00:01From the Alex Rebeck stage at Sony Pictures Studios, this is Jeopardy!
00:14Introducing today's contestants, an immersive theater director originally from Ithaca, New York, David Laid.
00:22A student originally from Rockford, Illinois, Tinesio Morales.
00:27And our returning champion, a bureaucrat and law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, Jamie Ding, whose five-day cash winnings
00:37totaled $131,802.
00:42And now, here is the host of Jeopardy, Ken Jennings.
00:49Thank you, Johnny. Welcome to Jeopardy!
00:52For the second straight game, it was not a runaway yesterday for our champion, Jamie Ding, heading into Final Jeopardy!
00:57But once again, for the second straight day, Jamie had the only correct response in Final Jeopardy!
01:02He survived with the win and is now a five-game champion headed to the Tournament of Champions.
01:07It's been a great week for Jamie, and I'm sure he'd like to end it on a high, but so
01:11would his challenger, Sinesio and David.
01:12So good luck to all three of you. Let's see what categories await you three in the Jeopardy! round.
01:18We have up first, win some, lose some.
01:21Then, getting dressed with Emily Post.
01:25Up to snuff. These responses are almost up to the word snuff in the dictionary.
01:30Then we have 2020's TV, Roman letters, and Greek numerals.
01:37A little switcheroo. Jamie?
01:39Greek numerals for 800.
01:41Getting into educational real estate around 387 B.C., he bought some land and started a school that would last
01:47until 529 A.D.
01:49Sinesio?
01:50Who is Aristotle?
01:51No.
01:52Jamie?
01:53Who's Plato?
01:53Plato is right.
01:54Getting dressed with Emily Post for 1,000.
01:57Emily defines this type of attire, often prescribed for holiday parties, as essentially cocktail party dress, but with a seasonal
02:03touch.
02:08That's when the invite says, festive attire.
02:10Jamie?
02:11Up to snuff for 600.
02:13It's a Britishism for to kiss, or really more like to neck.
02:17Jamie?
02:18A snog?
02:18Correct.
02:19Roman letters for 800.
02:21Mom and Dad, you can't miss Cosmodine Church and the Boca de la Verita, which translates to this.

03:02Over to Winsome Lusome.
03:04From 1930 to 1987, you could win, but mostly lose, playing the horse racing-based lottery called the Irish Bees.
03:14Those were the Irish sweepstakes.
03:17David?
03:17Winsome 6.
03:19The 0 and 00 pockets in this casino game give the house an edge.
03:23So, though you may win for a while, you'll likely lose in the end.
03:27Sinesio?
03:27What is roulette?
03:28Right.
03:29Up to snuff for 800.

05:03Yes, Plutarch is correct in the nick of time, taking you to 1,400, David.
05:07Jamie's in the lead midway through the round.
05:09We need to take a quick break, but we will come right back with more Jeff.
05:13David Lay is an immersive theater director, and David, I understand that job is taking
05:17you pretty far afield from your native Ithaca, New York.
05:20Where have you worked?
05:21It has.
05:21I've been a lot of places.
05:23I spent four years in Dubai, actually.
05:26I was tapped to go over there and launch a luxury nightclub that centered around a stage
05:33variety show, which I directed and did some other productions while I was there, and yeah,
05:37racked up four years over there.
05:38Do they love immersive theater now in Dubai, thanks to your hard work?
05:41They do.
05:41There is a little bit of a market there for it still.
05:44Well done.
05:44Congratulations.
05:45Thanks a lot.
05:46Senesio Morales is here, originally from Rockford, Illinois.
05:48You're a student, and in your spare time, you and your cousins run a non-profit.
05:53Tell me about it.
05:53I grew up in church with my cousins and a few other youth in the church, and we decided
05:57to start a sort of non-profit ministry that was meant to be, like, for youth, by youth,
06:02and I still kind of help run that from school, and so we've done, like, toy drives for Christmas,
06:07school supply drives, and right now we're doing a college readiness program.
06:10I love that.
06:10Even a busy student, you've got time to give back.
06:13Well done.
06:13Our returning champion is Jamie Ding of Lawrenceville, New Jersey.
06:16You're a law student, which we understand, but you also wanted to be announced as a bureaucrat.
06:21What kind of a bureaucrat are you?
06:22We don't get a lot of bureaucrats here, Jamie.
06:24I'd like to jokingly say that I'm a faceless bureaucrat, but now that I'm on television,
06:29that's definitely no longer true.
06:31My official title is Multifamily and Tax Credit Program Administrator.
06:36Really rolls off the tongue.
06:37It's a bit of a mouthful.
06:38And you wanted us to announce you as a faceless bureaucrat, but this is better, right?
06:43I guess so.
06:43That's such a great face.
06:44Thank you for being with us, Jamie.

18:37What did you write down in final?
18:39What would a quarterback shout?
18:40What is blue?
18:42I'm afraid it's not blue, Sinesio.
