00:01From the Alex Rebeck stage at Sony Picture Studios, this is Jeopardy!
00:14Today's contestants are a priest from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Jordan Haney Ware,
00:21a journalist and podcaster from Mill Valley, California, Jason Snell,
00:27and our returning champion, a bureaucrat and law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey,
00:33J.B. Ding, whose four-day cash winnings total $106,601.
00:42And now, here is the host of Jeopardy, Ken Jennings.
00:49Thank you, folks. Thank you, Johnny Gilbert, and welcome to Jeopardy!
00:53Despite another strong performance in yesterday's game, our champion, Jamie Ding,
00:57for the first time in his run, did not have the game put away at the end of Double Jeopardy
01:01and needed things to break his way in final.
01:03Thankfully for him, they did. He was the only player with a correct response,
01:06and he's back today going for win number five,
01:09a milestone that no other player has achieved this season apart from 14-game winner Harrison Whitaker.
01:14So Jamie could guarantee himself a spot in the tournament of champions with a win today,
01:18but Jason and Jordan are here hoping to put a stop to his winning ways.
01:21Good luck, players. Let's see what happens as we enter the Jeopardy! round

05:22Jordan Haney Ware from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada is a priest,
05:25and this is a new one in my experience, Jordan, a priest who likes to play?
05:29Dungeons and Dragons.
05:30Wow.
05:31Are there a lot of D&D playing priests or clerics out there?
05:33There are, but I don't play a cleric whenever I play.
05:36I usually play a rogue or a fighter, sometimes a monk.
05:39If you're a priest, is it okay to be a rogue?
05:42Absolutely.
05:43It's your imagination.
05:44That's it.
05:44And, you know, a thing I really love about D&D is that it's characters coming together,
05:49collaborating on a quest rather than a competitive game like maybe this one.
05:53And so I actually wrote a book about the Christian life as a tabletop role-playing game.
05:58I love that.
05:59Also with us today, Jason Snell, a journalist and a podcaster from Mill Valley, California.
06:03And it must have been, as a journalist, that you had a very rare honor.
06:06You were one of the first people to do what?
06:08To see an iPhone and touch an iPhone.
06:11I worked at a tech magazine, and I got a briefing from Apple executives the day after the iPhone
06:16was announced, six months before anybody could get their hands on it in a store.
06:19And I'm supposed to ask probing questions about this new product.
06:23And honestly, my mind goes blank.
06:25I'm supposed to be asking questions, and I'm just looking at this thing and holding it in
06:29my hand, and it's warm, and it's high resolution.
06:31And it was the worst interview I've ever done.
06:36But I did get to lord it over people for six months that I had touched an iPhone.
06:39So you were an immediate convert.
06:40You could tell right away.
06:41It was amazing, yeah.
06:42So distracting, you couldn't even be a journalist.
06:44Yeah, I love it.
06:45Our champion is Jamie Ding, a bureaucrat and a law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey.

06:51Is that right?
06:52My father is a professor of neuroscience at Wayne State University.
06:55And my mother, she was a math teacher.
06:58But then last year, she began her well-deserved retirement.
07:02And is that a big part of your Jeopardy! success, having such bright parents?
07:05I think so, because, I mean, they've always been tremendously supportive and always supported
07:09me in my love of learning.
07:11And they're really the best.
07:13They're supporting you here today, am I right?

18:1830 seconds.
18:19Good luck.
18:49Three strong players today.
18:50Even third place has $10,000.
18:52That's Jason Snell.
18:53In final, he came up with who is Hayden, and I'm afraid it's not Hayden.
18:58You wagered 6,400.
18:59That'll leave you with 3,600, Jason.
19:01Jordan Haney Ware was in second place with 12,600.
19:04Her response?
19:06Didn't get one.
19:07She wagered 8,401.
19:10That'll drop her down to 4,199.
19:12No saving throw, I'm afraid, Jordan.
19:14Jamie Ding in the lead with 20,800.
19:16Is he correct in final?
19:17Who was Brahms?
19:19Yes.
19:19For a baby boy, he wrote a lullaby.
19:21It was Brahms.
19:22You figured it out.
19:23You will add 4,401, taking you to $25,201.
19:27You survived another scare, Jamie.
19:29And now a five-day Jeopardy! champion with a total of $131,802.
19:35We'll be seeing Jamie in the tournament champions, but he gets to keep playing.
19:38He'll be back tomorrow.
19:39Join us then.
19:58You
