01:34Then, more than a fever dream, the WNBA.

01:47Robin Thede, you'll make the first selection.
01:48Uh, let's start with a little alliteration for 100.
01:52In 2006, Ludacris urged us to shake your, this two-word term, uh, currency creator, in other words.

02:01Shake your moneymaker.
02:02Uh, let's stay with a little alliteration, 200.
02:06It means having the right tone or style.
02:09It's also the title of a film franchise with Anna Kendrick.
02:12Patton.
02:13What is pitch perfect?
02:14You got it.
02:15Uh, let's do graphic novels and comics for 100.
02:17Can't believe it took you this long, Patton.
02:19Uh, I, I don't want to make it too obvious.
02:22In Art Spiegelman's World War II allegory, Mouse, Jews are depicted as mice, so Germans are these animals.

03:20Nice job.
03:23You don't read comics, do you, Patton?
03:25I enjoy the occasional funny book.
03:28Um, uh, I'll do a little alliteration for 300, please.
03:32Back to a little alliteration.
03:34To have this final moment of mirth means to succeed after failing.
03:38Patton.
03:39What is the last laugh?
03:40Right.
03:41Little alliteration, 400, please.

04:43Right.
04:44Uh, gallivanting around Europe for 300, please.

04:51for that of this Disney princess.

04:54Who's Cinderella.
04:55Yes, or Sleeping Beauty.
04:56Oh.
04:57Depending on which park.
04:58I'm so confused right now.
05:00Okay, um, I'll take gallivanting around Europe for 400.
05:03If you're looking to get medieval, head to Bruges in this country.

05:10Margaret.
05:10What is Belgium?
05:11Bruges is in Belgium.
05:12Yes, that takes you to 500.
05:14Tied for second place.
05:14And it brings us to a quick break.
05:16But there is much more Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars on tap.
05:19So stay tuned.
05:20Oh!
05:21Your button is deadly!
05:23Boom!
05:24Deadly!
05:25Boy.
05:26It's digital madness.
05:29Legendary comedian and actress Margaret Cho is with us.
05:31Originally from San Francisco, California.
05:33You were very impressive last time on the Alex Trebek stage.
05:37I remember the big wagers.
05:39You wagered over 18,000 once on a single clue.
05:42Yes, yes.
05:43What was that all about, Margaret?
05:44Well, you know, I won one and then I didn't win one.
05:48And then I lost everything.
05:49So pride goeth before the fall.
05:51But now it's something that I've become known for.
05:54Like, letting it all.
05:56So I appreciate that as well.
05:57Tell us about the charity you're playing for, Margaret.
05:59I'm playing for Friendly House.
06:01I'm so proud to play for them again.
06:02They're a wonderful organization.
06:04They help women who are experiencing addiction.
06:07And from whatever financial background,
06:09you know, there's a lot of people who can't afford treatment.
06:11So we'll take care of that for them.
06:12And so I got to win a lot of money for them
06:15with my daily doubling last time.
06:17And so I'm so grateful that they let me do it again.
06:20Let's win them some more money.
06:21Thank you, Margaret.
06:22Congratulations on your success.
06:24And thank you for being back.
06:26Patton Oswalt, an actor and comedian
06:28originally from Sterling, Virginia.
06:30It turns out.
06:31And a very distinguished Celebrity Jeopardy player as well.
06:34You were a finalist back in season one.
06:36I was a finalist in season one.
06:38With the bad luck of going up against...
06:41Ike...
06:42Barenholtz.
06:44Hang on.
06:46Doing some breathing exercises.
06:48Okay.
06:48I'm back.
06:49I...
06:50What's it like to be back?
06:51Ike's not here this game.
06:52No, he's not.
06:54Um, no.
06:55It's great being back.
06:56This is a really fun game to play.
06:58I've been a Jeopardy nerd for a long time.
07:01So any...
07:01Any chance to come back here and play is fine for me.
07:04I love it.
07:05Love it.
07:05Think back to your first run.
07:06Is there anything you're extra proud of?
07:08What are the good memories that don't have Ike in them?
07:10You know what?
07:10Pre-Ike, uh, on a pre-Ike show...
07:13My whole life is pre and post-Ike Barenholtz.
07:15Um, I swept the Gloomy Authors category.
07:21Gloomy Authors?
07:22Gloomy Authors.
07:23Leopardi, uh, Charita, uh, Lovecraft, Dahl, and Beckett.
07:29I-I got all five of them.
07:31Mwah!
07:31Is this really your vibe?
07:33Did you know you were a Gloomy Authors guy?
07:35When I saw the category Gloomy Authors, I was like,
07:37I think this is gonna be my comfort zone.
07:40Cause that's-yeah, that's my whole thing.
07:42I'm just-I'm always down those rabbit holes.
07:44What charity are you playing for tonight, Patton?
07:46I am playing for, uh, an amazing charity called Alice's Kids.
07:49And what they do is provide, uh, money and experiences
07:52for underprivileged kids, uh, in middle and high school.
07:56And more importantly, they go-they make sure to do it anonymously.
08:00There's a lot of poverty-shaming in this country.
08:02Yeah.
08:02And so they're going out of their way not only to give these kids an experience,
08:05but to let them experience a childhood,
08:08which I think is so beautiful, what they do.
08:10What a wonderful organization.
08:12Yeah.
08:12Thank you, Patton.
08:15And Robin Beattie, another actor-comedian.
08:18Three actor-comedians.
08:18Yes, we did it.
08:20Wow.
08:20I don't know what's gonna happen with three comedians on this stage.
08:22This could be trouble.
08:23You are originally from Davenport, Iowa.
08:25I'm learning fun facts about everyone.
08:27Yep.
08:27And another Celebrity Jeopardy! finalist.
08:30Yay!
08:30You were very successful in season three.
08:32Is there any particular moment of last season's Celebrity Jeopardy! that stands out to you?
08:36You know, it was a season of highs and lows.
08:38My first quarter-final round, I answered, I don't know, three dozen questions without any incorrect answers.
08:44No incorrect responses in the whole game.
08:46Yeah.
08:47So I was really proud of that.
08:48And then I got all the way to the finals and, uh, had the most money and everything.
08:53And then Kamau Bell beat me on that last question.
08:58It was a question about the Newhart final.
09:01And the answer was Bob Newhart.
09:03And I had a total moment and wrote Norman Lear.
09:07And we'll never live that down.
09:09Because my dad is a massive Bob Newhart fan.
09:12So, yeah, he, uh, he let me know that wasn't great.
09:16Well, there's no shame in losing to Kamau, who knew his comedy history as well.
09:19And he is, he is a very good encyclopedia of comedy.
09:23So I shouldn't feel bad.
09:24And you now have a second chance at the Alex Trebek stage.
09:26That's right.
09:27Welcome back and good luck.
09:28What charity are you playing for?
09:30So this time I'm playing for Black Girls Code, which is an amazing organization that helps young women,
09:35college-age and young professional women of color, uh, with community fellowships, scholarships,
09:41in coding, AI, all sorts of STEM occupations.
09:45So in kind of a homogenous male-dominated field, I'm excited to support their program.
09:48I love that.
09:49Let's win these great organizations some money.
09:54Pick up your signaling devices, you three.

18:00We need to pause for a second, but we will be right back.
18:02Celebrity Jeopardy All-Stars will continue.
18:13Margaret, all three of you are playing so well.
18:15I mean Patton's buzzer kung fu is pretty good, but you're all shooting the lights out.
18:19It's a formidable panel of players.
18:22Everybody's so good.
18:23What do you, how do you feel about playing against these two?
18:25Um, I feel like I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm underwater, but I'm trying to stay afloat.
18:30No.
18:31And we still have Triple Jeopardy to come.
18:33That's right.
18:33So much cash on the board after this.
18:34So many things.
18:35So this could still go any which way.
18:37That's right.
18:37You came here directly from the road, right?
18:39Yes.
18:39Because you have this, uh, roving tour Choligarchy.
18:43Choligarchy.
18:43That's so good.
18:45Tell me about your project.
18:46It's, I'm touring, I'm talking all about politics and how we need to take our country back.
18:51And so I, I feel like this is a really important time to do it.
18:54I think comedy got us into this.
18:56So comedy will get us out of this.
18:57So I'm going for it.
18:59You're taking on the responsibility.
19:01I am.
19:01I am.
19:02You also have a box set coming out.
19:04Yes.
19:04It's at, it's called Best in Cho.
19:06It's about 40 years of standup comedy.
19:09So it's all.
19:10It can't be 40 years.
19:10Yes.
19:11Yes.
19:11It's all of my comedy and all of my specials and everything.
19:14It's, it's, it's really incredible to have this body of work.
19:17So I feel like, I don't know who has box sets.
19:19Like Tchaikovsky, Wagner.
19:21I feel like Wagner.
19:22I feel, you know, I'm, it's give, it's giving Chopin.
19:25Yeah.
19:25It's really giving.
19:26And they didn't have a funny pun like Best in Cho.
19:29No.
19:29I mean, you're kicking Chopin's butt.
19:31I'm.
19:31Well, he could have had to get Best in Cho Pat.
19:34I think he did.
19:35Yeah.
19:35Yeah.
19:36He didn't think of it.
19:37Or maybe it doesn't work in Polish.
19:38I, I, maybe.
19:39I'm not sure.
19:40Yeah.
19:40Well, you're doing great.
19:42Speaking of the competition here.
19:43Mm.
19:44Patton.
19:44I understand you still get recognized, not just from your amazing body of work, but
19:48specifically from Celebrity Jeopardy.
19:51I get recognized all the time for losing to Ike Barinholtz.
19:57People love to remind me that I lost to Ike Barinholtz by one dollar.
20:02They're not being mean about it.
20:04They're like, oh man, I'm, you and Ike Barinholtz and it came down to a dollar.
20:07Like, do you still think about that?
20:10I'm just like, absolutely not.
20:11No.
20:12And I'm really happy that he's doing great.
20:14And I'm seeing him on TV all the time being nominated for Emmys and just being ubiquitous.
20:19And everywhere I turn, there's Ike.
20:21Yeah.
20:22I'm always so happy to see that.
20:23So.
20:24Is there any chance that Ike is like paying these people to come up and traumatize you
20:28by reminding you of your game?
20:30I gotta say, knowing what I know of Ike, if I found out later that is what he was doing,
20:35I think that would not surprise me.
20:37He is playing a long game on a lot of levels.
20:40Maybe he sees me as competition in 10 years.
20:43So start eating away at my spirit now.
20:45I'm leaving.
20:46I gotta go find Ike.
20:48I'm sure he's not doing that.
20:50All right.
20:51Okay.
20:51I very much doubt it.

21:55No.
21:55And I'm trying to be very serious and warrior-like on Jeopardy.

22:54I don't want to spoil anything.
22:55Yes, Bigfoot is singing his face off.
22:57Because I don't want to go to some waiting for Godot.

35:19Well, looky what we have here, Robin.
35:21Woo!
35:25Daily Double.
35:26You have 10,200 to risk and you can see Patton's lead.
35:30Do a true Daily Double!
35:33Do a true one, come on!
35:37Should I?
35:38Uh, uh, audience, you have nothing to lose.
35:43Um, uh, uh, I don't know, 6,000!

36:04The crowd was right!
36:05Yeah!
36:06Yeah!
36:07I can't have met it all!
36:08You have $16,200 and you just ran a colourful category, Robin.
36:13Five for five.
36:14Very nice.
36:14All right.
36:15Well, let's go to Founding Celebrity, 300.
36:18That's all we have left.
36:19Whether you spell it the normal way or the way those crazy Brits do,
36:23this unit of measurement equals a little over a quart.
36:26Patton.

36:59Andy, on the office, was part of a punningly named a cappella group
37:03known as Here Comes This High Pitch.
37:08It's an appropriately bad pun for an a cappella group.
37:11Here comes treble.
37:12That's right.
37:13Oh.
37:13Here's the final clue in Found in Celebrity.
37:16This stringed instrument of ancient times was a symbol of Apollo,
37:20a god of music.
37:22Patton.
37:22There's a lyre?
37:23Lyre is correct, but that only takes you to 32,800.
37:26Robin and Margaret are still in this.
37:28This is not over.
37:29Let's see what category awaits you three.
37:33American Names.
37:35Make your wagers.
37:36We're going to pause, but we'll be right back.
37:37You're watching Celebrity Jeopardy All-Stars, and it's a good one.
37:45Welcome back to Celebrity Jeopardy All-Stars.
37:47Only one of these three great comedians can advance.
37:50The final Jeopardy category tonight is American Names.
37:53Let's show them the clue.
37:55In Ashland County, Ohio, you can find the last living tree planted by this 19th century man.
38:0230 seconds, All-Stars.
38:04Good luck.
38:04good luck.
38:05100MM
38:33Pew â
38:34We'll begin with Margaret Cho. Got that true daily double under her belt. Has $11,000.
38:40What response did she write down? Who is Johnny Appleseed? Yes, planting apple trees all over
38:47the frontier. How much will you add, Margaret? You wagered, ooh, all $11,000. Big bet again,
38:52taking you to $22,000. Robin Thede was in second place with $17,700. Did she have Johnny Appleseed
39:01on her mind? She's right. Did she bet big as well? She sure did. She doubles up to $35,400.
39:08You're now in first place, Robin. You have backed Patton Oswalt up against the wall. He needs to
39:13get this right. Patton, do you have Johnny Appleseed? He got it. Did he risk enough?
39:20Another big wager, $15,000, takes him to $47,800. And Patton Oswalt, you are a Celebrity Jeopardy
39:27All-Stars semi-finalist. What a great game, all three of you. Robin and Margaret, $30,000
39:35will go to each of your charities. Thank you for being here tonight. Patton, well played.
39:39Thank you. We will see you in the semis. And we will see you back on the Alex Trebek stage
39:44next time on Celebrity Jeopardy All-Stars. Good night.
39:48Did you know the latest episodes of Jeopardy are now streaming on Hulu?
39:53Patton, you wind up with $47,800. That is the highest score we have seen so far in this
39:58season. That's an impressive total. I'll take it.
40:02You had a great game, sir. Thank you. There's no two ways about it. But these two were really
40:07pushing it. They found Daily Doubles in the third round.
40:09They found Daily Doubles and went for it. They went for it.
40:13Yeah. It was amazing.
40:15Robin, you were considering going for the true Daily Double in a colorful category.
40:19Yeah. Should have done it. Color purple. I mean, it's easy now that you've seen it.
40:23Yeah, it's easy now. That's what I was saying. In hindsight, it's always like, oh, I should
40:25have done it. But I still did a bigger wager than I was probably comfortable with.
40:30Robin, I'm not your therapist. You don't have to defend yourself to me. You played great.
40:34What a fantastic game. And you as well, Margaret. I mean, you got burned on that one Daily Double
40:39and rarely do we see players go back. But you were going to do it again.
40:42Yes, I did. I mean, I have to. I'm a glutton for punishment, really. That's the only way that
40:47I can really get ahead, especially if you're playing with somebody like Patton. So, you
40:51know, you've got to like, OK, well, if I don't have the skill, maybe I have the balls.
40:57Maybe. Well, this must be something about being a comedian that, like, under pressure on a
41:02stage, you can spit back, right? It's just your training, I guess.
41:06Yeah. Exactly. Or psychosis. Yeah.
41:09Oh, and also my hatred for Ike Varenholtz. Really.
41:13I'm excited for the do-over. Coming for you, Ike. I'm coming for you.
41:18Do you feel like you could take Ike, given a second chance?
41:21His buzzer technique is otherworldly. He has weird sorcerous powers with the buzzer.
41:28And then he also has that horrifically smart brain. So, I just got to get a ballpoint pen
41:35and just start clicking. You'll see. Working overtime.
41:38I'll be, I will be in Fryman Canyon tomorrow morning at dawn, running with my pen, just
41:43clicking, man, with the rocking music. You're still alive in Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars.
41:49Thank you. We'll see you in the semis. Congratulations.
41:52For more is the Salmon
41:54Bye.
41:57Bye.
41:58You
