    Remember When King T’Challa Was on Black Jeopardy?

    Mary Anne ButlerBy

    While we’re all struggling to come to terms with the sudden passing of actor Chadwick Boseman, we’re very thankful to have so many wonderful performances to revisit when we miss him.

    Like his turn as Jackie Robinson in “42,” James Brown in “Get On Up,” Thurgood Marshall in “Marshall,” and the groundbreaking superhero performance of T’Challa in Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther.”

    This brings us to a memory of Boseman’s appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” when he showed up on sketch “Black Jeopardy” as King T’Challa.

    Sure, it’s not one of the incredible historical performances, but it sure is entertaining.
