08:10Coming 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 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
08:33Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
08:36Daniel and Julia have made it here to the next round.
08:39So let's get to know them a little bit better.
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?
09:14Daniel, in 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.
09:27Now, you both selected the order of the categories that you're going to be playing, and you picked one category
09:33that 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
10:19final 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,
11:04I think I would say Tom Hanks.
11:08That's my answer.
11:10Julia, let's see if you're right.
11:14Tom Hanks, it is.
11:15Well done, Julia.
11:16Here we come, Daniel.
11:18Your multiple-choice question for 200 points in sports and leisure, sir.
11:23What is the official summer sport of Canada?
11:28Would that be field hockey, lacrosse, or rugby?
11:34So, I think, um, got popular in the summer because, yeah, in the winter they play hockey, so I'm gonna
11:40go with lacrosse.
11:43Daniel, let's see if you're right.
11:46Lacrosse it is.
11:47Here we go, Julia, for 400 points in the category entertainment.
11:52In 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 gonna 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, Julie.
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?
13:21K, S, or W?
13:26Yeah, this is one of those single-letter elements
13:28that it doesn't quite make sense to you when you're learning them,
13:32but I think this one is K for potassium.
13:35K.
13:37Julie, 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.
14:18It is indeed Minneapolis.
14:21Julia, here is an 800-point question in the category of history.
14:28In 1929, the first Academy Awards were held
14:31at which storied Los Angeles hotel?
14:35Was it the Beverly Hilton, the Biltmore,
14:38or 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,
14:48the Beverly Hilton popped into my head.
14:49So I'm just going to go with my first instinct
14:51and say the Beverly Hilton.
14:54Julia, let's see if you're right.
14:57Hmm, the Hollywood Roosevelt
14:59was where that first Academy Awards took place.
15:02Daniel, if you get this,
15:04you will move on to the final round
15:07to 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
15:20to also serve on the U.S. Supreme Court?
15:24Was that Calvin Coolidge,
15:27John Tyler,
15:28or William Howard Taft?
15:31I'm going to go with the big guy.
15:33I 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
15:50and are now moving on to play for $20,000.
15:55Julia, you're a terrific player.
15:58It was great having you here with us tonight.
15:59Well done.
16:01Daniel, would you like to join me
16:03over here in the center, sir?
16:05When we come back,
16:06we'll see if Daniel here can conquer
16:07all six categories in the final pursuit

16:27who has just outplayed his opponents
16:29and has made it here

16:36Whoo!
16:38He dominated the first round
16:40and the second round,
16:41and now here you are, sir.
16:43Tell me, you've got a passion for trivia.
16:46Where does that come from?
16:47Yeah, growing up,
16:49I would play for a pursuit
16:50with friends and family
16:51and, you know,
16:52kind of just went from there.
