00:01From the Alex Rebeck stage at Sony Pictures Studios, this is Jeopardy!
00:13Here are today's contestants.
00:17A research assistant from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Maggie Fauché.
00:22A sales operations director from Marietta, Georgia, Mikey Labasco.
00:28And our returning champion, a bureaucrat and law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, Jamie Ding, whose 16-day cash winnings
00:38total $462,401.
00:45And now, here is the host of Jeopardy, Ken Jennings.
00:51Thank you, Johnny Gilbert.
00:53And welcome to a new week here on Jeopardy!
00:56On Friday's show, our 16-game super champion, Jamie Ding, reached a new level of success here on the Alex
01:02Rebeck stage.
01:03As his name was added among those of the all-time greats on the leaderboard of legends.
01:07In not one, but two categories.
01:09Jamie is now ranked 10th all-time for most consecutive games won.
01:12And he's number eight in terms of regular season money winnings.
01:16Now, that's a huge achievement for Jamie, obviously.
01:18But as every other player on that leaderboard has learned at one point or other in the past, all Jeopardy!
01:23runs come to an end sometime.
01:25And Mikey and Maggie are here today, hoping today is that day.
01:28Good luck, players.
01:29Jeopardy! round is up first.
01:30Let's see what your categories are.
01:33We begin with author's lesser known works.
01:36Then, new to the OED, we have baseball with a B.
01:42You can sail.
01:44The Seven Seas.
01:46Where else? In the Navy.
01:48Jamie, where to?
01:49The Seven Seas for 800.
01:51A U-shaped boundary dubbed the Nine Dash Line depicts hotly contested territorial disputes in this sea.
01:59Jamie?
01:59What does the South China Sea?
02:00That is the sea.
02:02Baseball for 1,000.
02:04Statistic charged to a closing relief pitcher who enters with a lead and then gives it up, potentially losing the
02:09game.
02:09Jamie?
02:10What is a blown save?
02:11Good for 1,000.
02:12New to the OED for 600.
02:14Let's go do this and see if we can find some awesome items in a second-hand discount shop.
02:20Mikey?
02:20What is thrifting?
02:21Right.
02:22Baseball 800.
02:23When a batter crowds the plate, a pitcher might throw one of these, less menacing than a beanball, to move
02:29him away.
02:30Maggie?
02:30What is an inside pitch?
02:32No.
02:33Mikey?
02:33What is a brush-off pitch?
02:35Yes, or brush-back?
02:36Baseball 600.
02:38This hyphenated type of brawl has every player out of both dugouts onto the field.
02:43Jamie?
02:44What is a bench-clearing brawl?
02:45Yes.
02:46You can sail for 1,000.
02:47If GPS fails you, it's good to know this mortal method of figuring out where you are using speed and
02:53time to calculate distance.
02:55Jamie?
02:56What is dead reckoning?
02:57That's correct.
02:57In the Navy for 800.
02:59Before his fittingly titled Blue Train album, this jazz legend played alto sax in the Melody Masters, a swing band
03:06in the Navy.
03:07Maggie?
03:07Who is Parker?
03:08No.
03:09Mikey?
03:10Who is Davis?
03:10Also incorrect.
03:13Jamie?
03:13Shaking his head.
03:14That's John Coltrane, who is in the Navy.
03:16Back to you, Jamie.
03:17New to the OED for 1,000.
03:19From a Quechua word, this plant and the psychedelic drink made from it.
03:24Maggie?
03:25What is ayahuasca?
03:26Right.
03:27OED 800.
03:28This two word term for restoring a computer or smartphone to the state in which it came off the production
03:34line.
03:35Mikey?
03:35What is factory reset?
03:37Yes.
03:37Baseball 4.
03:38It's a screen or barrier behind the catcher.
03:41It can also mean the catcher.
03:43Maggie?
03:44What is backstop?
03:45Yes.
03:46Baseball 200.
03:47It's a statistical summary of a game in table form found in newspaper or online sports sections.
03:54Jamie?
03:54What's the box score?
03:55Yes, it is.
03:56Seven seas for 400.
03:58The Ross Sea and the Weddell Sea give this place a somewhat pear-shaped look.
04:03Jamie?
04:03Or it's Antarctica.
04:04You're right.
04:05You can sail for 800.
04:07Remember, knots measure speed.
04:09These, NM for short, measure distance traveled through water.
04:13Maggie?
04:13What are nautical miles?
04:15That's right, putting you in positive territory.
04:17Seven seas, 600.
04:18Answer.
04:18A daily double for you.
04:20Look at that.
04:22You can wager up to $1,000 here, Maggie.
04:251,000, please.
04:26All right.
04:26You'll have 1,600.
04:27And second place, if you're right, in the seven seas.
04:31Somalia, Pakistan, and India all surround this sea, the northwest part of the Indian Ocean.
04:38What is the Bengal Sea?
04:39No, I'm afraid not.
04:40It's the Arabian Sea.
04:42So you lose $1,000 there, but it's still early in the game, Maggie.
04:45Lots of time and lots more Jeopardy! to come.
04:48We'll be right back in just a moment.
04:51Maggie Fauche of Pittsburgh is a research assistant and, I understand, a legacy hire here at Jeopardy!
04:57You're not the first Jeopardy! contestant in your family.
04:59That's correct.
05:00My dad was on the show in the early 90s, so we grew up playing trivia with him at the
05:04dinner table.
05:05He won a couple lovely glass coffee tables and then a 45 of the Weird Al song I Lost on
05:10Jeopardy! from his friends.
05:12That was not part of the official prize.
05:14We don't have the coffee tables anymore.
05:16Did he give you any advice?
05:18He kept texting me things to study.
05:20He said, have you looked up this category?
05:21Have you looked at the Bible?
05:22You know, geography?
05:23All sorts of things.
05:24Classic dads.
05:24Absolutely.
05:24Just making you worried about things you weren't even worried about.
05:27I love it.
05:27Does it best.
05:28Well, good luck.

05:31A sales operations director who has been planning this day for quite some time.
05:36You've wanted to be on Jeopardy! for a while.
05:38Yeah, my first job out of college, I had some managers who used to train me for this.
05:42I was cold calling IT security people.
05:44I didn't really like doing that.
05:45I don't do that anymore.
05:46Right.
05:46But I was good at being the trivia guy.
05:48And so, Bouch, JT, I promised guys I'd shout you out.
05:52We made it.
05:52The group text, we did it.
05:54About 12 years later, we made it.
05:55Congratulations.
05:56I'm glad they're watching to see how you do.
05:58Jamie Ding is our champion.
06:00You've now responded to hundreds of clues here on the Alex Trebek stage.
06:03Last week, you responded to one about your childhood hero.
06:07Who was that?
06:07It was Thomas Edison.
06:08Why Edison?
06:09I think in second grade, I read, like, a young biography of him.
06:13And I was really impressed by his, you know, hard work and all of his inventions.
06:18Are you working on inventing anything, Jamie?
06:20I have to ask.
06:21No.
06:21He got, what, over 1,000 patents, and I'm at zero.
06:25And it also turns out he was a horrible husband and horrible father.
06:28I'd prefer to avoid that.
06:30So you want the patents, but you're going to be a better family man?
06:32I hope so.
06:32I love it.
06:33Maggie, it's your board right now.
06:35Pick up your signaling device and make a selection.

09:44mythical menagerie.
09:45From there, we go to astronomy and space science.

17:10But all three of you will be facing this clue in Final Jeopardy.

17:37You have 30 seconds, players.
17:39Good luck.
17:39good luck.
17:40Good luck.
17:54Good luck.
17:55Good luck.
17:56Good luck.
17:56Good luck.
17:57Good luck.
17:58No, definitely not.
18:02Good luck.
18:08My answer is that.
18:09Mikey Lobosco finished in third place with $3,000.
18:12What islands did you come up with, Mikey?
18:15We have Iceland and Greenland.
18:17I'm afraid those are not the right islands.
18:19What did you wager?
18:20You'll lose $2,316, leaving you with $684.
18:25Maggie Fauché was in second place with $7,400.
18:28Her responses were Australia and Tasmania,
18:31and I'm afraid that's not correct either.
18:33Maggie, you wagered $1,400.
18:35That'll drop you down to $6,000.
18:37Like your dad in the 90s, you may finish in second place today
18:40because Jamie Ding had $44,200 heading into final.
18:43What islands did he think of?
18:45Big and little diame in the Aleutians, right?
18:48I have heard about plans of putting a bridge across the Bering Strait,
18:51but this is a different one.
18:52This is a long-mooted idea to put a bridge between Britain and Ireland,
18:56which would cost ÂŁ335 billion.
18:59Probably one reason it hasn't happened.
19:01So your score is going to drop a little, Jamie.
19:02What did you wager?
19:03You'll lose, wow, $12,589,
19:06but you still finished with $31,611 today
19:09and now a 17-game total of $494,012.
19:15He just keeps going.
19:16How will it end?
19:18We may find out at some point.
19:19Join us tomorrow on Jeopardy.
