitch that Wakanda's leader T'Challa dropped by NBC studios in New York City for a special appearance on "Black Jeopardy."

Chadwick Boseman donned his Marvel superhero garb to the delight of Saturday Night Live audience members for a hilarious skit depicting an uproarious twist to everyone's favorite game show.



Kenan Thompson as host, Darnell Hayes, enthused prior to starting the game:

"This might be the blackest 'Black Jeopardy' yet!"

Categories included "Grown Ass," "Fid'Na," "Aw Hell Naw," "Girl Bye," "I Ain't Got It," and "White People."

Unfortunately, our visitor from Wakanda did not fare so well in the competition. When Hayes read the question from the "Fid'Na" category: "This is the reason your cable bill is in your grandmama's name," T'Challa, in his dignified Wakandan accent, replied:

"What is, to honor her as the foundation of the family."

A bewildered Hayes responded:

"Hmm ... That's really nice. It's wrong, but it's really nice. Anybody else?"

Shanice, played by Leslie Jones, took a stab at it and delivered the correct response:

"What is 'cause, I'm fid'na get a car and I don't need all that on my credit."



There was a sliver of hope for the superhero, however, when Hayes read the next answer:

"You send your smart-ass child here 'cause she thinks she grown."

T'Challa replied:

"What is, to one of our free universities where she could apply her intelligence and perhaps one day become a great scientist."

Appearing on the verge of imploding, Hayes replied:

"Okay, well, the answer we was looking for was 'out my damn house.'"

But he gave the points to the Wakandan leader anyway.



Next, Hayes read from the "Aw Hell Naw" category, but things didn't bode well for T'Challa this time, though his participation in the game was still a commendable effort.

"The policeman says there's been some robberies in your neighborhood and asks if you have any information," read Hayes.

T'Chall answered, "Not only do I tell this man what I know, but I also assist him in tracking down the offender. After all, our ministers of law and justice are only here to protect us. Is this correct?"

Nice try, however, Hayes did offer:

"I mean, it should be. But I don't think you've spent much time in America."

Viewers laughed at home and in the studio.

And some swooned.


Those prizes, by the way, were quite winners. They included ridiculous items like, "Uesta Hold Margarine – plastic containers that uesta hold margarine," and "Well Done Steaks – If I see a speck of red it's going back."





Last but not least was "Sprite – How did we become the black soda?"



Though T'Challa didn't exactly nail the competition, we're perfectly content with the fearless leader slaying it while fighting for justice.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
