00:31They're going to compete right now for $20,000.

00:55The three of you will be answering questions in our six iconic Trivial Pursuit categories, which of course are
01:01Entertainment, Geography, Sports & Leisure, Science & Nature, History, and Art & Literature.
01:09Correct answers players are worth 100 points and a wedge.
01:13And if you collect a wedge from all six categories, you will earn $1,000 for filling your wheel.
01:20The two players with the most points at the end will be moving on to the next round.
01:25Everybody ready? Oh, yeah. Sure am.
01:27Let the pursuit begin!
01:32To start things off, players, we have selected the first category, Art & Literature.

02:31In 1991, what Oscar-nominated actor asked us to feel the vibration on our number one hit song?
02:41Kelly.
02:42That would be Marky Mark or Mark Wahlberg.

02:49Let's go science and nature, please.
02:51What 2016 film told the true story of black female mathematicians at NASA who helped the space program lift off?

03:10John and Elizabeth Proctor were among those notably accused of witchcraft in what Massachusetts town?
03:18Kelly.
03:19That would be Salem, Massachusetts.
03:20Correct.
03:21We have a pretty good game.
03:23Michelle, you have zero points, however, and so we need to get you going.
03:27We're going to reload our six categories and see how many more points and wedges y'all can earn.
03:33Kelly, you got the last question correct, so you get to choose our next category.
03:38Let's go with science and nature, please.
03:40What acronym describes the gear worn by divers to explore underwater environments for extended periods?
03:48Kelly.
03:49Scuba.
03:50Self-contained underwater breathing apparatus, that's correct.
03:53Kelly, with that correct answer, you are one wedge away from filling your wheel and winning a $1,000 bonus,
04:02so let me ask you, where do you want to go?
04:05I think I'm going to go with sports and leisure.
04:07Also, the name of a popular alcohol brand.
04:10What is the term for a stamp or label on furniture that identifies its origin?
04:20Maker's Mark.
04:21Oh.

04:23Kelly, still in control.
04:25All right, let's go art and literature.
04:27What Pineapple Express star creates ceramic ashtrays for his cannabis company houseplant?
04:34Michelle.
04:35Seth Rogen.
04:36Correct.
04:37Michelle, it's good to see you on the board with 100 points and a wedge.
04:40You are in control.
04:41Please select.
04:42Let's go pink entertainment.
04:44What 1970s miniseries dramatized several generations of author Alex Haley's family?
04:52Rick.
04:53Roots.
04:54Roots.
04:55Roots is correct.
04:56Had you gotten that wrong, I'd have been very disappointed in your attention.
04:59I bet.
05:00Rick.
05:01I will take yellow history.
05:02Since 2006, what billionaire has been the CEO of America's largest bank, JPMorgan Chase?
05:11Jamie Dimon.
05:12Jamie Dimon.
05:13Jamie Dimon.
05:14Here is the final category this second time through the board players.
05:21Geography.
05:22South Africa's Cape Agoulas is the dividing point between the Atlantic and which other ocean?
05:30Michelle.
05:31The Indian Ocean.
05:32Correct.
05:33Michelle, it's good to see you on the board.
05:35Rick, you are just ahead of her by 100 points with 300, and Kelly with 500 points.
05:40So we're going to reload the categories one last time.
05:44And remember, this is your last chance, players, to earn points and wedges.
05:49Michelle, you are in control.
05:51What category would you like to select?
05:52I'll go to my favorite, pink for entertainment.
05:55What is the name of the AI villain at the center of Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning?
06:03Michelle.
06:04Oh, I think it is the entity or agent.

06:11Please select another category, Michelle.
06:13Art and literature, purple.
06:15What unconventional punctuation mark combines a question mark and an exclamation point?
06:22Oh.
06:23Rick.

06:28Well done, sir.
06:29Rick, you're in control.
06:30Please select.
06:31Okay, let's do blue geography.
06:34Coined by Auguste Spectorsky, what term describes a lower density area beyond the suburbs?
06:43Michelle.
06:44The experts?
06:45Correct.
06:46Michelle, you are in control.
06:48All right, let's do science and nature green, please.
06:52Here's the question, players.
06:54The Taurus and Little Fatty are among the instruments from what influential synthesizer brand?
07:00Rick.
07:01Moog.
07:02Moog.
07:03Moog is it.
07:04Two categories remaining players, and they are sports and leisure and history.
07:08I'll take yellow history.
07:10Who was the second and final person President Obama successfully nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court?
07:19Rick.
07:20Kagan?
07:21Correct.
07:22And here is the final question this last time through the board players.
07:27Sports and leisure.
07:28In the card game Uno, the four different color suits are numbered from zero to what number?
07:35Kelly.
07:36Nine.
07:37Nine is the number.
07:39Yes!
07:40And that sound, players, means that, Kelly, you have filled your wheel and will go home with $1,000.
07:49Woo!
07:50Congratulations.
07:52Moving on will be Kelly and Rick with 600 points apiece.
07:57Michelle, it was great having you play with us tonight.
08:00Thank you for being here.
08:02Coming up next, the pursuit continues as Kelly and Rick go head-to-head,
08:08with a chance to move on to play for $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
08:21Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
08:26Kelly and Rick have made it here to the next round, so let's get to know them a little bit better.
08:31Kelly, returning champion. Not easy to make it back here.
08:36It's not, but it feels great to be back here, LaVar.
08:39It's great to have you back. Rick, you're a high school teacher.
08:42That's right, LaVar. I'm a high school English teacher and a huge fan of you and Star Trek.
08:47I've managed to incorporate Star Trek into my classroom.
08:49One of the books we teach is George Takei's memoir, They Called Us Enemy.
08:53And so now, in the hallways, my students greet me with the Vulcan salute.
08:57It could be worse. They could salute you with another hand signed.
09:01I've gotten that one, too.
09:04All right, the best of luck to both of you.
09:06In this round, we're going to be answering multiple choice questions,
09:10working your way through the categories once again,
09:13but this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
09:20Now, you both selected the order of categories that you'll be playing,
09:24and you picked one category that you don't want to play.
09:28Kelly, I see that you elected not to play history,
09:32and, like the last game, you have selected entertainment as your 1,000-point question.
09:38If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
09:40Okay. I hope that strategy pays off.
09:42Me, too.
09:43And, Rick, I see that you've opted to skip entertainment,
09:47and you have chosen art and literature as your 1,000-point question.
09:52There is a lot of current pop culture and entertainment out there to keep up on,
09:57and I'm an English teacher, so literature is my wheelhouse.
10:00Thought I'd put it in the high value.
10:01Makes absolute sense.
10:04All right, whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round,
10:07we'll move on to play for $20,000.
10:12Y'all ready?
10:13I'm ready.
10:14Bring it on.
10:15All right, let the pursuit begin.
10:21You guys are all tied up.
10:22Rick, you're going to be going first since Kelly filled her wheel.
10:26For 200 points, here is your multiple-choice question in sports and leisure rig.
10:33What is Tiger Woods' actual first name?
10:37Cedric, Eldrick, or Rodrick?
10:41Well, I remember hearing that he got the nickname Tiger from, I think, one of his father's war buddies,
10:48but I know that his real first name is Eldrick, so I'm going to lock in Eldrick.
10:54Let's see if you're right.
10:56To his full name, Eldrick Taunt Woods.
10:59Okay, Kelly, for 200 points, here is your multiple-choice question in sports and leisure.
11:05Which type of hat is worn by Smokey the Bear?
11:11Bucket, campaign, or fedora?
11:15Well, I know what a bucket hat looks like because I've worn those.
11:19It's the only hat that fits my head.
11:21And I'm pretty sure Smokey the Bear does not wear a bucket hat.
11:24And a fedora is a little hat, and I don't even know what a campaign hat is.
11:28So, because I don't know what a campaign hat is, I'm going fedora.
11:40Let's see if you're right.
11:43He wears a campaign hat.
11:45Hmm.
11:46It's okay.
11:47Coming to you, Rick, for your 400-point question in the category Science and Nature.
11:54Due to its dense atmosphere, which is the hottest planet in our solar system?
12:00Mars, Mercury, or Venus?
12:05So, Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, so it would make sense that that was the hottest planet.
12:12But Venus has a very thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, which holds in all that heat.
12:19So, I'm going to lock in Venus.
12:21Rick, let's see if you're right.
12:24The high school teacher knows more than just English.
12:30Kelly, he's 600 points ahead of you.
12:32Yeah.
12:33Here is your 400-point question in the category Geography.
12:38Which of these Nordic capitals is furthest east?
12:42Copenhagen, Oslo, or Stockholm?
12:46Okay, well, I'm happy to say I know it's not Oslo, because one, I was just there, and two, I know it's not the furthest east.
12:52So, I know it's not Oslo.
12:54Stockholm is Sweden.
12:56Copenhagen is Denmark.
13:01I feel like Stockholm is furthest east.
13:04I'm going to say Stockholm.
13:06Kelly, let's see if you're right.
13:09Oh, thank God.
13:11Stockholm it is.
13:12Great deductive reasoning.
13:14Well done.
13:15Rick, you're 200 points ahead of Kelly.
13:18Here is your 600-point question in the category Geography.
13:23Established in 1872, which was the United States' first national park?
13:29Was it Shenandoah, Yellowstone, or Yosemite?
13:34When I saw the question, there were two options that popped into my head.
13:42And unfortunately for me, they're both up there.
13:45And it was Yellowstone or Yosemite.
13:48I am going to go with Yosemite as my answer.
13:52Let's see if you're right.
13:55Mmm.
13:57Here we go, champ.
13:58Here's an opportunity for you to surge ahead.
14:01Your 600-point question in the category Science and Nature.
14:06Which autonomous driving technology company was formerly known as Google Self-Driving Car Project?
14:14Cruise, Waymo, or Zoox?
14:19Oh, I don't like any of these answers.
14:21I also would never want to be in a self-driving car.
14:24Oh, gosh.
14:26The last two are just weird.
14:27And Zoox sounds really made up, so I don't think it's that one.
14:31And Waymo just sounds lame-o.
14:34So I'm going to go Cruise.
14:36Cruise sounds like a good answer.
14:38That's my final answer.
14:39Cruise.
14:40Let's see if you're right.
14:42Stop.
14:43All right.
14:44It's Waymo.
14:45All right.
14:46So, Rick, still 200 points ahead.
14:48Yep.
14:49Next category is History for 800 points.
14:53What was the name given to the female U.S. Army Signal Corps switchboard operators?
14:59Chatty Cathy's, Hello Girls, or Polly Plugs?
15:05Oh, boy.
15:06None of these are really jumping out at me.
15:09I mean, I've heard of a Chatty Cathy before, but it doesn't sound like something that I would
15:14associate with military switchboard operators.
15:18Hello Girls, I don't know, something that doesn't feel right to me either.
15:27I'm going to go with Polly Plugs as my answer.
15:31All right, Rick.
15:33Let's see if you're right.
15:35Mmm, it was indeed Hello Girls.
15:40Oh.
15:41Big opportunity right here for you, Kelly.
15:43Yeah.
15:44200 points separates you.
15:45Here is your 800-point question.
15:50Art and literature.
15:52Which H.G. Wells story features the humanoid races, the Eloi, and the Morlocks?
15:59Would that be The Invisible Man, The Island of Dr. Moreau, or The Time Machine?
16:05Well, this is actually one of my favorite movies.
16:08I tried teaching the book once, didn't go over too well, but the answer is The Time Machine.
16:12No doubt whatsoever.
16:15Rod Taylor at his finest.
16:18All right, Rick, you need this.
16:21Or else Kelly will win and move on to the final pursuit to play for the $20,000.
16:26For the English teacher, here is your 1,000-point question.
16:32In art and literature, what 1789 William Hill Brown book is widely considered to be the first American novel?
16:44Is it Charlotte Temple, The Power of Sympathy, or Uncle Tom's Cabin?
16:51Okay.
16:53The only one I can eliminate right off the bat is Uncle Tom's Cabin.
16:58That's much later and not written by William Hill Brown.
17:02I am just gonna, I mean, flip a coin, take a guess, and say Charlotte Temple as my answer.
17:10Let's see if you're right.
17:15The Power of Sympathy.
17:17Which means, Kelly, congratulations.
17:19You are going back to play for the $20,000.
17:23Rick, you've played a strong game, brother.
17:26Live long and prosper.
17:27Thank you, Lamar.
17:28Kelly, join me over here, won't you?
17:30I'd be happy to.
17:31When we come back, we'll see if Kelly can conquer all six categories in The Final Pursuit with $20,000 right here on Trivules.
17:44Welcome back, y'all.
17:54I'm here with Kelly, who outplayed her opponents and has made it back here to The Final Pursuit for another chance to win $20,000.
18:03Well, Kelly, what have you learned from playing the game before?
18:09Um, just to trust myself and rely on all of that knowledge that I've got tucked up in there somewhere.
18:15It's up there somewhere.
18:16It's up there somewhere.
18:17You just have to access it.
18:18That's right.
18:19All that stands between you and $20,000 are our six Trivial Pursuit categories, but this time, Kelly, you will have to play all six, okay?
18:30You will have 45 seconds, you'll earn $1,000 for each correct answer, and if you answer six questions correctly within the 45 seconds, you will win $20,000.
18:43That sounds awesome.
18:45Okay.
18:46Kelly, to help you on your pursuit, I want you to go ahead and pick the first category that you want to play.
18:52I'd like to start with entertainment.
18:54If you get any incorrect, we can circle back to those categories provided there's time left on the clock, okay?
19:00I'm ready.
19:01Let's do it.
19:02Time for your final pursuit.
19:03Let's do it.
19:04Let's put 45 seconds on the clock, y'all.

20:17Whoo!

20:22chance at more money.

28:30Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
28:32Liz and Kelly have made it here to the next round, so let's get to know them a little bit better.
28:38Kelly?
28:39Hello again.
28:40Are you having fun or is it just stress and pressure?
28:43Yeah, I am absolutely having a blast.
28:45It is awesome to be here and to share my love of trivia with so many awesome people.
28:50We're happy that you're here too.
28:52Liz, you are a boutique owner.
28:54What might I buy at your boutique?
28:56Anything related to beauty, so skin care, fragrance, body care, makeup, all the things.
29:02Because, you know, everybody likes to feel good about themselves and I like to help them.
29:05I'm in.
29:06I'm coming.
29:07I'm spending money.
29:08Perfect.
29:09Any day, the door is open.
29:11All right, the best of luck to both of you.
29:13Let's get back to the game.
29:14Now, in this round, we're going to be answering multiple choice questions, working your way through the categories once again.
29:21But, this time, ladies, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
29:30Now, you both selected the order and you picked one category that you didn't want to play at all.
29:36Liz, I see that you have elected not to play science and nature and you've selected history as your 1,000 point question.
29:44Yes.
29:45What's going on there?
29:46History, I love.
29:47I love it.
29:48I love knowing so much about the past because it really informs who we are today.
29:52Well said.
29:53Kelly, for the third time, you have chosen the exact same path.
29:59What up?
30:00It's my third time here, so why change what's worked for me already?
30:04And I'm really bad at history.
30:05Good reasons both.
30:07All right, ladies, whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round, we'll move on to play for $20,000.
30:14Are you both ready?
30:15Sure am.
30:16Let the pursuit begin.
30:22Kelly, our returning champion, is trailing by 200 points, so you'll be going first.
30:28For 200 points, Kelly, here is your multiple choice question in sports and leisure.
30:34Shaquille O'Neal played his final NBA game while a member of which franchise?
30:40Was it the Boston Celtics, Cleveland Cavaliers, or the Miami Heat?
30:46Okay.
30:47Well, I know that Shaquille O'Neal is very tall.
30:50That's about all I know about him.
30:52I'm, like, really sure he didn't play for the Boston Celtics.
30:55So I'm torn between the Cavaliers and the Miami Heat.
30:59You know, I think I am going to say the Miami Heat.
31:03That just feels like who he would have played for.
31:05Kelly, let's see if you're right.
31:07Okay.
31:08Ah!
31:09It was the Boston Celtics.
31:10Really?
31:11He played for the Heat, but he finished with the Celtics.
31:14All right.
31:15Liz, 200 points here in your multiple choice question in art and literature.
31:21Angelina Jolie played what opera soprano nicknamed La Divina in a 2024 Netflix biopic?
31:30Was that Maria Callas, Renata Tabaldi, or Teresa Berganza?
31:36So I did not see this biopic, but I do remember reading about it.
31:43I believe La Divina is Maria Callas, the great Greek soprano.
31:48So Maria Callas is my final answer.
31:50Okay, Liz.
31:51Let's see if you're right.
31:53Maria Callas is right, and you have extended your lead, Liz.
31:58Kelly?
31:59I can come back.
32:00I got this.
32:01You got your work cut out for you.
32:02That's right.
32:03I get this.
32:04We're tied.
32:05Your category is Geography for 400 points.
32:08El Dorado International Airport, named after a mythical city of gold, is located in which
32:14South American country?
32:16Would it be Colombia, Paraguay, or Venezuela?
32:20Oh, man.
32:21I don't like any of these answers.
32:25Just because all of them sound not right, I'm just going to pick Colombia.
32:29I'm going to pick Colombia, LaVar.
32:30All right, Kelly.
32:32Let's see if you're right.
32:33Okay.
32:34Yay!
32:35Okay.
32:36You have tied it up, Kelly.
32:37Coming for you, Liz.
32:38Pressure is on.
32:39Neck and neck, head to head.
32:42Here is your question for 400 points in the category of sports and leisure, Liz.
32:49Which company became the official outfitting partner of the UFC in 2021?
32:56Cageside, Tap Out, or Venom?
33:01Ooh, UFC.
33:03Not my thing.
33:05Now, I'm familiar with Tap Out.
33:07I've seen that before.
33:08I've never heard of Cageside or Venom, but it feels like UFC would totally partner with
33:16a company called Venom, spelled that way.
33:19So, my final answer is Venom.
33:23Liz, let's see if you're right.
33:25How?
33:26Indeed, you are right.
33:28Kelly, you got to keep pace here.
33:31Here is your 600-point question, the category of science and nature.
33:36Located in Sequoia National Park, the world's largest tree was named after whom?
33:44Was that General Grant, General MacArthur, or General Sherman?
33:50Hmm.
33:51General Grant, MacArthur, or Sherman?
33:55Well, they're all generals.
33:57Not sure which general the tree was named after for.
34:00But I feel like, I don't know, General Sherman is just talking to me.
34:05So, I'm going to go General Sherman.
34:07All right, Kelly, let's see if you're right.
34:11Ah!
34:12You heard what the general was saying.
34:15I sure did.
34:16Liz, coming to you now.
34:19Here is your 600-point question in the category of geography.
34:24Which is the only state to have a non-rectangular flag?
34:30Would that be Idaho, Ohio, or Vermont?
34:34Well, I used to live in this state, and I went to university in this state.
34:39So, I know that it is Ohio, final answer.
34:42OH?
34:43Oh, no.
34:44I did not go to Ohio State.
34:50I'm sorry.
34:51Okay.
34:53Your answer is Ohio, and you're sure about this?
34:56I am positive.
34:57All right, Liz.
35:00Back in the lead, Liz and Kelly.
35:02You know what you have to do.
35:03That's right.
35:04I've got to get them right.
35:05Here is your 800-point question.
35:08Art and literature.
35:10How many lines are in a sonnet?
35:13Seven, 14, or 21?
35:17I have to know this.
35:19I know a sonnet's not 21 lines, so I'm going to take that one out.
35:25I'm going to say a sonnet is 14 lines.
35:27I know there's Elizabethan sonnets, and I know that there's the other kind that I can't think of right now.
35:31But I'm, like, really pretty sure that there are 14 lines in a sonnet.
35:35Please be right.
35:36I'm saying 14, LaVar.
35:37Pretty sure it's 14 lines.
35:39Yeah.
35:40Please be right.
35:41Kelly, let's see if you're right.
35:4614 lines in a sonnet.
35:48The champ is keeping the pressure on you, Liz.
35:51She sure is.
35:52She sure is.
35:53Okay.
35:54Here is your 800-point question in entertainment.
35:59In 2025, which leading man earned his second Best Actor Oscar nomination for his role in Sing Sing?
36:07Was that Coleman Domingo, John David Washington, or Trevante Rhodes?
36:14Ooh.
36:16I am not sure.
36:17This one is stumping me.
36:20See, I don't think it's Trevante Rhodes.
36:25I think it is Coleman Domingo.
36:27That sounds familiar.
36:28I'm leaning that way.
36:30So I am going to say Coleman Domingo, final answer.
36:34Let's see if you're right.
36:37Coleman Domingo was nominated in back-to-back years 24 and 25.
36:43Kelly, if you do not get this correct, this will win and move on to the final pursuit.
36:51This is your 1,000-point question.
36:54The category, entertainment.
36:57What hit song from Destiny's Child sampled Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks, who also appeared in the music video?
37:05Was it Bootylicious, Jumpin', Jumpin', or Lose My Breath?
37:11Well, I feel like just because I want to say it, I'm going to say that it's Bootylicious.
37:19I don't know if that's the answer, but I want to say Bootylicious.
37:22That's it, LeVar.
37:23Bootylicious.
37:24Say it one more time.
37:25Bootylicious.
37:26All right.
37:27To stay in the game, Kelly, let's see if you're right.
37:29No!
37:30Say it with me.
37:31Bootylicious!
37:32All right, Liz.
37:33This is for the win, so you need this to move on to the final round.
37:42If not, Kelly's heading back there for the third time in a row.
37:48Here, Liz, is your 1,000-point question in the category of history.
37:55In which year did Apple release the first iPhone?
38:00Was it 2004, 2007, or 2010?
38:08This is really tough.
38:13I feel like I read this not that long ago.
38:20I am going to say 2007.
38:27To dethrone the champ, let's see if you're right.
38:32Oh!
38:35Congratulations, Liz.
38:37You are moving on to play for the $20,000.
