Black Twitter Flips Over Vintage Photo Of Alex Trebek

The image, which features a young Trebek looking like a Soul Train dancer, quickly became the butt of many jokes - and the object of many users affection. Black Twitter was nearly unanimous in recognizing the smooth-looking young trivia host as an African American man - or, at the very, least, an alter ego of Hall and Oates' John Oates. We've put together a ton of the best responses, but for more you can head over to the Facebook post that catalogued 'em all.
