The best part was when Trebek gave a very emphatic reading of the lyrics to “Girls Girls Girls” by Mötley Crüe. Some viewers found it [disturbing](https://twitter.com/hernamewas%5Flola/status/562404772767358976), while others are now convinced Trebek [has a real future](https://twitter.com/MJBurroughs/status/562411764328198146) in spoken word albums.
