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.
00:52And 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
01:10emerge as our ultimate champion, earning a $1 million grand prize for charity.
01:14But the first step is making it to the semifinals.
01:17And back tonight, hoping to do just that, we have Sean, 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 Lyricpalooza.
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 Lyricpalooza 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 Lyricpalooza 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.
02:58Whose version do you prefer there, Roy?
02:59Uh, Johnny's or vanilla ice's?
03:01Uh, Johnny 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.
03:21But 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 Lyricpalooza for 500.
03:41One more time.
03:42The great Johnny Gilbert.
03:43I like big butts and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny that when a girl walks
03:49in with an itty-bitty waist, you get sprung.
03:53Sean.
03:54Who is Sir Mix-a-Lot?
03:55That'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, Napoleon failed in a plan to head to America in July 1815
04:10and 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 being exiled in Elba, but after he came back, he
04:22was exiled again in St. Helena.
04:25What 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 gives you a word meaning grand or majestic.
04:36Cynthia.
04:36What is August?
04:37Yes.
04:38So 19th Century for 400.
04:41Independence, Missouri, and the Willamette River Valley were the start and end points of
04:45this 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 in New York City, but three years later broke a leg in
05:00on stage in a much more horrifying way.
05:03Cynthia.
05:03Who is John Wilkes Booth?
05:05That's correct.
05:06Uh, That's So 19th Century 500.
05:08Answer there is a Daily Double, Cynthia.
05:14Have you become a 19th Century expert recently through your TV work?
05:18Perhaps.
05:19You can wager up to $500.
05:20I would say $500, please.
05:22Okay.
05:22House maximum.
05:23Here's your clue in That's So 19th Century.
05:27Marks your calendars.
05:291848 was the year this pamphlet began ominously with, A Spectre is Haunting Europe.
05:42What is the red?
05:43I 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 the people of Texas and all Americans in the world to get
06:00some help at this landmark.
06:02Too late.
06:03Sean.
06:03What is the Alamo?
06:04Yeah.
06:04We need the dough, 100.
06:07Carraway seeds are added to the dough before kneading when making this bread, the standard
06:11for 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, but the more likely culprit is this medical affliction.
06:25Sean.
06:26What is tinnitus?
06:27Yes, tinnitus.
06:27You even said it the fancy way.
06:29Very good.
06:30And you're in the lead right now, Sean.
06:31We need to take a quick break.
06:32But Celebrity Jeopardy!
06:33All-Stars, we'll be right back.
06:43Comedian and writer Roy Wood Jr., originally 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 that 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 for plants.
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, but you wouldn't acknowledge them.
07:14And I know, like, the Clue team and the producers over there, like, they probably don't even have ferns.
07:20But then you're asking me about a fern.
07:22And I just thought it was a setup.
07:24That's all I'm going to say.
07:24I just thought I was a setup because 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, and you better not have it again today.
07:34I hope not.
07:35But I was cool with the HBCU questions.
07:38My son plays chess.
07:39I was killing it with the chess.
07:40So I need a Lego category today.
07:43Okay.
07:43Whatever a nine-year-old like, I'm an ace in that.
07:46What charity are you playing for this season?
07:49I'm playing for Birmingham-based nonprofit, I See Me Incorporated.
07:52It was founded by a former elementary school teacher who saw a disparity in her children in terms of literacy.
07:59And they have studies, Ken.
08:01You know, if you can get children reading early, K-3, they're less likely to deal with childhood hunger,
08:07less likely to deal with childhood homelessness, less likely to end up in our criminal justice system.
08:12If we talk about ending crime in this country, it starts with literacy.
08:15So I support I See Me.
08:17Fantastic.
08:17Get the kids reading.
08:19Thank you, Yves.
08:22Cynthia Nixon is an actor and director originally from New York City.
08:25And that's where you and I last ran into each other, right?
08:28We did.
08:28We ran into each other off-Broadway at O'Mary before it moved to Broadway, one of the funniest shows
08:35ever.
08:36Hilarious.
08:36And I said to you, you know, we reminisced a little bit, and I said that I had had such
08:41a great time,
08:41and that my only dream was to go on again, and never dreaming that it might actually happen, and here
08:49I am.
08:49I thought you were just being polite.
08:51No.
08:51But you should never say that kind of thing to me, because I'll be like, Cynthia said she'd do it
08:54again.
08:55Because you were a little nervous last time.
08:57I was.
08:57I was nervous.
08:58And I, you know, I was just, my main fear was just not embarrassing myself last time.
09:03So I determined that I was going to just go and have a good time.
09:08It's kind of like your wedding.
09:09Do you know what I mean?
09:10Right.
09:10It's like, you could be as prepared as you want, but if the whole thing, you're just nervous the whole
09:14time, you don't enjoy it and look around.
09:16So today is like your second marriage.
09:18It's well.
09:19You have a second chance.
09:20It's like the renewal of vows.
09:22There we go.
09:23That's better put.
09:23The renewal of vows, yeah.
09:25Who are you playing for on Celebrity Jeopardy also?
09:27I'm playing for Doctors Without Borders USA, which is an amazing organization.
09:31And they have been so crucial, you know, in Gaza, in Ukraine, in the Congo, and in Sudan, giving life
09:42-saving medical care, but also, you know, combating severe malnutrition, particularly in children.
09:48And an amazing thing is for all the, how big they are and how much good they do, 90%
09:54of their budget comes from individual people.
09:57Oh, wow.
09:58Just donating all around the world.
09:59So I'm really happy to be here today, you know, putting a little money in the bucket for them.
10:04They are heroes.
10:05And so are you for playing for them.
10:07Thank you, Cynthia.
10:10Sean Gunn is originally from Manchester, Missouri.
10:13That's right.
10:13An actor, also a Celebrity Jeopardy semi-finalist.
10:17Congratulations.
10:17You've done quite well on the Alex Trebek stage in the past.
10:21What's your secret, Sean?
10:22How do you know all that stuff?
10:23When I first started on Gilmore Girls about 25 years ago, I started the habit of reading when I was
10:29in my, when I was waiting in between setups, in between scenes.
10:32And I would read The New Yorker cover to cover pretty much every single week.
10:36Wow.
10:36And doing that a long enough time, you accumulate some knowledge.
10:40And then just in general, like, being a medium-employed actor for, like, 30 years, you get a lot of
10:47free time in between jobs.
10:49I try to educate myself as much as I can.
10:51I like to learn particularly trivial things.
10:54I love that you get The New Yorker, but unlike many of us, you actually read it every week.
10:58Exactly.
10:59Well done.
10:59Tell us about your charity, Sean.
11:01I am playing for Women for Women International, which is a just awesome global nonprofit.
11:07They are in 17 conflict-afflicted countries, and they go there and help the women there, giving them resources, skills,
11:18tools to rebuild their lives and their families and the communities around them and just sort of promote gender equality
11:28issues for all of the people in those areas, which I think is one of the most important things we
11:33can do going forward.
11:34That sounds amazing. Thank you so much, all three of you, being here for clarity.
11:38Pick up your signaling devices again, because Sean is going to make the next election.
11:42Let's go to collective animal names for 100.
11:46I'm a proud nonsmoker, but why are these ships of the desert in a caravan when a pack of them
11:52would have been spot on?
11:53Roy.
11:54What are camels?
11:55Pack of camels, yes.
11:58Military rank included for 200.
12:00On January 10th, 1946, 51 countries were represented when the first session of this body of the United Nations convened.
12:08Cynthia.
12:09What is the Security Council?
12:11No, I'm sorry.
12:11Oh, gosh.
12:12Roy.
12:13What is the General Assembly?
12:14Yeah, got to have a rank. The General Assembly. Well done.
12:16Oh, got it.
12:18Collective animals, 200.
12:20A bunch of turkeys seems perfect, but they collectivize as of this, a group gathered by a sheriff to go
12:26after Old West bad guys.
12:27Roy.
12:29What is a posse?
12:30A posse of turkeys.
12:31Military rank 100.
12:34Hello, sailor. Horatio Magellan are the given names of this serial mascot who commands the SS Guppy.
12:41Cynthia.
12:42Who is Captain Crunch.
12:43Right.
12:45Military rank included for 300.
12:48Jaden Daniels capitalized and won the 2024 AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year playing for this team.
12:54Roy.
12:55Who are the Washington Commanders?
12:57Right.
12:58Military rank 500.
13:00PMI, short for this, may be required if you take out a home loan and pay less than 20%
13:05of the purchase price.
13:10PMI is private mortgage insurance.
13:12Back to you, Roy.
13:14Military rank 400.
13:16Examples of this harsh two-word penalty include flogging, last carried out by the U.S. justice system in Delaware
13:22in 1952.
13:24Roy.
13:24What is corporal punishment?
13:26You got it.
13:27This is us 100.
13:29Don't be fooled by the cute name.
13:31These debris clumps under your furniture can clog electronics and cause respiratory problems.
13:36Cynthia.
13:37What is fungus?
13:38No, I'm sorry.
13:41Sean or Roy?
13:42A little cuter than fungus.
13:44Those are dust bunnies.
13:45Dust bunnies.
13:47Roy?
13:48Uh, animal names 300.
13:50A neck of these African beasts would have almost been as appropriate as a tower of them is.
13:56Sean.
13:56What is a giraffe?
13:58Yes.
13:58Animal names 400.
14:00A hypnosis of cobras would have been pretty cool to say.
14:04But the slitherers group as a this.
14:06A long case that holds arrows.
14:08Cynthia.
14:09What is a quiver?
14:10Right.
14:10Oh, thank God.
14:12Number 500 collective animal names.
14:14Damon Albarn led a band of them that 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.
14:24Uh, we knead the dough 200.
14:26Your falafel will taste better if this pocket bread is freshly baked.
14:30And it only takes about four minutes to knead and three minutes in the oven.
14:34Sean.
14:34What is pita?
14:35Yes.
14:35Uh, dough 300.
14:37From the French for rod, this long and narrow loaf is great for a po'boy.
14:42Cynthia.
14:43What is a baguette?
14:44That's right.
14:45400.
14:47After you knead the dough for this Jewish bread that's traditional for Shabbat, you start
14:51braiding it.
14:52Bake until golden.
14:54Roy.
14:55What is challah?
14:56That's the right bread.
14:57Here's the last clue and we knead the dough.
14:59There are a total of three C's in the name of this Italian bread that can be made with minimal
15:04or even no kneading.
15:06Roy.
15:07What is focaccia?
15:08Three C's in focaccia.
15:09Well done.
15:10So you will have the lead at the end of the Jeopardy round, Roy.
15:12Cynthia, you'll select for us when we come back because Double Jeopardy is up next.
15:15You're watching Celebrity Jeopardy All-Star.
15:25In Double Jeopardy, there are two Daily Doubles awaiting our All-Stars.
15:28Here are the categories.
15:30First up, it's an invitation to a destination wedding.
15:33You'll need to identify the destination given the letters, I do.
15:37You'll figure it out when you see it.
15:39After that, we have the language of faith, then book covers, radio stations, you've got
15:47to have art, and finally, getting old movies.
15:51Cynthia, where do you want to start the round?
15:53Let's start getting old movies for 400.
15:56So, these creatures don't normally age and die, unless they get their version of progeria,
16:02like David Bowie in The Hunger.

16:04What are vampires?
16:05Correct.
16:06Getting old movies, 600.

16:28Hepburn, her fourth.

16:30What is on Golden Pond?
16:31It is.
16:32Uh, getting old movies, 1,000.
16:35Beach resort vacationers age faster than even too much sun would cause in this director's
16:402021 movie, Old.

16:43Who is M. Night Shyamalan?
16:45No, I'm sorry.
16:47Sean.
16:49Who is M. Night Shyamalan?
16:51Shyamalan, yeah.
16:52The M first, then the L, Roy.
16:53Sorry.
16:54Seems fair.
16:54Back to you, Sean.
16:55Uh, getting old, 200.
16:57In here, the couple who age from their teens to 80 are played by these two actors we remember
17:03as Forrest and Jenny.
17:07From Forrest Gump, Tom Hanks and Robin Wright.
17:10Sean.
17:10Uh, you gotta have art for 800.
17:13This Jewish painter depicted fiddlers on roofs, but the jury is out on if he inspired
17:18the title Fiddler on the Roof for a musical.
17:20Sean.
17:21Who is Chagall?
17:22Well done.
17:23Um, you gotta have art 1,000.
17:26He's known for color field paintings.
17:28Large areas of solid colors stacked atop each other, like Untitled 1952.

17:34Oh.
17:37Roy?
17:40Inadvertent buzz.

18:42Okay, going for 2600.
18:44I like it.
18:46Here's your clue in book covers, Sympia.
18:49What's that?
18:49A haunting paperback cover of a 1979 V.C. Andrews book shows a girl gazing out of the window
18:56of this room.
18:59What is flowers in the attic?
19:01The attic, that's right.
19:02Yeah, that's the room.
19:03You got it.
19:04And you double up for 2600.
19:06Welcome to second place, Sympia.

19:15cover of her 2010 memoir, Just Kids.
19:18Sean.
19:19Who's Mapplethorpe?
19:20It is.
19:21Let's do, uh, book covers 400.
19:23Giving away the plot, a cover of the 2001 novel Life of Pi shows a boat whose passengers are
19:29a boy and this animal.
19:31Sean.
19:32What is a tiger?
19:32Yes.
19:33Book covers 200.
19:35A predatory bird is staring right at you on the cover of Helen McDonald's acclaimed 2016
19:40book, H is for this.
19:45H is for Hawk.
19:46It's a hawk looking at you.
19:48We're halfway through the round, so we're going to pause.
19:49Sean, you're still in the lead, but Cynthia's making a move.
19:52We'll see what happens when Double Jeopardy continues.
19:54You're watching Celebrity Jeopardy All-Stars.
19:56Stay tuned.
20:03Roy, at the top of the show, we heard Johnny Gilbert mention the title of your book.
20:07I want to hear more about your memoir.
20:08Yeah, yeah.
20:09A little simply memoir, The Man of Many Fathers.
20:11You know, my dad passed away when I was 16, and it's just a collection of short stories
20:16of all of the different values and lessons I learned from various men in my life, whether
20:20it's somebody as casual as a co-worker or someone as serious as a former educator that
20:25you ran into.
20:25You know, the values that we get come from a collection of people, so I just wanted to
20:30pay tribute to them.
20:31That's great.
20:32I hope some of those people are watching you on Celebrity Jeopardy.
20:35Like, I hope some of them are still with us.
20:36I hope so, but I need to get more money, Ken, to make those people proud.
20:41You want them to see you win.
20:42Yeah.
20:42I bet they're proud either way.
20:44Keep it close.
20:45Cynthia Nixon.
20:46Yes.
20:46I hear one of your correct responses last time you were here actually led to something
20:51happening to you in real life.
20:52Yes.
20:53It was a sports bar, and there was some clue about being a women's bar or something, and
20:59I guess the sports bra, which I didn't know but seemed logical to me, and then the sports
21:06bra sent me all kinds of, like, lovely merch as a thank you.
21:11So that was lovely.
21:12So you have a lot of stuff that says sports bra on it.
21:15I do.
21:15Whether you want that or not.
21:16Exactly.
21:17And next time you're in Oregon, will you stop by and visit?
21:19Well, my wife is from Washington, from Seattle, so it's, you know, a hop, skip, and a jump.
21:25So I hope to sometime.
21:26And what do you have coming up?
21:28I have the fourth Knock on Wood season of The Gilded Age, which is just about to start.
21:34That's great.
21:35What about you, Sean Gunn?
21:37What do you have coming up?
21:38A bunch of cool stuff.
21:39I'm doing a second season of Creature Commandos on HBO Max, which is a show I just love being
21:46a part of.
21:47I do two voices on that show, and some other stuff in the DCU.
21:52My character, Maxwell Lord, was introduced in Superman, and we see him again in Peacemaker,
21:57and there's more of him to come in the DCU, but it's pretty exciting.
22:01I was waiting.
22:01You popped up at the very end of Superman.
22:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:03I was happy to see you.
22:04Just a second, yeah.
22:05We had this meta thing happen on the Alex Trebek stage where we had James Gunn reading clues
22:09for us, your director brother, and he mentioned that you had read a clue, and it seemed like
22:14him giving a clue about you giving a clue, I'm not sure that's ever happened on Jeopardy.
22:18Yeah, I don't know either, and it was cool.
22:20We got a lot of feedback from people about that.
22:23It seems like no matter how big the movies are that we do, more people reach out about
22:28seeing us on Jeopardy than anything else that there is, which is pretty cool.
22:33But of course, it's also the classic older brother, little brother dynamic.
22:38He gets to come in and just read the clue and get the glory while I'm out here in the
22:43Jeopardy trenches actually playing the game.
22:47Well, maybe we'll have you read another clue about his clue about your clue.
22:50That's perfect.
22:51You'll have the upper hand once again.
22:52Right now, you're in the lead, Sean, and you have command of the board.
22:55Three categories left.
22:56Which will it be?
22:57Okay, let's do destination wedding for $600.
23:00Let's see how this goes.
23:01Put I Do and Mickey, too, on invites to your wedding at this Disney World park.

23:47Correct.
23:47Destination wedding, $800.
23:49Get married in a rotunda.
23:52Politicians often say, I don't, but this D.C. landmark reads, I Do.
23:57Roy.
23:57What is the Capitol Dome?
23:59Yes.
23:59Oh.
24:01Uh, destination wedding, $1,000.

25:12Language of Faith, $200.
25:14A setback that later leads to a great outcome is one of these in disguise.

25:19What is a blessing?
25:20Yes.
25:20Uh, $400, please.
25:22A business opportunity too good to be true, or some foods mentioned in the book of Leviticus
25:27may not be this.
25:31They may not be kosher.
25:33Sean?
25:34Uh, Language of Faith, $600.
25:35Answer there is a Daily Double.
25:42You're playing for a pretty solid lead at the moment, Sean, but we still have Triple Jeopardy
25:46to come.
25:46What do you want to risk on the Language of Faith?
25:49Let's do $2,500.
25:50All right.
25:51You'll have $13,200 if you're right.
25:54In the Language of Faith, here's your clue.
25:56Hindu belief led to this phrase, meaning a person or idea that no one dares criticize.
26:06What is above reproach?
26:09Sorry, no.
26:10A sacred cow.
26:11Yeah.
26:12From the Hindu belief about cattle.
26:13So you lose a little bit, but you're still in first place, Sean.
26:16Two clues left.
26:17Uh, Language 800.
26:19My friend Ed reads the sports pages, Roxane Gay's substack, and especially the New Testament
26:25this way, with regularity.

26:29Yes, he reads them religiously.
26:31And here's the last clue from the Language of Faith.
26:33It's an event no human could have prevented, and it may not be covered by your insurance.
26:38Cynthia?
26:38What is an act of God?
26:40Well done, yes.
26:40So you're in second place at the end of the Double Jeopardy round.
26:43Sean's in the lead, but a little less than it was a second ago.
26:45Still anybody's game.
26:46And Triple Jeopardy is up next.
26:48We'll be back with so much Jeopardy after this break.
26:51I thought it was kosher, and I was like, why did I say kosher?
26:54And then I forgot the Daily Double.
26:58You've seen Jeopardy.
26:59You've seen Double Jeopardy, but you ain't seen nothing yet.
27:01This is Triple Jeopardy with three Daily Doubles and these categories.
27:05First up is Taylor, the creator, followed by Rhyme Time, Black History, Liftoff with NASA,
27:15TV, and finally a category where I'd love to hear your best Adam Sandler impressions.
27:21All the responses will end in an A sound, like Bobby Poucher in The Waterboy.
27:27Maybe your impression's better than mine.
27:28I really hope so.
27:29Roy, you're up first.
27:30Let's do Liftoff with NASA for $300.
27:34According to NASA records, the crew of Apollo 11 planted this item on the moon after it
27:40was purchased at Sears for $5.50.

27:45Let's do Rhyme Time for $300.

27:57It's a full-on fight between all the cows and the bulls in the pasture.

28:05You hate to see one of these.

28:07Sean.
28:08Rhyme Time again, $900.
28:09Let's try it again.
28:11Think back on events that happened in the 11th month.

28:58in a small Texas town.
29:02What is The Hunting Wives?
29:05Roy.
29:06NASA, $600.
29:07Because NASA's got to be sciency, EVA, or extravehicular activity, is its preferred term over this nine-letter word.
29:16Sipia.
29:16What is capsule?
29:18No.
29:19Roy.
29:19What is moonwalk?
29:20I'm afraid not.
29:21What is spacewalk?
29:22Oh.
29:24It was a spacewalk.
29:26Too late, Roy.
29:27But back to you.
29:27NASA, $1,200.
29:29When it landed on Mars in 2021, NASA's Ingenuity helicopter was carrying a piece of Flyer 1,

30:08NASA, $1,500.
30:10You're shaking your head.
30:11Answer, there's a Daily Double.
30:18You're in third place right now, Roy, but a chance to make a move here.
30:21I've taken my son to space camp two times.
30:24I don't deserve it.
30:26I'm going to make it a true Daily Double.
30:28Okay, you're going for it.
30:30If I don't know it by now.
30:34Well, we're wishing you luck.
30:35You'll have $7,600 in second place if you're right.
30:37Here's your clue in liftoff with NASA.
30:40CBS News anchor on July 20th, 1969, he was the first non-astronaut given a moon rock by NASA.
30:49Who is Dan Rather?
30:51Sorry, no.
30:52It was Walter Cronkite before it was Rather.
30:55So you take a step back there, but still lots of time, Roy.
30:57To be fair, they never talked about Walter Cronkite at space camp.
31:00I can see why.
31:01Uh, I got to get back in my groove.
31:04We're doing Black History 300.
31:06Founded at Howard University in 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha, the nation's largest black sorority,

31:47Sean.
31:48Who is James Bond?
31:49Yes.
31:50Uh, Adam Sandler impression, 900.

32:39of this Loire River outlet.
32:44What is the Bay of Biscay?
32:47All right, no more of those.

32:49Okay.
32:50Uh, TV 900.
32:52This Happy Days character often employed percussive maintenance, hitting the jukebox just so
32:58to get it to play a certain song.

33:13It is.
33:14Uh, TV, 1500.

33:38Uh, let's do Black History 900.

33:49they let him co-host the ceremony.
33:52Roy.
33:52What is gospel music?
33:53That's right.
33:54Black History 1200.
33:55Answer there is a daily double, Roy.
34:02You can see the scores.
34:03We're getting late in the round.
34:04How much do you want to risk?
34:06I'm black.
34:06I got to bet it all.
34:08Make it a true daily double.
34:10You'll have 4,200 if you're right.
34:15Here's your clue.
34:16No pressure, Roy.
34:19With a logo in mind for a new organization, SNCC sent a colleague to the Atlanta Zoo in
34:241966 to snap pics of this feline.
34:32What is a panther?

34:37$4,200 now for you.
34:39Oh, my head.
34:41Uh, Taylor, the creator, $1,500.
34:43It's another daily double, Roy.
34:50I got to catch him.
34:52I have no choice.
34:53Run it again.
34:54True daily double.
34:57Two true daily doubles attempted back to back.
35:00Let's see how this goes for you, Roy.
35:02Taylor, the creator, is your category.
35:04Here's the clue.
35:04This president, Lincoln's successor, rose from poverty by making fellas look unimpeachably
35:12fly as a tailor.
35:17Who is Taft?
35:19No, I'm sorry, Andrew Johnson.
35:21The daily doubles give and then they take away.
35:24Ugh.
35:25You still have command of the board, Roy.
35:27I'm sorry.
35:27Select again.
35:28Uh, Taylor, $300.

35:40Yes.
35:41Taylor, the creator, $1,200.

35:53What is Gucci?
35:53Yes.
35:54The final clue from Liftoff with NASA.
35:57Using a treadmill, NASA astronaut Sunita Williams ran the 2007 Boston Marathon aboard the ISS.
36:04Which stands for this?
36:06Roy Wood Jr.
36:07International.
36:08What is International Space Station?
36:09That's correct.
36:10That takes you to $900.
36:14All three of you involved in Final Jeopardy, here's your category.
36:1820th century novels.
36:20We'll pause while the All-Stars make their wagers, and then we'll come back to reveal the clue.
36:24Stay with us.
36:27So, funny story.
36:30When I got hired at the Daily Show, the first thing I did was learn all of the presidents,
36:35because I thought there would be a quiz.
36:38And then they never quizzed us on the presidents.
36:41And then I forgot them.
36:46We are closing out tonight's Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars show.
36:49With this Final Jeopardy! category, 20th century novels.
36:53Here's the clue.
36:55A 2017 exhibit devoted to this novel on its 60th anniversary featured a giant map labeled

37:0430 seconds, players.
37:05Good luck.
37:06Good luck.
37:20Good luck.
37:30Good luck.
37:36Roy Wood Jr. had $900 after a tough daily double.
37:40What did you come up with as your final Jeopardy response, Roy?
37:44What is Hiking the Book 2?
37:48Not Hiking the Book, which we all enjoyed, but the sequel.
37:53Hiking the Book 2.
37:54That's a great guess.
37:55I'm afraid that's not correct, Roy.
37:57Is that going to be your follow-up to your book?
37:59Yeah, probably.
38:00You wagered $900. It leaves you with nothing.
38:04But thank you for being here today.
38:05Cynthia Nixon was in second place with $7,500.
38:08What novel did she write down?
38:10Looks like it was going to be The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
38:13Is that right?
38:14Yes.
38:14Not the right book.
38:15Well, I'm really glad it's not the right book because I didn't finish it.
38:19Ran out of time, yeah.
38:20That's the problem with Final Jeopardy.
38:22You got to write fast when that music's winding up.
38:24But it wouldn't have mattered, so I'm relieved about that.
38:27How much did you wager?
38:28Everything.
38:29You also wagered everything.
38:30So you're left tied with Roy with $0.
38:33But 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, it 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, he advances to the semifinals.
38:54We'll be seeing you again, Sean.
38:56Congratulations.
38:57Cynthia and Roy, thank you so much for being here.
39:00We're happy that $30,000 will go to your worthy organizations.
39:05Thank you for being with us tonight on Celebrity Jeopardy.
39:08Have a great night.
39:10Did you know the latest episodes of Jeopardy are now streaming on Hulu?
39:15You all had a great game.
39:17Sean, you're going to have to play again in 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 because one of them is going to be a former champion.
39:27Is that correct?
39:28That's right.
39:28It'll be somebody who has won Celebrity Jeopardy in the past season.
39:31He really doesn't want it to be Ike Barenholtz.
39:34I don't.
39:35It's awesome.
39:36But they're obviously all three.
39:38They all won.
39:39Are great.
39:39They're all winners.
39:40So, yeah, I don't know.
39:41I mean, look, I feel like both times I've been on now, it's like I, for whatever reason,
39:46I've done a pretty good job of staying calm and not getting nervous because 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 the answer or I'm not.
39:55I just don't want to say anything to embarrass myself.
39:57That's exactly it.
39:58You don't want to say the one.
39:59And, like, I could do great, but if I say one thing that's super embarrassing, that's
40:05what will be viral the next day.
40:07How do you think I feel with a black history category?
40:12Petrified.
40:13We have this even on Nightly Civilian Jeopardy now.
40:17People will show up and I'll say, well, what are your goals?
40:19And they just say, oh, I just don't want to go viral.
40:22It's a different world now, for sure.
40:24But you all kept cool heads today.
40:26Played very well.
40:27Sean, good luck.
40:28We'll see you in the semis.
40:28Thanks a bunch.
