THE TREBEK AFFIRMATION SOUNDBOARD For those distressing moments in life when you could use an audible nudge of encouragement.

That was really satisfying--when it's time to record 'Trebek Affirmation (Hot Club Mix),' this rapper soundboard (previously) may come in handy.

This is wonderful. I think my favorite one is "Even Wrong is Right" for $1200.

This is great. (Can they also make one with him lightly chiding you for an incorrect answer in a patronizing tone?)

I gotta tell ya, it warms my heart that soundboards are still a thing. Along with Homestar Runner easter eggs, I thought soundboards were yet another casualty of the demise of Flash.

We can't say definitively yes...

Trivia: He doesn't stand behind his lectern. He's seated. The contestants are standing (most of the time), though.

That is delightful. I am delighted.

For those who can't hear, sleeping bear is referring to a clip where Trebek says, in a sort of apologetic tone: "Not a bad guess, but it's 'bananas'." I love it.

And, awwww, creator Rex Sorgatz tweets:

Back in March, Alex Trebek announced he had stage-four pancreatic cancer. Doctors recently told him it was in 'near-remission.' What stupendous news!

His recovery got me thinking about how culturally underappreciated he is. So I started this project in his honor…

man I can't wait to hack the site and replace every clip with Sean Connery being derisive

Oh silly COBRA!, Sean deserves his own dedicated soundboard for being derisive. Don’t be a hack, be a flack!

We can't say definitively yes...

For certain definitions of “pants,” he certainly doesn’t wear them to bed:

“I put on my underwear and ran down the hall...”

fruit sandwich: there is, as I found out thanks to the creator tweeting:

I should also mention there are three easter eggs hidden in the soundboard — hidden spots where clicking will play a secret sound. (Tip: try clicking Trebek!)
