The premise

Here’s the bit.

Darnell Hayes welcomes Shanice, Darius and a version of Tracy Morgan played by Eddie Murphy, standing beside the real Morgan as Darius. A dispute about lasagna gives way to questions about Saturday Night Live, which the contestants struggle to recognize. Chris Rock supplies a guest clue before Tom Hanks returns as Doug with an answer. A handshake and Doug’s idea for a companion game show bring back the round’s cultural misunderstandings.
