04:39Jasmine So is an ASIC engineer from Woodland, California.
04:42Welcome back to the Alex Trebek stage.
04:44Jasmine, but I'm told you thought this was not going to happen for you.
04:47Yeah, so I was last here over a year ago,
04:51so it's been a year of, like, I'm probably not going to have to go back,
04:54but what if, and it was just such a roller coaster,
04:56I decided I wanted to celebrate getting off of that roller coaster,
05:00so I best estimated the date by which I'd hear off the rumor mill
05:04that calls might have gone out,
05:06and I ordered a consolation cake for myself.
05:09And then...
05:09You ordered a cake just to celebrate not going on Jeopardy.
05:12Yes, because this has been such a tense year.
05:15And how was the cake?
05:16Cake was delicious.
05:17And then shortly after?
05:18Actually, before, same day.
05:20Oh, same day.
05:21I was planning to pick it up.
05:22I get the call.
05:23Now it's a celebratory cake.
05:24Yes, it was a celebratory cake.
05:26That's the best kind of cake.
05:27Well done, Jasmine.
05:28Guy Branham is back with us,
05:29a writer and comedian from West Hollywood, California.
05:32And you have been on the Jeopardy set, sir,
05:33in another capacity, because you...
05:36Yes, I have a small role on a show on Apple called Platonic,
05:39and they said that we were going to have a plot line this year
05:42where one of the characters comes on Jeopardy,
05:44fails miserably, and it destroys his life.
05:46And I was in the contestant pool,
05:48and so when I came to shoot, I was like,
05:50should I have them write me off
05:51so that I don't ruin my chances here?
05:53And when I walked in,
05:54you very kindly came over to shake my hand,
05:56and I screamed,
05:57I'm in the contestant pool, no fraternization.
06:00And then Sarah made everything okay.
06:02She, like, stepped in and made everything all right.
06:04It was okay.
06:05I am used to that response
06:06when I try to shake people's hands.
06:08I'm accustomed to rejection.
06:09But welcome back.
06:10Good to be back.
06:11Rachel Gray is a grad student
06:12from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio,
06:14who was very excited
06:15about getting the call to be on Jeopardy
06:17the first time, yes?
06:18Yes, and actually,
06:19my friends were so excited
06:21that when I told them I'd be coming on,
06:23they reacted so loudly
06:25that their downstairs neighbor
06:26did the, like, broom-on-the-ceiling
06:27calm-down thing.
06:29Like in the Honeymooners or something.
06:30Exactly, exactly like that.
06:32So when I told them I was coming back,
06:33I had to say,
06:34okay, I need you to brace yourselves first.
06:35I can't, you can't get evicted over this,
06:37but I'm going to tell you.
06:39Now you know how to do it,
06:40how to settle down with friends
06:41for the good Jeopardy news.
