00:00From the Alex Trebek stage at Sony Picture Studios, this is Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Star!
00:12Introducing tonight's celebrity players.
00:15He's the host of CNN's Have I Got News For You, and author of memoir The Man of Many Fathers.
00:22It's Roy Wood Jr.
00:26You know her from Sex and the City, and Just Like That, and The Gilded Age.
00:32Please welcome Cynthia Nixon.
00:36And he's an actor best known for his role as Kirk on Gilmore Girls, and currently starring as Maxwell Lord
00:45in the DC Comic Universe.
00:48Here's Sean Gunn.
00:51And now, here is your host, Ken Jennings.
00:59Thank you, Johnny Gilbert, and welcome back to Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars.
01:04All-Stars because we've gathered some of our very best players from three primetime seasons past to see who will
01:09emerge as our ultimate champion, earning a $1 million grand prize for charity.
01:14But the first step is making it to the semifinals, and back tonight, hoping to do just that, we have
01:19Sean, Cynthia, and Roy.
01:21You know them, you love them.
01:22Welcome and good luck, players.
01:23Let's see what categories we have for you in the Jeopardy! round.
01:28First up, ooh, that's so 19th century.
01:32Then we have This Is Us, the letters U.S. found somewhere in each response.
01:46And finally, Johnny Gilbert's 90s Lyric Palooza.
01:50That's the 1990s, not Johnny being in his 90s.
01:53You need to name the artist or the band in each case.
01:56Sean, you're up first.
01:57Let's do the Lyric Palooza for 100.
02:00Here's Johnny Gilbert.
02:01Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on.
02:06Once more, you open the door, and my heart will go on and on.
02:12Roy.
02:13What is Celine Dion?
02:14Yes.
02:16Let's go This Is Us for 300.
02:19Fittingly, the Seth Rogen comedy This Is The End was the last ever rental at a company-run one of
02:25these stores.
02:26Roy.
02:26What is a blockbuster video?
02:28Right again.
02:29This Is Us, 200.
02:31Whether green or white, the edible shoots of this vegetable are called spears.
02:36Sean.
02:37What is asparagus?
02:38You got it.
02:39Uh, let's do Lyric Palooza for 200.
02:43Back to Johnny.
02:45Confronted all the dope fiends.
02:46If there was a problem, yo, I'll solve it.
02:49Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it.
02:52Roy.
02:53What is ice, ice, baby?
02:55Vanilla ice.
02:56There we go.
02:56We need the artist.
02:57Whose version do you prefer there, Roy?
02:59Are Johnny's or Vanilla Ice's?
03:02Johnny need to work on his lyrics.
03:05Uh, let's stick with Johnny, 300.
03:08Back to Johnny.
03:10A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly.
03:12No, I don't want no scrub.
03:14A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me.
03:17Roy.
03:18Who is TLC?
03:19Correct.
03:20But Johnny does the definitive version, I feel.
03:24Johnny, 400.
03:27What I got, you got to give it to your mama.
03:29Give it away, give it away, give it away now.
03:32Give it away, give it away, give it away now.
03:35Sean.
03:36Who are the Red Hot Chili Peppers?
03:37That's right.
03:38Uh, let's close Lyric Palooza for 500.
03:40One more time.
03:42The great Johnny Gilbert.
03:43I like big butts and I cannot lie.
03:46You other brothers can't deny
03:48that when a girl walks in with an itty-bitty waist,
03:51you get sprung.
03:53Sean.
03:53Who is Sir Mix-a-Lot?
03:54That's right.
03:56All right.
03:57Very well done, Johnny.
03:59Um, let's go to That's So 19th Century for 300.
04:05After meeting his Waterloo,
04:07Napoleon failed in a plan to head to America
04:09in July 1815 and was exiled to this holy island.
04:13Cynthia.
04:14What is Elba?
04:15No.
04:16Sean or Roy?
04:18Cynthia, you were right about Napoleon
04:20being exiled in Elba,
04:21but after he came back,
04:22he was exiled again in St. Helena.
04:24What is St. Helena?
04:26Back to you, Sean.
04:27Uh, let's do This Is Us for 400.
04:31Uncapitalizing the name of this month
04:33gives you a word meaning grand or majestic.
04:35Cynthia.
04:36What is August?
04:37Yes.
04:38So 19th Century for 400.
04:40Independence, Missouri,
04:42and the Willamette River Valley
04:43were the start and end points
04:45of this emigration route.
04:46We don't have dysentery stats.
04:49Roy.
04:49What is the Oregon Trail?
04:51Yes.
04:52Uh, 19th Century 200.
04:54In 1862, he played Richard III
04:57in New York City,
04:58but three years later broke a leg on stage
05:00in a much more horrifying way.
05:03Cynthia.
05:03Who is John Wilkes Booth?
05:04That's correct.
05:06Uh, That's So 19th Century 500.
05:08Answer there is a daily double, Cynthia.
05:11Cynthia.
05:14Have you become a 19th Century expert recently
05:17through your TV work?
05:18Perhaps.
05:19You can wager up to $500 here.
05:20I would say $500, please.
05:22Okay.
05:22House maximum.
05:23Here's your clue in That's So 19th Century.
05:26Marks your calendars.
05:291848 was the year this pamphlet began ominously with
05:32A Spectre is Haunting Europe.
05:41What is the red, I don't know.
05:44Oh, no.
05:45The Communist Manifesto.
05:47Oh, I, oh, I, yes, okay, thank you.
05:49But you only lose $500, still anybody's game?
05:51Select again.
05:52That's So 19th Century 100.
05:55In 1836, William Travis wrote,
05:57The people of Texas and all Americans in the world
06:00to get some help at this landmark.
06:02Too late.
06:02Sean.
06:03What is the Alamo?
06:04Yeah.
06:04We need the dough 100.
06:07Carraway seeds are added to the dough before kneading
06:09when making this bread, the standard for a Reuben sandwich.
06:13Roy.
06:13What is rye bread?
06:15Yes.
06:16This is us 500?
06:18Are your ears ringing?
06:20Maybe someone's talking about you.
06:22But the more likely culprit is this medical affliction.
06:25Sean.
06:25What is tinnitus?
06:26Yes, tinnitus.
06:27You even said it the fancy way.
06:29Very good.
06:29And you're in the lead right now, Sean.
06:31We need to take a quick break.
06:32But Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars, we'll be right back.
06:43Comedian and writer Roy Wood Jr.,
06:45originally from Birmingham, Alabama.
06:47Mm-hmm.
06:47You were on last season's Celebrity Jeopardy.
06:49Yes.
06:50You did very well.
06:50You made the semifinal.
06:51Yeah.
06:52And then y'all started putting up these categories
06:54that I didn't know nothing about.
06:56You sound like you still have a beef.
06:58Yeah.
06:58Like, y'all had a whole category dedicated to ferns.
07:01And I'm like, that's not even the top three most popular
07:04of the plant.
07:07You think the fern is a deep cut of plants?
07:09Yeah, it's like a deep cut.
07:10It's like there's people that eat candy corn,
07:11but you wouldn't acknowledge them in public.
07:14And I know, like, the Clue team and the producers over there,
07:18like, they probably don't even have ferns,
07:19but then you asking me about a fern.
07:22And I just thought it was a setup.
07:23That's all I'm going to say.
07:24I just thought I was set up,
07:25because y'all know I don't have a fern.
07:27Have you spent some time since then studying up on ferns?
07:30You could have bought a fern.
07:31No, Wynn, you better not have it again today.
07:34I hope not.
07:35But I was cool with the HBCU questions.
07:37My son plays chess.
07:39I was killing it with the chess,
07:40so I need a Lego category today.
07:43Whatever a nine-year-old like, I'm an ace in that.
07:46What charity are you playing for this season?
07:48I'm playing for Birmingham-based nonprofit
07:51iSeeMe Incorporated.
07:53It was founded by a former elementary school teacher
07:54who saw a disparity in her children
07:57in terms of literacy.
07:59And they have studies, Ken, you know,
08:01if you can get children reading early, K-3,
08:04they're less likely to deal with childhood hunger,
08:07less likely to deal with childhood homelessness,
08:09less likely to end up in our criminal justice system.
08:12If we talk about ending crime in this country,
08:14it starts with literacy.
08:15So I support iSeeMe.
08:17Fantastic.
08:17Get the kids reading.
08:18Thank you, Lloyd.
08:21Cynthia Nixon is an actor and director
08:23originally from New York City,
08:25and that's where you and I last ran into each other, right?
08:27We did.
08:28We ran into each other off-Broadway at O'Mary
08:32before it moved to Broadway,
08:34one of the funniest shows ever.
08:36Hilarious.
08:36And I said to you, you know,
08:38we reminisced a little bit,
08:39and I said that I had had such a great time
08:41and that my only dream was to go on again
08:45and never dreaming that it might actually happen,
08:48and here I am.
08:49I thought you were just being polite.
08:50No.
08:51But you should never say that kind of thing to me
08:52because I'll be like,
08:53Cynthia said she'd do it again.
08:55Because you were a little nervous last time.
08:57I was.
08:57I was nervous,
08:58and I, you know,
08:59I was just,
08:59my main fear was just not embarrassing myself last time,
09:03so I determined that I was going to just go
09:06and have a good time.
09:08It's kind of like your wedding.
09:09Do you know what I mean?
09:09Right.
09:10It's like,
09:10you could be as prepared as you want,
09:12but if the whole thing,
09:13you're just nervous the whole time,
09:14you don't enjoy it and look around.
09:16So today is like your second marriage.
09:18It's well.
09:18You have a second chance.
09:20It's like the renewal of vows.
09:22There we go.
09:23That's better put.
09:24The renewal of vows, yeah.
09:25Who are you playing for on Celebrity Jeopardy?
09:27I'm playing for Doctors Without Borders USA,
09:29which is an amazing organization,
09:32and they have been so crucial,
09:34you know,
09:35in Gaza,
09:36in Ukraine,
09:37in the Congo,
09:39and in Sudan,
09:41giving life-saving medical care,
09:43but also,
09:44you know,
09:45combating severe malnutrition,
09:47particularly in children.
09:48And an amazing thing is,
09:50for all the,
09:51how big they are
09:52and how much good they do,
09:5390% of their budget
09:55comes from individual people.
09:57Oh, wow.
09:58Just donating all around the world.
09:59So I'm really happy
10:00to be here today,
10:01you know,
10:02putting a little money
10:03in the bucket for them.
10:04They are heroes,
10:05and so are you.
10:06We're playing for them.
10:07Thank you, Cynthia.
10:10Sean Gunn is originally
10:11from Manchester, Missouri,
10:13an actor,

10:16semi-finalist.
10:17Congratulations.
10:17You've done quite well
10:19on the Alex Trebek stage
10:20in the past.
10:21What's your secret, Sean?
10:22How do you know all that stuff?
10:23When I first started
10:24on Gilmore Girls
10:24about 25 years ago,
10:27I started the habit
10:28of reading
10:28when I was in my,
10:29when I was waiting
10:30in between setups,
10:31in between scenes,
10:32and I would read
10:33The New Yorker
10:33cover to cover
10:34pretty much every single week.
10:36Wow.
10:36And doing that
10:37a long enough time,
10:38you accumulate some knowledge,
10:40and then just in general,
10:41like, being a medium-employed actor
10:43for, like, 30 years,
10:46you get a lot of free time
10:47in between jobs.
10:49I try to educate myself
10:50as much as I can.
10:51I like to learn
10:52particularly trivial things.
10:54I love that you get
10:55The New Yorker,
10:56but unlike many of us,
10:57you actually read it every week.
10:58Exactly.
10:58Well done.
10:59Tell us about your charity, Sean.
11:01I am playing for
11:02Women for Women International,
11:03which is a,
11:04just awesome,
11:05a global non-profit.
11:08They are in 17
11:10conflict-afflicted countries,
11:12and they go there
11:14and help the women there,
11:15giving them resources,
11:17skills, tools
11:19to rebuild their lives
11:22and their families
11:23and the communities
11:24around them
11:25and just sort of
11:26promote gender equality issues
11:28for all of the people
11:30in those areas,
11:31which I think is
11:31one of the most important things
11:33we can do going forward.
11:34That sounds amazing.
11:35Thank you so much,
11:36all three of you,
11:36being here for clarity.
11:38Pick up your signaling devices again
11:39because Sean is going to

11:43collective animal names
11:45for 100.
11:46I'm a proud non-smoker,
11:48but why are these ships
11:49of the desert
11:49in a caravan

12:20A bunch of turkeys
12:21seems perfect,
12:22but they collectivize
12:23as of this,
12:24a group gathered by a sheriff
12:26to go after Old West bad guys.
12:28Roy.

13:10PMI is private mortgage insurance.
13:12Back to you, Roy.
13:14Military rank 400.
13:16Examples of this harsh
13:17two-word penalty
13:18include flogging,
13:19last carried out

13:22in Delaware in 1952.
13:24Roy.
13:25What is corporal punishment?
13:26You got it.
13:27This is S100.
13:29Don't be fooled
13:30by the cute name.
13:31These debris clumps
13:32under your furniture
13:33can clog electronics

13:44Those are dust bunnies.
13:45Dust bunnies, right?
13:47Roy.
13:48Animal names 300.
13:50A neck of these African beasts
13:52would have almost been as appropriate
13:53as a tower of them is.
13:56Sean.
13:57What is a giraffe?
13:57Yes.
13:58Animal names 400.
14:00A hypnosis of cobras
14:02would have been pretty cool to say,

14:06a long case that holds arrows.
14:08Cynthia.
14:09What is a quiver?
14:10Right.
14:10Oh, thank God.
14:11Number 500,
14:13collective animal names.
14:14Damon Albarn led a band of them
14:16that ends with a Z.
14:17These primates band together as well,
14:19but we'd go with a magilla.
14:21Sean.
14:22What are gorillas?
14:23That's right.
14:24We need the dough 200.
14:26Your falafel will taste better
14:28if this pocket bread is freshly baked
14:30and it only takes about four minutes to knead
14:32and three minutes in the oven.
14:33Sean.
14:34What is pita?
14:35Yes.
14:35Dough 300.

14:42Cynthia.
14:43What is a baguette?
14:44That's right.
14:45400.
14:47After you knead the dough
14:48for this Jewish bread
14:49that's traditional for Shabbat,
14:51you start braiding it.
14:52Bake until golden.
14:54Roy.
14:55What is challah?
14:56That's the right bread.
14:57Here's the last clue
14:58and we knead the dough.
14:59There are a total of three C's
15:01in the name of this Italian bread
15:02that can be made with minimal
15:04or even no kneading.
15:06Roy.
15:06What is focaccia?
15:07Three C's in focaccia.
15:09Well done.
15:09So you will have the lead
15:10at the end of the Jeopardy round, Roy.
15:12Cynthia, you'll select first
15:13when we come back
15:13because Double Jeopardy is up next.
15:15You're watching Celebrity Jeopardy All-Star.
15:25In Double Jeopardy,
15:26there are two Daily Doubles
15:27awaiting our All-Stars.
15:28Here are the categories.
15:30First up,
15:31it's an invitation
15:31to a destination wedding.
15:33You'll need to identify
15:34the destination
15:35given the letters
15:36I do.
15:37You'll figure it out
15:38when you see it.
15:39After that,
15:40we have the language of faith,
15:42then book covers,
15:44radio stations,
15:46you've got to have art,
15:48and finally,
15:50getting old movies.
15:51Cynthia,
15:52where do you want
15:52to start the round?
15:53Let's start
15:54getting old movies for 400.
15:56So these creatures
15:58don't normally age and die
15:59unless they get their version
16:01of progeria
16:02like David Bowie
16:03in The Hunger.
16:04Sean.
16:04What are vampires?
16:05Correct.
16:06Getting Old Movies,
16:07600.
16:08In Scarlett Johansson's
16:09directorial debut,

20:13and it's just a collection
20:15of short stories
20:16of all of the different values
20:17and lessons I learned
20:18from various men in my life,
20:20whether it's somebody
20:20as casual as a co-worker
20:22or someone as serious
20:23as a former educator
20:24that you ran into.
20:25You know, the values
20:26that we get
20:28come from a collection
20:29of people,
20:30so I just wanted
20:30to pay tribute to them.
20:31That's great.

20:49actually led to something
20:51happening to you
20:51in real life.
20:52Yes.
20:53It was a sports bar
20:55and there was some clue
20:57about it being
20:58a women's bar
20:58or something
20:59and I guess
21:00the sports bra
21:01which I didn't know
21:03but seemed logical to me
21:04and then the sports bra
21:07sent me all kinds
21:08of lovely merch
21:09as a thank you.
21:11So you have a lot
21:12of stuff that says
21:13sports bra on it.

21:16or not.
21:16Exactly.
21:17And next time you're

22:18Yeah, I don't know either
22:19and it was cool.
22:20We got a lot of feedback
22:21from people about that.
22:23Like, it seems like
22:24no matter how big
22:25the movies are
22:26that we do,
22:26more people reach out
22:28about seeing us
22:29on Jeopardy

36:26So,
36:28funny story.
36:30When I got hired
36:31at the Daily Show,
36:32the first thing I did
36:33was learn
36:34all of the presidents,
36:35because I thought
36:36there would be a quiz,
36:38and then they never quiz
36:39us on the presidents,
36:40and then I forgot about it.
36:46We are closing out
36:47tonight's Celebrity Jeopardy
36:48All-Stars show
36:49with this final
36:50Jeopardy category,
36:5220th century novels.

37:39Daily Double.
37:40What did you come up
37:41with as your
37:42final Jeopardy response,
37:43Roy?
37:44What is Hiking the Book 2?
37:48Not Hiking the Book,
37:49which we all enjoyed,
37:51but the sequel.
37:52Hiking the Book 2.
37:54That's a great guess.
37:55I'm afraid that's not correct,
37:57Roy.
37:57Is that going to be
37:58your follow-up
37:58to your book?
37:59Yeah, probably.
38:00You wagered $900.
38:02It leaves you with nothing,
38:04but thank you
38:04for being here today.
38:05Cynthia Nixon
38:05was in second place
38:06with $7,500.
38:08What novel did she write down?
38:10Looks like it was going to be
38:11The Hitchhiker's Guide
38:12to the Galaxy.
38:13Is that right?
38:14Yes.
38:14Not the right book.
38:15Well, I'm really glad
38:16it's not the right book
38:17because I didn't finish it.
38:19Ran out of time.
38:20Yeah.
38:20That's the problem
38:21with Final Jeopardy.
38:22You've got to write fast
38:23when that music's winding up.
38:24But it wouldn't have mattered,
38:25so I'm relieved about that.
38:27How much did you wager?
38:28Everything.
38:29You also wagered everything,
38:30so you're left tied
38:31with Roy with $0.
38:32But Sean Gunn had a great game today.
38:34Wound up with $19,000.
38:36Did he think of the right book?
38:39What is on the road?
38:40Yes.
38:41If you do the math,
38:42it has to be a 50s novel,
38:43and that's one of the greats,
38:44Jack Kerouac's beat novel.
38:46How much did you wager?
38:47He didn't have to wager a penny.
38:49He finishes with $19,000,
38:51but more importantly,
38:52he advances to the semifinals.
38:54We'll be seeing you again, Sean.
38:55Congratulations.
38:57Cynthia and Roy,
38:58thank you so much for being here.
39:00We're happy that $30,000
39:01will go to your worthy organizations.
39:05Thank you for being with us tonight
39:07on Celebrity Jeopardy.
39:08Have a great night.
39:10Did you know the latest episodes
39:12of Jeopardy are now streaming on Hulu?
39:15You all had a great game.
39:17Sean, you're going to have to play again
39:18in the semifinals.
39:19Some other winners.
39:20I know.
39:21What are your predictions for that game?
39:22Well, I don't know.
39:24I know it's going to be tough
39:25because one of them is going to be
39:26a former champion.
39:27Is that correct?
39:28That's right.
39:28It'll be somebody who has won
39:29Celebrity Jeopardy in the past season.
39:31He really doesn't want it to be
39:33like Barenholtz.
39:34I don't.
39:35That's awesome.
39:36But they're obviously all three.
39:38They all won.
39:39They're great.
39:39They're all winners.
39:40So, yeah, I don't know.
39:41I mean, look,
39:42I feel like both times I've been on now,
39:44it's like I, for whatever reason,
39:46I've done a pretty good job
39:46of staying home
39:47and not getting nervous
39:48because I'm like,
39:49I either know it or I don't.
39:51Nerves don't help me at all.
39:52So I'm either going to know
39:54the answer or not.
39:55I just don't want to say anything
39:56to embarrass myself.
39:57That's exactly right.
39:58You don't want to say the one.
39:59Right.
40:00Like, I could do great,
40:01but if I say one thing
40:03that's super embarrassing,
40:04that's what will be viral
40:06the next day.
40:07How do you think I feel
40:08with a black history category?
40:12Petrified.
40:12I'm like, wait.
40:14We have this even on
40:15Nightly Civilian Jeopardy now.
40:17People will show up
40:17and I'll say,
40:18well, what are your goals?
40:19And they just say,
40:20oh, I just don't want to go viral.
40:21You know, like,
40:21it's a different world now
40:23for sure.
40:24But you all kept cool heads today.
40:26Played very well.
40:27Sean, good luck.
40:27We'll see you in the semis.
40:28Thanks a bunch.
