00:52It's great to have you all here playing our game.
00:55The three of you will be answering questions in our six iconic Trivial Pursuit categories,
01:00which, of course, are entertainment, geography, sports and leisure,
01:05science and nature, history and art and literature.
01:09Correct answers players are worth 100 points and a wedge.
01:13And if you collect a wedge from all six categories, you will earn $1,000 for filling your wheel.
01:20The two players with the most points at the end will be moving on to the next round.
01:25Everybody ready? Oh, yeah.
01:26Sure am.
01:27Let the pursuit begin.
01:32To start things off, players, we have selected the first category, art and literature.
01:38What popular trilogy from Suzanne Collins features characters like Effie Trinket and Seneca Crane?
01:45Kelly.
01:46That would be The Hunger Games, LaVar.
01:48That would be correct, Kelly. You're in control of the board. Please select.
01:51I'll take sports and leisure.
01:53What Japanese-born slugger is the only player in Major League Baseball history to win multiple MVP awards by unanimous vote?
02:04Rick.
02:05Shohei Otani.
02:06Shohei Otani won twice. That's correct.
02:08You, Rick, are now in control. Please select.
02:11I will take yellow history.
02:13In 1992, which U.S. Vice President told a spelling bee contestant that potato was spelled with an E?
02:24Kelly.
02:25That would be Dan Quayle.
02:26Correct. You're in control, Kelly. Please select.
02:29Let's go with entertainment, LaVar.
02:32In 1991, what Oscar-nominated actor asked us to feel the vibration on a number one hit song?
02:41Kelly.
02:42That would be Marky Mark or Mark Wahlberg.
02:44Mark Wahlberg on the song Good Vibrations. Well done. You're still in control, Kelly. Please select.
02:49Let's go science and nature, please.
02:52What 2016 film told the true story of black female mathematicians at NASA who helped the space program lift off?

03:04Hidden Figures is correct.
03:05Here is the final category, this time through the board players, geography.
03:10John and Elizabeth Proctor were among those notably accused of witchcraft in what Massachusetts town?
03:18Kelly.
03:19That would be Salem, Massachusetts.
03:20Correct.
03:21We have a pretty good game.
03:23Michelle, you have zero points, however, so we need to get you going.
03:27We're going to reload our six categories and see how many more points and wedges y'all can earn.
03:34Kelly, you got the last question correct, so you get to choose our next category.
03:38Let's go with science and nature, please.
03:40What acronym describes the gear worn by divers to explore underwater environments for extended periods?
03:48Kelly.
03:49Scuba.
03:50Self-contained underwater breathing apparatus, that's correct.
03:53Kelly, with that correct answer, you are one wedge away from filling your wheel and winning a $1,000 bonus.
04:01So let me ask you, where do you want to go?
04:04I think I'm going to go with sports and leisure.
04:07Also the name of a popular alcohol brand.
04:10What is the term for a stamp or label on furniture that identifies its origin?
04:19Maker's Mark.
04:20Oh.
04:21Maker's Mark.
04:22Right, right.
04:23Kelly, still in control.
04:24All right, let's go art and literature.
04:26What Pineapple Express star creates ceramic ashtrays for his cannabis company houseplant?
04:34Michelle.
04:35Seth Rogen.
04:36Correct.
04:37Michelle, it's good to see you on the board with a hundred points and a wedge.
04:40You are in control.
04:41Please select.
04:42Let's go pink.
04:43Entertainment.
04:45What 1970s miniseries dramatized several generations of author Alex Haley's family?
04:52Rick.
04:53Roots.
04:54Roots.
04:55Roots is correct.
04:56Had you gotten that wrong, I'd have been very disappointed in your attention.
04:59I bet.
05:00Rick.
05:01I will take yellow history.
05:02Since 2006, what billionaire has been the CEO of America's largest bank, JPMorgan Chase?
05:15Jamie Dimon.
05:16Jamie Dimon.
05:17Here is the final category this second time through the board players.
05:21Geography.
05:22South Africa's Cape Agoulas is the dividing point between the Atlantic and which other ocean?
05:30Michelle.
05:31The Indian Ocean.
05:32Correct.
05:33Michelle, it's good to see you on the board.
05:35Rick, you are just ahead of her by a hundred points with 300 and Kelly with 500 points.
05:40So we're going to reload the categories one last time.
05:45And remember, this is your last chance, players, to earn points and wedges.
05:49Michelle, you are in control.
05:51What category would you like to select?
05:53I'll go to my favorite, pink for entertainment.
05:56What is the name of the AI villain at the center of Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning?
06:01Michelle.
06:02Oh, I think it is the entity or agent.
06:08Entity.
06:09The entity is correct.
06:11Please select another category, Michelle.
06:13Art and literature, purple.
06:16What unconventional punctuation mark combines a question mark and an exclamation point?
06:23Oh.
06:25Rick.
06:26Interrobang.
06:27Interrobang is correct.
06:29Well done, sir.
06:30Rick, you're in control.
06:31Please select.
06:32Okay, let's do blue geography.
06:35Coined by Auguste Spektorski, what term describes a lower density area beyond the suburbs?
06:44Michelle.
06:45The ex-burbs?
06:46Correct.
06:47Michelle, you are in control.
06:48All right, let's do science and nature green, please.
06:53Here's the question, players.
06:54The Taurus and Little Fatty are among the instruments from what influential synthesizer brand?
07:01Rick.
07:02Moog.
07:03Moog is it.
07:04Two categories remaining players, and they are sports and leisure and history.
07:09I'll take yellow history.
07:11Who was the second and final person President Obama successfully nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court?
07:17Rick.
07:18Kagan?
07:19Correct.
07:20And here is the final question this last time through the board players.
07:26Sports and leisure.
07:27In the card game Uno, the four different color suits are numbered from zero to what number?
07:35Kelly.
07:36Nine.
07:37Nine is the number.
07:38Yes!
07:39And that sound, players, means that, Kelly, you have filled your wheel and will go home with $1,000.
07:51Congratulations.
07:52Moving on will be Kelly and Rick with 600 points apiece.
07:57Michelle, it was great having you play with us tonight.
08:00Thank you for being here.
08:02Coming up next, the pursuit continues as Kelly and Rick go head to head for the chance to move on to play for $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
08:13Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
08:26Kelly and Rick have made it here to the next round, so let's get to know them a little bit better.
08:31Kelly, returning champion.
08:33Not easy to make it back here.
08:35It's not, but it feels great to be back here, LaVar.
08:38It's great to have you back.
08:40Rick, you're a high school teacher.
08:42That's right, LaVar.
08:43I'm a high school English teacher and a huge fan of you and Star Trek.
08:47I've managed to incorporate Star Trek into my classroom.
08:50One of the books we teach is George Takei's memoir, They Called Us Enemy.
08:54And so now in the hallways, my students greet me with the Vulcan salute.
08:57It could be worse.
08:58It could be much worse.
08:59They could salute you with another hand sign.
09:01I've gotten that one too.
09:04All right, the best of luck to both of you.
09:07In this round, we're going to be answering multiple choice questions,
09:11working your way through the categories once again.
09:13But this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
09:20Now, you both selected the order of categories that you'll be playing,
09:24and you picked one category that you don't want to play.
09:28Kelly, I see that you elected not to play history.
09:32And like the last game, you have selected entertainment as your 1,000 point question.
09:38If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
09:40Okay. I hope that strategy pays off.
09:42Me too.
09:43And Rick, I see that you've opted to skip entertainment.
09:47And you have chosen art and literature as your 1,000 point question.
09:52There is a lot of current pop culture and entertainment out there to keep up on.
09:57And I'm an English teacher, so literature is my wheelhouse.
10:00Thought I'd put it in the high value.
10:01Makes absolute sense.
10:03All right.
10:04Whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round,
10:07we'll move on to play for $20,000.
10:11Y'all ready?
10:12I'm ready.
10:13Bring it on.
10:14All right.
10:15Let the pursuit begin.
10:20You guys are all tied up.
10:22Rick, you're going to be going first since Kelly filled her wheel.
10:26For 200 points, here is your multiple choice question in sports and leisure, Rick.
10:32What is Tiger Woods' actual first name?
10:37Cedric, Eldrick, or Rodrick?
10:41Well, I remember hearing that he got the nickname Tiger from, I think,
10:45one of his father's war buddies.
10:48But I know that his real first name is Eldrick.
10:52So I'm going to lock in Eldrick.
10:54Let's see if you're right.
10:57His full name, Eldrick Taunt Woods.
11:00Okay, Kelly.
11:01For 200 points, here is your multiple choice question in sports and leisure.
11:06Which type of hat is worn by Smokey the Bear?
11:11Bucket, campaign, or fedora?
11:16Well, I know what a bucket hat looks like because I've worn those.
11:20It's the only hat that fits my head.
11:21And I'm pretty sure Smokey the Bear does not wear a bucket hat.
11:24And a fedora is a little hat, and I don't even know what a campaign hat is.
11:28So, because I don't know what a campaign hat is, I'm going fedora.
11:39Let's see if you're right.
11:43He wears a campaign hat.
11:45Hmm.
11:46It's okay.
11:47Coming to you, Rick, for your 400-point question in the category Science and Nature.
11:54Due to its dense atmosphere, which is the hottest planet in our solar system?
12:00Mars, Mercury, or Venus?
12:04So, Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, so it would make sense that that was the hottest planet.
12:13But Venus has a very thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, which holds in all that heat.
12:20So, I'm going to lock in Venus.
12:23Rick, let's see if you're right.
12:25A high school teacher knows more than just English.
12:30Kelly, he's 600 points ahead of you.
12:33Yeah.
12:34Here is your 400-point question in the category Geography.
12:38Which of these Nordic capitals is furthest east?
12:42Copenhagen, Oslo, or Stockholm?
12:46Cool.
12:47Okay, well, I'm happy to say I know it's not Oslo, because one, I was just there, and two,
12:51I know it's not the furthest east.
12:52So, I know it's not Oslo.
12:54Stockholm is Sweden.
12:57Copenhagen is Denmark.
13:02I feel like Stockholm is furthest east.
13:05I'm going to say Stockholm.
13:07Kelly, let's see if you're right.
13:10Oh, thank God.
13:11Stockholm it is.
13:12Great deductive reasoning.
13:14Well done.
13:15Rick, you're 200 points ahead of Kelly.
13:18Here is your 600-point question in the category Geography.
13:23Established in 1872, which was the United States' first national park?
13:29Was it Shenandoah, Yellowstone, or Yosemite?
13:36When I saw the question, there were two options that popped into my head.
13:42And unfortunately for me, they're both up there.
13:46And it was Yellowstone or Yosemite.
13:48I am going to go with Yosemite as my answer.
13:53Let's see if you're right.
13:54Ooh.
13:55Here we go, champ.
13:58Here's an opportunity for you to surge ahead.
14:02Your 600-point question in the category Science and Nature.
14:07Which autonomous driving technology company was formerly known as Google Self-Driving Car Project?
14:14Cruise, Waymo, or Zoox?
14:19Oh, I don't like any of these answers.
14:22I also would never want to be in a self-driving car.
14:25Oh, gosh.
14:27The last two are just weird.
14:28And Zoox sounds really made up, so I don't think it's that one.
14:32And Waymo just sounds lame-o.
14:34So I'm going to go Cruise.
14:37Cruise sounds like a good answer.
14:38That's my final answer.
14:39Cruise.
14:41Let's see if you're right.
14:44It was Waymo.
14:46All right.
14:47So, Rick, still 200 points ahead.
14:50Next category is History for 800 points.
14:54What was the name given to the female U.S. Army Signal Corps switchboard operators?
15:00Chatty Cathy's, Hello Girls, or Polly Plugs?
15:05Oh, boy.
15:07None of these are really jumping out at me.
15:10I mean, I've heard of a Chatty Cathy before, but it doesn't sound like something that I would associate with military switchboard operators.
15:18Hello Girls, I don't, something that doesn't feel right to me either.
15:27I'm going to go with Polly Plugs as my answer.
15:32All right, Rick.
15:34Let's see if you're right.
15:37Mmm, it was indeed Hello Girls.
15:41Big opportunity right here for you, Kelly.
15:43Yeah.
15:44200 points separates you. Here is your 800-point question.
15:50Art and literature.
15:53Which H.G. Wells story features the humanoid races, the Eloi, and the Morlocks?
16:00Would that be The Invisible Man, The Island of Dr. Moreau, or The Time Machine?
16:05Well, this is actually one of my favorite movies.
16:08Um, I tried teaching the book once, didn't go over too well, but the answer is The Time Machine.
16:13No doubt whatsoever.
16:16Rod Taylor at his finest.
16:19All right, Rick, you need this, or else Kelly will win and move on to the final pursuit to play for the $20,000.
16:26For the English teacher, here is your 1,000-point question.
16:32In art and literature, what 1789 William Hill Brown book is widely considered to be the first American novel?
16:44Is it Charlotte Temple, The Power of Sympathy, or Uncle Tom's Cabin?
16:51Okay.
16:54The only one I can eliminate right off the bat is Uncle Tom's Cabin.
16:58That's much later and not written by William Hill Brown.
17:03I am just gonna, I mean, flip a coin, take a guess, and say Charlotte Temple as my answer.
17:11Let's see if you're right.
17:12The Power of Sympathy, which means, Kelly, congratulations, you are going back to play for the $20,000.
17:23Rick, you've played a strong game, brother.
17:26Live long and prosper.
17:27Thank you, Lamar.
17:28Kelly, join me over here, won't you?
17:30I'd be happy to.
17:31When we come back, we'll see if Kelly can conquer all six categories in The Final Pursuit for $20,000 right here on Trivues.
17:43Welcome back, y'all. I'm here with Kelly, who outplayed her opponents and has made it back here to The Final Pursuit for another chance to win $20,000.
18:05Well, Kelly, what have you learned from playing the game before?
18:08Um, just to trust myself and rely on all of that knowledge that I've got tucked up in there somewhere.
18:15It's up there somewhere.
18:16It's up there somewhere.
18:17You just have to access it.
18:18That's right.
18:19All that stands between you and $20,000 are our six Trivial Pursuit categories, but this time, Kelly, you will have to play all six, okay?
18:29You will have 45 seconds. You'll earn $1,000 for each correct answer. And if you answer six questions correctly within the 45 seconds, you will win $20,000.
18:43That sounds awesome.
18:44Okay. Kelly, to help you on your pursuit, I want you to go ahead and pick the first category that you want to play.
18:51I'd like to start with entertainment.
18:53If you get any incorrect, we can circle back to those categories provided there's time left on the clock, okay?
18:59I'm ready. Let's do it.
19:00Time for your final pursuit.
19:02Let's do it.
19:03Let's put 45 seconds on the clock, y'all.

28:09Thanks.
28:10Coming up next, the pursuit continues as Liz and Kelly go head-to-head for the chance to move on and play for $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
28:31Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit. Liz and Kelly have made it here to the next round, so let's get to know them a little bit better.
28:38Kelly?
28:39Hello again.
28:40Are you having fun or is it just stress and pressure?
28:43Yeah, I am absolutely having a blast. It is awesome to be here and to share my love of trivia with so many awesome people.
28:50We're happy that you're here too. Liz, you are a boutique owner. What might I buy at your boutique?
28:56Anything related to beauty, so skincare, fragrance, body care, makeup, all the things, because, you know, everybody likes to feel good about themselves and I like to help them.
29:05I'm in. I'm coming. I'm spending money.
29:07Perfect. Any day, the door is open.
29:10All right, the best of luck to both of you. Let's get back to the game.
29:13Now, in this round, you're going to be answering multiple choice questions, working your way through the categories once again.
29:21But this time, ladies, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points. Now, you both selected the order and you picked one category that you didn't want to play at all.
29:36Liz, I see that you have elected not to play science and nature and you've selected history as your 1,000 point question.
29:43Yes.
29:44What's going on there?
29:45History, I love. I love it. I love knowing so much about the past because it really informs who we are today.
29:51Well said. Kelly, for the third time, you have chosen the exact same path. What up?
30:00It's my third time here, so why change what's worked for me already? And I'm really bad at history.
30:05Good reasons both. All right, ladies, whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round, we'll move on to play for $20,000. Are you both ready?
30:15Sure am. Let the pursuit begin.
30:22Kelly, our returning champion, is trailing by 200 points, so you'll be going first. For 200 points, Kelly, here is your multiple choice question in sports and leisure.
30:34Shaquille O'Neal played his final NBA game while a member of which franchise? Was it the Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, or the Miami Heat?
30:46Okay. Well, I know that Shaquille O'Neal is very tall. That's about all I know about him. I'm, like, really sure he didn't play for the Boston Celtics.
30:56So I'm torn between the Cavaliers and the Miami Heat.
30:59You know, I think I am going to say the Miami Heat. That just feels like who he would have played for.
31:05Kelly, let's see if you're right.
31:07Okay.
31:08It was the Boston Celtics.
31:10Really?
31:11He played for the Heat, but he finished with the Celtics.
31:14All right.
31:15Liz, 200 points here in your multiple choice question in art and literature.
31:21Angelina Jolie played what opera soprano nicknamed La Divina in a 2024 Netflix biopic?
31:30Was that Maria Callas, Renata Tabaldi, or Teresa Berganza?
31:36So I did not see this biopic, but I do remember reading about it.
31:43I believe La Divina is Maria Callas, the great Greek soprano.
31:48So Maria Callas is my final answer.
31:50Okay, Liz. Let's see if you're right.
31:54Maria Callas is right, and you have extended your lead, Liz.
31:58Kelly?
31:59I can come back. I got this.
32:00You got your work cut out for you.
32:01That's right. I get this. We're tied.
32:03Your category is geography for 400 points.
32:07El Dorado International Airport, named after a mythical city of gold,
32:12is located in which South American country? Would it be Colombia, Paraguay, or Venezuela?
32:21Oh, man. I don't like any of these answers. Just because all of them sound not right, I'm just going to pick Colombia.
32:29I'm going to pick Colombia, LaVar.
32:30All right, Kelly. Let's see if you're right.
32:33Okay.
32:34Yay!
32:35You have tied it up, Kelly.
32:37Coming for you, Liz.
32:38Pressure is on.
32:39Neck and neck, head to head.
32:42Here is your question for 400 points in the category of sports and leisure, Liz.
32:49Which company became the official outfitting partner of the UFC in 2021? Cage Side, Tap Out, or Venom?
33:01Ooh, UFC. Not my thing. Now, I'm familiar with Tap Out. I've seen that before. I've never heard of Cage Side or Venom,
33:11but it feels like UFC would totally partner with a company called Venom, spelled that way. So my final answer is Venom.
33:23Liz, let's see if you're right.
33:25Hi.
33:26Indeed, you are right. Kelly, you got to keep pace here. Here is your 600-point question, the category Science and Nature.
33:36Located in Sequoia National Park, the world's largest tree was named after whom? Was that General Grant, General MacArthur, or General Sherman?
33:50Hmm. General Grant, MacArthur, or Sherman? Well, they're all generals. Not sure which general the tree was named after for.
34:00But I feel like, I don't know, General Sherman is just talking to me. So I'm going to go General Sherman.
34:09All right, Kelly, let's see if you're right.
34:12Ah!
34:13You heard what the general was saying.
34:15I sure did.
34:16Liz, coming to you now. Here is your 600-point question in the category of geography.
34:23Which is the only state to have a non-rectangular flag? Would that be Idaho, Ohio, or Vermont?
34:34Well, I used to live in this state, and I went to university in this state, so I know that it is Ohio. Final answer.
34:42O-H?
34:43Oh, no. I did not go to Ohio State.
34:46I'm sorry. Okay. Your answer is Ohio, and you're sure about this?
34:56I am positive.
34:57All right, Liz.
35:00Back in the lead, Liz and Kelly. You know what you have to do.
35:03That's right. I gotta get them right.
35:05All right. Here is your 800-point question, art and literature.
35:09How many lines are in a sonnet? Seven, 14, or 21?
35:17I have to know this. I know a sonnet's not 21 lines, so I'm gonna take that one out.
35:24I'm gonna say a sonnet is 14 lines. I know there's Elizabethan sonnets, and I know that there's the other kind that I can't think of right now.
35:31But I'm, like, really pretty sure that there are 14 lines in a sonnet. Please be right. I'm saying 14, LaVar.
35:37Pretty sure it's 14 lines.
35:39Yeah. Please be right.
35:41Kelly, let's see if you're right.
35:4614 lines in a sonnet. The champ is keeping the pressure on you, Liz.
35:50She sure is.
35:51She sure is. Okay.
35:54Here is your 800-point question in entertainment.
35:58In 2025, which leading man earned his second Best Actor Oscar nomination for his role in Sing Sing?
36:06Was that Coleman Domingo, John David Washington, or Trevante Rhodes?
36:13Ooh. I am not sure. This one is stumping me.
36:19See, I don't think it's Trevante Rhodes.
36:24I think it is Coleman Domingo. That sounds familiar. I'm leaning that way. So I am going to say Coleman Domingo, final answer.
36:34Let's see if you're right.
36:37Coleman Domingo. He was nominated in back-to-back years 24 and 25.
36:43Kelly, if you do not get this correct, Liz will win and move on to the final pursuit.
36:51This is your 1,000-point question. The category, entertainment.
36:56What hit song from Destiny's Child sampled Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks, who also appeared in the music video?
37:06Was it Bootylicious, Jumpin' Jumpin', or Lose My Breath?
37:12Well, I feel like just because I want to say it, I'm going to say that it's Bootylicious.
37:19I don't know if that's the answer, but I want to say Bootylicious. That's it, LeVar. Bootylicious.
37:23Say it one more time. Bootylicious.
37:25All right. To stay in the game, Kelly, let's see if you're right.
37:29Oh! Say it with me.
37:32Bootylicious!
37:36All right, Liz.
37:38This is for the win, so you need this to move on to the final round.
37:42If not, Kelly's heading back there for the third time in a row.
37:48Here, Liz, is your 1,000-point question in the category of history.
37:55In which year did Apple release the first iPhone?
38:00Was it 2004, 2007, or 2010?
38:09This is really tough.
38:13I feel like I read this not that long ago.
38:20I am going to say 2007.
38:27To dethrone the champ, let's see if you're right.
38:34Oh!
38:36Congratulations, Liz.
38:37You are moving on to play for the $20,000.
38:41Kelly, you are a marvelous player.
38:44It was so great having you.
38:46And you're going home with $9,000.
38:50Liz, join me over here, will you?
38:54When we come back, we'll see if Liz can conquer all six categories in the final pursuit for $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
39:05Welcome back, y'all.

39:24You ever won $20,000 before?
39:26Not any time recently, no.
39:28Me either.
39:29But it sure sounds delicious, doesn't it?
39:30It sure does.
39:31Okay.
39:32So all that stands between you and $20,000 are our six Trivial Pursuit categories.
39:37This time, you will have to play all six.
39:42Okay.
39:43You will have 45 seconds and will earn $1,000 for each correct answer.
39:48And if you answer six questions correctly, you will win $20,000.
39:54How does that sound?
39:56That sounds fantastic.
39:58It sure does.
39:59To help you with your pursuit, pick the first category that you want to play.
40:04I think I'm going to start with geography.
40:06All right.
40:07Liz, if you get any incorrect, you can always circle back to those categories provided there's
40:12time on the clock.
40:13All right?
40:14It's time for your final pursuit.
40:16Let's get at it.
