08:11Coming up next, the pursuit continues as Daniel and Julia go head-to-head with a chance to move on
08:17and play for $20,000.
08:19Right here on Trivial Pursuit.
08:33Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
08:36Daniel and Julia have made it here to the next round, so let's get to know them a little bit
08:41better.
08:42Julia, you are an archivist.
08:44What is it that you archive?
08:46So I'm an archivist, which means I help to preserve and make accessible people's stories.
08:50It can be your family history.
08:52It can be oral histories.
08:54Pretty much anything that you ever record can be considered for preservation in archives.
08:59I love that.
09:00Daniel, you were on fire in that round, brother.
09:03And by the way, Daniel, you scored the highest point total in that first round in the history of our
09:09game.
09:09Wow.
09:10Congratulations.
09:11Awesome.
09:12Best of luck to both of you.
09:13All right?
09:14In this round, you're going to be answering multiple choice questions, working your way through the categories once again.
09:20But this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
09:28Now, you both selected the order of the categories that you're going to be playing.
09:31And you picked one category that you didn't want to see come up this round at all.
09:36Daniel, I see you've elected not to play science and nature and selected art and literature as your 1,000
09:44-point category.
09:45Tell me about that strategy.
09:46So, I'm naturally pretty pale, so the sun is the enemy, so nature and the sun, I'll skip.
09:53And, Julia, you have elected not to play sports and leisure, and your 1,000-point go-to category is
10:01geography.
10:03Tell me about your strategy.
10:05So, LaVar, I'm a lady who knows a little bit about sports and a lot about leisure, but I'm just
10:10dreading any sort of baseball question, so I'm just knocking it right out right now.
10:14Excellent.
10:15Well, whichever one of you has the most points, at the end of this round, we'll move on to the
10:20final pursuit to play for $20,000.
10:23Y'all all right with that?
10:24Yeah.
10:25Okay.
10:25Then let the pursuit begin.
10:30Julia, you are trailing by 900 points, so you've got your work cut out for you.
10:35You'll be going first.
10:37For 200 points, here is your multiple-choice question, Julia, in art and literature.
10:42The making of another major motion picture masterpiece was the debut novel from which Oscar-winning actor?
10:51Was that Nicolas Cage, Robert Downey Jr., or Tom Hanks?
10:57Oh, my gosh.
10:58I will say I don't know this answer right off the bat, but thinking about someone who's a novelist, I
11:05think I would say Tom Hanks as my answer.
11:11Julia, let's see if you're right.
11:14Tom Hanks it is.
11:15Well done, Julia.
11:16Here we come, Daniel.
11:17Daniel, your multiple-choice question for 200 points in sports and leisure, sir.
11:24What is the official summer sport of Canada?
11:28Would that be field hockey, lacrosse, or rugby?
11:34So I think it got popular in the summer because, yeah, in the winter they play hockey, so I'm going
11:40to go with lacrosse.
11:41Daniel, let's see if you're right.
11:46Across it is.
11:47Here we go, Julia, for 400 points in the category Entertainment.
11:53In 2015, which TV host mistakenly announced the incorrect winner at the Miss Universe pageant?
12:02Was that Montel Williams, Steve Harvey, or Wayne Brady?
12:08I watched when this happened, and he was so mortified and apologetic afterward.
12:14This is Steve Harvey.
12:16Seems like you know it.
12:19Correct.
12:21Daniel, she's creeping up on you.
12:22500 points separate the two of you.
12:24Here then, sir, is your 400-point question in the category Entertainment.
12:30A viral spit-gate incident from the 2022 Venice Film Festival occurred during a screening for which Olivia Wilde film?
12:40Was that Booksmart, Don't Worry Darling, or Rush?
12:46So I'm pretty sure this had to do with, like, the Harry Styles, Chris Pine thing going on.
12:53So I'm going to go with Don't Worry Darling.
12:56He said with confidence.
13:01I'm right you are.
13:03All right, he's got 900 points on you, Julia.
13:06You're not out of the game yet.
13:08Let's keep your streak going.
13:10For 600 points in the category of Science and Nature,
13:16which letter designates potassium on the periodic table?
13:22K, S, or W?
13:26Yeah, this is one of those single-letter elements that it doesn't quite make sense to you when you're learning
13:32them,
13:33but I think this one is K for potassium.
13:35K.
13:37Julia, let's see if you're right.
13:41It doesn't make sense to me, but it makes sense to you.
13:44Well done, Julia.
13:45Daniel, for 600 points in the category Geography.
13:51Which of these cities is farthest west?
13:56Is it Minneapolis, New Orleans, or St. Louis?
14:02This one's a little bit tough.
14:03They're all kind of on the Mississippi River.
14:05Um, I think I'm going to have to go with, uh, St. Louis.
14:14Daniel, let's see if you're right.
14:19It is indeed Minneapolis.
14:21Julia, here is an 800-point question in the category of History.
14:26In 1929, the first Academy Awards were held at which storied Los Angeles Hotel?
14:35Was it the Beverly Hilton, the Biltmore, or the Hollywood Roosevelt?
14:41Oh, gosh.
14:43I'm not 100% sure on this one.
14:45Uh, for some reason, before the answers came up, the Beverly Hilton popped into my head.
14:49So I'm just going to go with my first instinct and say the Beverly Hilton.
14:54Julia, let's see if you're right.
14:57Hmm, the Hollywood Roosevelt was where that first Academy Awards took place.
15:02Daniel, if you get this, you will move on to the final round to play for $20,000
15:08because Julia will not be able to catch up.
15:12For 800 points in the category of History.
15:17Who was the only U.S. president to also serve on the U.S. Supreme Court?
15:24Was that Calvin Coolidge, John Tyler, or William Howard Taft?
15:31I'm going to go with the big guy.
15:34I think he, this is the job he always wanted.
15:36So I'm going to go William Howard Taft.
15:39Let's see if you're right.
15:43You called him the big guy.
15:46He did big things for you.
15:48Congratulations.
15:49You, Daniel, are the big guy and are now moving on to play for $20,000.
15:55Julia, you're a terrific player.

16:47Yeah, growing up, I would play Trivial Pursuit with friends and family and, you know, kind
16:52of just went from there.
16:53So have you thought about what you might do with $20,000 should you win this game today?

25:02When picking a four-digit PIN code, how many possible number combinations are there?

25:18Daniel, I ask you, which category would you like to choose?
25:22Let's try Orange Sports and Leisure.
25:26Five NFL teams have birds in their name.

26:47Message in a Bottle.
26:49And that's the end of the round, players.
26:51Well done.
26:53Congratulations, Daniel and Dimitri, with 800 and 500 respectively.
26:57Heather, you were right in there with 400 points.
26:59But, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to you.
27:02It was great having you play with us tonight.
27:05Coming up next, The Pursuit continues as Daniel and Dimitri go head-to-head for a chance to move on
27:11and play for $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
27:26Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
27:28Daniel and Dimitri have made it to the next round, so let's get to know them a little bit better.
27:34Daniel, here you are again.
27:36Yeah.
27:37Were you more nervous beginning this game or more nervous beginning the first game that you won?
27:43Probably the first game, but, you know, I can buy some Taylors with tickets now, so I'm okay.
27:48As long as there's Taylor in your future, you're good to go.
27:51Yeah, that's all it is.
27:52Dimitri, you're quite the trivia player.
27:54How did you prepare for coming here today?
27:58I actually host trivia nights.
28:01Wow.
28:01In Southern California, two nights a week, so I don't really play so much anymore, but I do get to
28:07watch other people play and host it and ask the questions and answers.
28:11Some would say I'm the LeVar of Southern California trivia nights.
28:15You know what?
28:16We look so much alike.
28:18All right.
28:19Well, let's hope that that serves you well, Dimitri.
28:23Best of luck to both of you.
28:24We're going to get back to the game now.
28:26In this round, you're going to be answering multiple choice questions.
28:30Gentlemen, working your way through the categories once again, but this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value
28:37from 200 to 1,000 points.
28:40Now, you've both selected the order of the categories that you're going to be playing, and you picked one category
28:46that you didn't want to come up in this round at all.
28:48Daniel, I see that you've elected not to play science and nature this time and selected art and literature as
28:55your 1,000-point question.
28:57You've switched it up since the last game.
28:59The last order didn't go as well as I wanted, so let's see if this works.
29:03So you've made a little tweak, huh?
29:05Yeah, a little bit.
29:06All right.
29:06Let's see if that works.
29:07And, Dimitri, I see that you have opted not to play sports and leisure, and your 1,000-point category
29:14is science and nature.
29:16Give me a clue as to your strategy there.
29:18Yeah, with sports, I feel the category, there's too many wild cards.
29:22I know a bit, but not enough.
29:24But science is way more straightforward, so that's my number one pick.
29:28A lot of time in dark bars, not watching sports on TV, but playing trivia.
29:32Exactly.
29:33Understood.
29:33But whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round will be moving on to
29:38the final pursuit to play for $20,000.
29:41Gentlemen, let the pursuit begin.
29:47Dimitri, you are trailing by 300 points, sir, so you will be going first.
29:52For 200 points, Dimitri, is your multiple-choice question in the category Art and Literature.
30:00What 1980s graffiti artist created works like Radiant Baby and Crack is Whack?
30:06Would that be Dondi, Futura 2000, or Keith Haring?
30:12That is a tough question.
30:14Good thing I put this as my first one.
30:17I'm going to take a stab in the dark.
30:20I'm just going to go for it.
30:21I'm going to say Dondi.
30:23Dimitri, let's see if you're right.
30:26It's Keith Haring.
30:28All right, Daniel, chance for you to put a little distance between you and Dimitri.
30:33Here is your 200-point multiple-choice question, sir, in the category Sports and Leisure.
30:40How many feet long is a regulation NBA basketball court?
30:46Is it 74, 84, or 94?
30:52Hmm.
30:53Also a tough question.
30:54I'm glad I put it lower, but I think it's 84.
31:01I'll go with 84.
31:03Daniel, let's see if you're right.
31:0894.
31:09Dimitri, here is your 400-point question, sir, in the category Geography.
31:16The ruins of ancient Babylon are located in which modern-day country?
31:23Is that Iraq, Saudi Arabia, or Syria?
31:28That is a great question.
31:31It's either Iraq or Syria.
31:35That is a good question.
31:4050-50 shot here.
31:44I'm going to go with Iraq.
31:47Dimitri, let's see if you're right.
31:51Daniel, 100 points separate the two of you now.
31:54For 400 points, here is your multiple-choice question in the category of Geography.
32:02In which Nordic country was the audio streamer Spotify founded?
32:08Would that be Denmark, Finland, or Sweden?
32:13Well, I believe it's one of those three.
32:17I'm pretty sure I think it's Sweden, but pretty music-crazy.
32:23Let's go with Sweden.
32:25Daniel, let's see if you're right.
32:29Sweden it is, sir.
32:31Dimitri, here, sir, is a 600-point question for you in the category History.
32:37Which common pizza topping did ancient Europeans believe could summon scorpions?
32:43Was it basil?
32:45Black olives or mushrooms?
32:49Uh, what a history question.
32:51Um...
32:53Uh, I'm not going to go with black olives.
32:58I'm not going to go with mushrooms.
33:00I'm going to go with basil.
33:02Dimitri, let's see if you're right.
33:06Basil it is.
33:08Daniel, 300 points separate the two of you.
33:11Here, sir, is a 600-point question for you.
33:15Your category of entertainment.
33:18Who played harmonica on Elton John's hit single, I guess that's why they call it the blues?
33:24Was it Huey Lewis, Muddy Waters, or Stevie Wonder?
33:29I'm not totally sure.
33:31Muddy Waters is a blues artist, but I'm not sure if he plays the harmonica.
33:36I know Stevie Wonder does.
33:38Mmm.
33:40Let's just go.
33:43Let's go Muddy Waters.
33:46Daniel, let's see if you're right.
33:51Stevie Wonder.
33:54Dimitri, here's an opportunity for you, sir.
33:57Here, then, is an 800-point question for you.
34:00The category is entertainment.
34:03In 2024, which Sesame Street character did Larry David choke on the Today Show?
34:11Did he choke Elmo, Ernie, or Grover?
34:16I, uh, I do remember this.
34:19Um, it was not Grover, it was not Ernie, it was Elmo.
34:24Dimitri, we're going to see if you're right.
34:29He choked, and he didn't tickle him.
34:32Larry David.
34:34All right, Daniel, he's taking a sizable lead here.
34:38You need to get this question correctly.
34:40For 800 points in your chosen category of history,
34:45Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico's victory
34:48over which country in the Battle of Puebla?
34:52Is that France, Portugal, or the United States?
34:58Um, I believe I do know this one.
35:01Um, and, uh, yeah, when you celebrate, you know,
35:04your Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo,
35:06it was a battle against France.
35:09Daniel, if you're incorrect, Dimitri will move on
35:13because you won't be able to catch up with him.
35:17Let's see, Daniel, if you're correct.
35:22Booyah, France it is.
35:24Dimitri, you can win it all right here, right now.
35:30Here, Dimitri, is a question worth a thousand points
35:35in science and nature.
35:38Which term is used to refer to pain of the thumb,
35:41hand, or wrist from excessive use of video game controllers?
35:47Is it Nintendometriosis, Nintendonitis,
35:52or Nintendopathy?
35:55Mm.
35:57Uh, although Nintendometriosis kind of has my name in it,
36:01I'm not going with that one.
36:03Uh, it's not Nintendopathy.
36:07I'm gonna go with Nintendonitis.
36:09Sounds cool.
36:11For the win.
36:13Let's see if you're right.
36:19Congratulations.
36:20Thumbs up to you, Dimitri.
36:21You are moving on to play for a chance at $20,000.
36:26Daniel, you are a terrific champion.
36:29Really set some records here.
36:30Thank you for coming and playing our game with us.
36:33And you, sir, are going home with $21,000.
36:39Not that.

36:45Yes, I will.
