07:44Coming up next, the pursuit continues as Ashton and Terry go head-to-head for the opportunity
07:49to move on and play for $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
08:05Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
08:07Ashton and Terry have made it here to the next round, so let's get to know them a little
08:12bit better.
08:13Ashton, our champion, you are an archivist.
08:17Any books in the archiving that you do?
08:19I have several great colleagues who work in rare books.
08:22Rare books, right?
08:23I would love to sit there and put my hands on rare books.
08:26You're welcome.
08:27Anytime.
08:28Thank you, sir.
08:29And Terry, you're a hypnotist.
08:31I am.
08:31How does one get to be a hypnotist?
08:33I was actually a magician for about 20 years, and I found that getting kind of tedious and
08:37boring, so I decided to sort of switch paths and go with a parallel career.
08:41All right, fellas.
08:41The best of luck to both of you.
08:43We're going to get back to the game.
08:44Now, in this round, fellas, you're going to be answering multiple choice questions.
08:48Working your way through the categories once again, this time, each correct answer is
08:53worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
08:58Now, you both selected the order of the categories that you'll be playing, and you picked one
09:04category that you didn't want to see on the board at all.
09:08Ashton, you have set the pathway the same as you did before, but you've elected not to
09:13play entertainment and really all in on geography.
09:17I'm just very pro-geography and history.
09:20I'm not anti-entertainment.
09:21There's just so much of it out there that I don't have time to watch or listen to.
09:25And Terry, I see you've opted to skip sports and leisure, and your 1,000-point category
09:32is science and nature.
09:33I am not a big sports fan.
09:35I went to a state school that had a terrible team, so we never got into college sports.
09:38And I'm a Mets fan, so that's even worse.
09:40But science has always been a passion of mine.
09:43Gentlemen, whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round, we'll be moving
09:47on to the final pursuit to play for $20,000.
09:51Let the pursuit begin.
09:57Terry, you are trailing by 200 points, so you, sir, will be going first.
10:01For 200 points, your multiple-choice question in entertainment.
10:06What is the name of Donald Duck's twin sister?
10:11Is it Daisy Duck, Della Duck, or Donna Duck?
10:16Wow.
10:17Well, I think Daisy is his girlfriend.
10:20I'm going to have to take a guess on this one.
10:22I'm going to go with Donna Duck.
10:24Terry, let's see if you're right.
10:27Mmm.
10:28Della, Ashton, here is your 200-point question in the category of science and nature.
10:36Which of these scientists was involved in the Manhattan Project?
10:41Charles Babbage, Richard Feynman, or Rosalind Franklin?
10:46Okay, so Charles Babbage, I believe, was a computer guy.
10:51At least that's what the electronics store in our town was called.
10:54Rosalind Franklin, I believe, worked with Watson and Crick on DNA.
10:59So I'm going to say Richard Feynman and lock it in.
11:04Ashton, let's see if you're right.
11:08Richard Feynman.
11:10Terry, coming to you, your 400-point question in the category art and literature.
11:16The Tony-winning musical Kinky Boots features music and lyrics by which 1980s pop-punk hit maker?
11:25Is that Cyndi Lauper, Debbie Harry, or Joan Jett?
11:32I actually saw Kinky Boots on Broadway a few years ago.
11:35I still have the playbill from it, and Cyndi Lauper's name is front and center.
11:39So I'm going to say Cyndi Lauper, lock it in.
11:40Locking in on Cyndi Lauper.
11:43Terry, seems like you know it.
11:47Cyndi Lauper it is.
11:49It's a tie game now, Ashton, for your 400-point question, art and literature.
11:55Rock band, The Doors, took their name from The Doors of Perception, a book by which author?
12:02Aldous Huxley, Ken Kesey, or Timothy Leary?
12:07Hmm.
12:09Those are all names that are all authors who could have written a book like that.
12:15I'm going to go with Aldous Huxley, lock it in.
12:19Ashton, let's see if you're right.
12:23Aldous Huxley it is.
12:25Terry, here is your 600-point question in the category history, sir.
12:30Which holiday celebrates Persian New Year and the arrival of spring?
12:35Is it Eid al-Adha, Nourouz, or Ramadan?
12:41Hmm.
12:42I've never heard of Nourouz.
12:44I've heard of Ramadan, I've heard of Eid al-Hadha.
12:48I'm pretty sure I've seen a stamp celebrating Eid al-Hadha, so I'm going to say that's the one, Eid
12:53al-Hadha.
12:53Lock it in.
12:54Let's see if you're right, Terry.
12:57Ooh.
12:59Nourouz.
12:59Hmm.
13:00Ashton, here is your 600-point question, sir, in the category sports and leisure.
13:06Which of these drivers won four consecutive Formula One World Championships from 2021 to 2024?
13:14Is that Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, or Max Verstappen?
13:22Hmm.
13:23Hmm.
13:25So I'm familiar enough to know it could be Hamilton, Verstappen.
13:33Oh, gosh.
13:34I'm just going to have to guess and say Max Verstappen, please.
13:39Ashton, let's see if you're right.
13:43Verstappen it is, sir, Terry.
13:45He's got a 1,000-point lead on you.
13:48Here, sir, is your 800-point question in the category geography.
13:55Which of these rivers runs through Russia?
13:59The Dnepro, Elbe, or the Rhine?
14:04I know the Rhine runs through Germany.
14:07The Elbe, I believe, is not quite sure.
14:12I think I'm going to say the Dnepro.
14:14I'll lock it in.
14:16Terry, let's see if you're right.
14:19Dnepro is correct, sir.
14:22Only 200 points separate you now, Ashton.
14:25Here is your 800-point question in the category history.
14:30In 1910, Coco Chanel opened her first boutique, Chanel Modes,
14:35selling which fashion piece?
14:38Is it hats, jewelry, or does she sell shoes?
14:44Hmm, Coco Chanel.
14:46She is a fashion designer.
14:49That just seems...
14:50Let's actually go with jewelry.
14:52Lock it in.
14:54Ashton, let's see if you're right.
14:58Hats.
14:59Hats for the ladies' accessory of the day.
15:01All right.
15:01Terry, if you don't get this, Ashton will move on to the final pursuit to play for the $20,000.
15:09This is your 1,000-point question in the category of science and nature.
15:16Which organ's name is also a word for feelings of anger?
15:22Bladder.
15:23Bladder.
15:25Spleen.
15:29I've never heard of venting your liver.
15:31I've heard of voiding your bladder.
15:34But I've heard of venting your spleen.
15:35So I'm going to say spleen.
15:36Lock it in.
15:381,000 points.
15:40Terry, let's see if you're right.
15:43Venting your spleen.
15:44Well done, sir.
15:46Ashton, for your second trip to the finals, you need to get this answer correctly.
15:51Otherwise, Terry will be moving on to play the final pursuit for the $20,000.
15:58For 1,000 points and the win, here is your question in geography.
16:03In 1885, the home insurance building, widely considered the first ever skyscraper, was completed in which city?
16:13Chicago, New York City, or San Francisco?
16:20Before the answers popped up, my first gut feeling was Chicago.
16:25Illinois is home to lots of insurance companies.
16:28I'm going to go with Chicago.
16:29Lock it in.
16:30For the win, let's see if you're right.
16:35Chicago it is, which means congratulations, Ashton.
16:39You are moving on once again to play for the $20,000.

16:59pursuit for another $20,000.
17:02Right here on Trivial Pursuit.
17:15Welcome back, y'all. I am here with Ashton, who has just outplayed his opponents and has made it back
17:21here to the final pursuit for another chance at $20,000.

17:36between you and the $20,000 are our six Trivial Pursuit categories.

18:02I'm going with blue geography.

27:23Great having you here.
27:24Thank you for playing our game.
27:28Coming up next, the pursuit continues as Anand and Ashton go head to head for the opportunity
27:33to move on and play for $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
27:48Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
27:50Anand and our returning champion, Ashton, have made it to the next round.
27:54So let's get to know them a little bit better.
27:58Champ, it should be old hat for you now.
28:01You feeling really, really comfortable?
28:02It's getting more comfortable standing here, but the questions stay the same.
28:07level of difficulty, which is hard.
28:09It is Trivial Pursuit.
28:10And Anand, you seem to be really good at all categories.
28:15What's up with that?
28:16Yeah, back in high school, I was captain of my Sclassable Quiz Bowl team,
28:21coached by Mr. Stankiewicz, who was an amazing mentor.
28:25And him, my brother, and many friends along the way taught me everything I knew.
28:29Shout out to the teacher.
28:30I love that.
28:32All right, fellas, let's get back to the game.
28:34In this round, you're going to be answering multiple choice questions,
28:38working your way through the categories once again.
28:40But this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
28:48Now, you both selected the order of the categories that you'll be playing,
28:51and you've each selected one category that you don't want to see come up in this round.
28:56Anand, I see that you have elected not to play entertainment and selected science and nature as your 1,000
29:03-point category.
29:04Clue me in, would you?
29:05I did claim to be a scientist, so I think it's only fitting that I choose science and nature as
29:10my best category.
29:11And Ashton, you eschew entertainment and love the geography.
29:17If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
29:18If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
29:20But whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round,
29:23we'll move on to the final pursuit and play for $20,000.
29:28Let the pursuit begin.
29:34Ashton, it's rare, but you're trailing by 100 points, so you will be going first.
29:40All right.
29:41For 200 points in science and nature, in which of these phases is the moon half full?
29:50Third quarter, waning gibbous, waxing crescent.
29:57Hmm.
29:59Half full.
30:01Okay, so waning gibbous.
30:04I'm going to go with waning gibbous.
30:08Let's go ahead and lock it in.
30:09Ashton, let's see if you're right.
30:13Oh, my.
30:14Third quarter.
30:15Third quarter.
30:15Yeah.
30:16All right.
30:16Anand, here's an opportunity for you to pull further ahead for 200 points.
30:21In history, your question is, which British monarch had the longest reign?
30:28Was it King George III, Queen Elizabeth II, or Queen Victoria?
30:37I believe Elizabeth had surpassed Victoria by the time she passed.
30:42So I will lock in Queen Elizabeth II.
30:46Let's see if you're right.
30:49Right you are.
30:50She was queen from 1952 to 2022.
30:54Ashton, you're 300 points behind, sir.
30:57Mm-hmm.
30:57Here is a 400 point question.
31:00Art and literature.
31:02In 1825, which classical composer wrote Ellen's third song more commonly known as Ave Maria?
31:11Was it Antonio Salieri, Franz Schubert, or Joseph Haydn?
31:17Hmm.
31:19Salieri killed Mozart.
31:22I can say that.
31:23He's dead.
31:24That's not, that's not bad.
31:25Slander.
31:26Um, Haydn?
31:28I don't think it's Haydn.
31:29I'm gonna go with Franz Schubert.
31:31Let's lock it in.
31:33Going with Franz Schubert.
31:34Let's see if you're right.
31:38Schubert, it is indeed.
31:40Well done, Anna.
31:42Only 100 points separates you for 400 points in the category of sports and leisure.
31:49In 2024, what tennis star completed a career golden slam by winning his first Olympic gold medal?
31:59Was that Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, or Roger Federer?
32:06I think Djokovic is probably the newest person to have finished it.
32:13And I don't know about the others, but I think they've played before.
32:16So, I think it's Novak Djokovic.
32:21Anna, let's see if you're right.
32:25Djokovic is correct.
32:27He's applying a lot of pressure, Ashton.
32:31You gotta keep a pace.
32:32Yes, sir.
32:32All right?
32:33Here, sir, is your 600-point question.
32:37Sports and leisure.
32:38Which of these is a resource players can acquire in the original Settlers of Catan?
32:45Oil, quartz, or wool?
32:51I'm regretting not going to more game nights and turning those down when I was in grad school.
33:00Let's see here.
33:02You gotta love sheep.
33:03Let's go with wool.
33:04Lock it in.
33:06Ashton, let's see if you're right.
33:10Wool is correct, sir.
33:12This is a real slugfest going on here, fellas.
33:15Coming to you, Anand.
33:16Here, sir, is your 600-point question in the category Art and Literature.
33:23Canterbury Tales is among many works to feature a character named Chanticleer,
33:29usually depicted as which animal?
33:32A ram, a rooster, or stag?
33:37To be honest, I'm not sure.
33:39I've never read the full Canterbury Tales.
33:41Only selected stories here and there.
33:43And I don't remember a Chanticleer.
33:45Uh, I think I'm just going to take a guess.
33:48Rooster.
33:49Going with rooster?
33:51Anand, let's see if you're right.
33:55It was a guess, but it was the right answer.
33:58Here we go, fellas.
34:00This is a neck-and-neck, back-and-forth contest.
34:02Ashton, here is your 800-point question in the category of history.
34:09Emmy-winning TV journalist Bill Moyers served as press secretary in which presidential administration?
34:16Bill Clinton's, Jimmy Carter's, or Lyndon B. Johnson's?
34:21I don't think I could go back to the University of Georgia if I got this wrong,
34:25which might be a misleading way of saying this, but I do know Bill...
34:31the late, great Bill Moyers' special assistant, and he worked in the administration of Lyndon B. Johnson.
34:40Locking that in.
34:41Absolutely.
34:41The man knows his history, and your colleagues would have been very disappointed had you gotten it wrong.
34:46Lyndon B. Johnson is correct.
34:47Well done, Ashton.
34:49I know.
34:50Here, sir, is your 800-point question in the category of geography.
34:56From 1964 to 1982, Nelson Mandela was imprisoned on which island?
35:04Coiba Island, Governor's Island, or Robben Island?
35:09Once again, just searching in the recesses of my brain for something that rings a bell,
35:14and the only thing that is is maybe Robben Island.
35:18So, I'll go with that.
35:20Robben Island.
35:21Locking in on Robben Island.
35:24Let's see if you're right.
35:26You are indeed right, Robben Island.
35:29All right, champ.
35:30You need this.
35:31Mm-hmm.
35:31If you don't get this, Anand will move on to the final pursuit to play for $20,000.
35:37For 1,000 points in the category of geography.
35:42In Japan, which candy is commonly given to students before exams
35:47for good luck?
35:49Jolly Rancher, Kit Kat, or Swedish Fish?
35:56Hmm.
35:58Um, my sixth grade teacher used to give us Jolly Ranchers.
36:02That was in southern Illinois, not Japan.
36:05Swedish Fish, Swedish American.
36:08I know Kit Kats are huge in Japan.
36:12Let's go with Kit Kat.
36:13Lock it in.
36:14Locking in Kit Kat.
36:15Champ, let's see if you're right.
36:19Kit Kat is correct.
36:22So, Anand, if you don't get this question correct, Ashton will move on to the final pursuit to play for
36:28the money.
36:28For the win, 1,000 points in the category science and nature.
36:35Which fever medicine was originally marketed to children with the slogan for little hotheads?
36:42Was it Advil, Motri, or Tylenol?
36:49I'm not completely sure, but I think this is what my parents gave me when I had a fever.
36:55Hopefully they were doing the right thing.
36:58I'll go with Tylenol.
37:00Anand, for the win, let's see if you're right.
37:06Tylenol is correct.
37:07And congratulations, Anand.
37:09You are moving on to play for a chance at $20,000.
37:14Ashton, you were a strong champion, brother.
37:17And you're going home with $26,000.
37:20Not too bad.
37:21It was sincerely great to have you.
37:22You were a wonderful champion.
37:25Anand, would you join me here, please, at the center?
37:29When we come back, we'll see if Anand can conquer all six categories in the final pursuit,
37:34to win $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
37:48Welcome back.
37:50I'm here with Anand, who has just dethroned a really strong champion
37:54to make it here to the final pursuit for a chance to win $20,000.
38:03Anand, have you a family?
38:04Yeah, I'm married for three years now.
38:06Anything you want to do special should you win this money with your wife?
38:09Yeah, so on our first anniversary, my wife got us a map of the United States to fill in with
38:13pictures.
38:14And so, I think it would be really nice to use this money to visit all 50 states.
38:18That is an awesome idea.
38:21Well, all that stands between you and $20,000 are our six Trivial Pursuit categories.
38:27Right?
38:28You will have 45 seconds, and every correct answer will win you $1,000.
38:34And if you answer all six questions correctly within 45 seconds, you will win $20,000.
38:42Sounds good.
38:43To help you with your pursuit, I want you to choose the first category that you're going to play.
38:47I would like to play Science and Nature first. Hopefully I get off to a good start with it.
38:51If you are incorrect, you will be able to circle back to those categories, provided there's time remaining on the
38:58clock.
