During the skit, Doug, who first appeared on the late-night comedy show in 2016, refused to shake hands with the game show’s host, Darnell Hayes, portrayed by SNL cast member Kenan Thompson.

As Hayes approached the contestant saying he would like to shake his hand, Doug immediately backs up with his hands up, saying, “No, no, don’t like that, woah, woah, woah.”

Doug, speaking with a Southern accent, agrees to shake Hayes’ hand after the host tells him “it’s just a handshake.”

“Maybe I’ll start a show for you to come and we’ll call it ‘White Jeopardy,” Doug said.

“We don’t need it. We don’t need it,” Hayes replies.
