00:01From the Alex Rebeck stage at Sony Pictures Studios, this is Jeopardy! Champions Wild Card.
00:15Please welcome today's past champions.
00:18An analyst from Washington, D.C., Jeff Barnes.
00:22An art student from Rochester, New York, Dave Vaughn.
00:26And a tutor, originally from Honolulu, Hawaii, Michelle Tsai.
00:33And now, here is the host of Jeopardy! Ken Jennings.
00:39Thank you, Johnny. Welcome back to Jeopardy!
00:42This year's Champions Wild Card tournament features one, two, and three game champions,
00:48as well as our three recent second chance winners.
00:50The tournament kicked off yesterday with an exciting quarterfinal game,
00:54where we saw one-game champion, Stella Trout, add another victory to our win column
00:58and advance to the semifinals.
01:00And today, Michelle, Dave, and Jeff are back here hoping to do the same.
01:03Good luck, champs.
01:04Let's see what categories await you in the Jeopardy! round.
01:09From left to right, we have words that should rhyme.
01:12Then, Shakespeare gets wild.
01:15Look out.
01:16The country that borders, followed by at the airport.
01:21That's key.
01:22And finally...
01:23I'm Will Arnett.
01:25I'll have clues about comedians who, just like my character in Is This Thing On,
01:29brought their personal lives into their acts.
01:32Michelle, you're up first.
01:33Two words that should rhyme for 800.
01:36A sudden torrent, and a group of birds hatched around the same time.
01:43What are flood and brood?
01:46They should rhyme, but they don't.
01:47Michelle?
01:48Two words that should rhyme for 1,000.
01:50A room such as m'lady's, and to heave oneself up awkwardly.
01:58Well, that's just very tough.
02:00Did you just get it, Jeff?
02:01What are chamber and clamber?
02:02Back to you, Michelle.
02:03One more try.
02:04Let's do 600.
02:05Try it again.
02:07The prevailing weather in a region, and a lemur, for example.
02:11Jeff?
02:11What are climate and primate?
02:13Yes.
02:13At the airport, 1,000?
02:14These are numbered based on their position relative to the magnetic north pole,
02:18and are sometimes renumbered as the pole moves.
02:22Dave?
02:22What are runways?
02:23Correct.
02:24Comedy gets personal, 1,000.
02:26Here's Will Arnett.
02:27It was no problem to talk on stage about his obscenity bust for this comic,
02:31including one in 1962 for saying schmuck on stage.
02:35He even read his trial transcripts to audiences.
02:38Michelle?
02:39Who is Bruce?
02:40Lenny Bruce is right.
02:41At the airport, 800.

03:12You have $2,000 to risk on.
03:14Shakespeare gets wild.
03:15Let's do 2,000.
03:16Going for the true daily double in Shakespeare.
03:18Here's your clue.
03:20This king's horses turned wild in nature, broke their stalls.
03:25To said they eat each other after his murder by Macbeth.
03:28Who is Duncan?
03:30Duncan is the king.
03:31Yes.
03:31Taking you to 4,000.
03:35See, Shakespeare gets wild for 600.
03:38Winter's not gone yet if the wild geese fly that way,
03:41says the surprisingly wise fool to him.
03:44Jeff?
03:46Sorry, I lost it.
03:48Doesn't have it.

04:18Shakespeare gets wild, 1,000.
04:20In a poem, he is hot, faint, and weary with Venus's heart embracing, like a wild bird being tamed with
04:26too much handling.

04:48But despite the name, we don't recommend riding it.
04:51Dave?
04:51What's a carousel?
04:52Yes, but not that kind of carousel.
04:54You have 3,800 in second place.
04:56Michelle's in the lead.
04:57And we need to pause for a moment for these commercial messages.
04:59We'll be back soon with more Jeopardy.
05:02Jeff Barnes is an analyst from Washington, D.C.
05:05Jeff, you told us, I think, that being on Jeopardy was fine, but it wasn't your actual TV goal, which
05:10was?
05:11Being on the Great British Bake Off.
05:13How's that going?
05:13Have you made any progress?
05:15I have not, no.
05:16On the baking front, recently, my son has a big sweet tooth, so he's become a big critic.
05:23Oh, of your work.
05:24Not necessarily a constructive critic.
05:26He's only three.
05:27So, the other day, I made a tart to 10.
05:30He told me he had too many apples.
05:32And then he told me something I made tasted like hair.
05:35So, a little tougher than Paul Hollywood, but I'll keep trying to win his favor.
05:39That's good.
05:39You start with a tough judge, and then you move on to the nicer ones on TV.
05:43Exactly.
05:43You'll be ready for anything.
05:45Dave Bond, when you were first on Jeopardy, we announced you as a retired grant writer from Rochester.
05:50But today, you're an art student.
05:51Tell us about this transition.
05:53Well, I'm retired, and I've always enjoyed cartooning.
05:56So, I decided to get some actual skills to improve my doodles to something nice and marketable.
06:03You're now a cartoonist.
06:05Yeah, I've had a few published in some academic textbooks, and I've done some personalized children's books for young people.
06:13That's great.
06:13I love this new term for you.
06:15And you're one of my favorite subjects, actually.
06:16Oh, cartoons of me.
06:18Well, I can't share them because they might bias the host against me, but...
06:24Or for you, if they're really good.
06:26Yeah, they might.
06:27Michelle Tsai, originally from Honolulu, Hawaii, a tutor, and as of a couple weeks ago, a Jeopardy! champion.
06:33I'm told that means a lot to you.
06:35Yeah, I've never actually been a champion of anything.
06:39I've won some things as part of a team, and I've come, you know, second or sixth or seventh or
06:44tenth in various things.
06:46But I've never, myself, won a competition before.
06:50So, this is a pretty great first-time champion to be.
06:53That's right.
06:54You're a second-chance champion.
06:56And you, who knows, could be a champion's wildcard champion.
06:59That's double champion.
07:00We'll see what happens this week and next.
07:02Dave, you have control of the board.
07:03Make a selection.
07:05Comment against personal, 800.
07:07Back to Will Arnett.
07:08In his stand-up, Gabe Kaplan talked about his time in remedial classes at Brooklyn's Erasmus Hall High School.
07:14However, new Utrecht High was used for the opening of Welcome Back, Qatar, which turned Gabe's classmates into this misfit
07:21group.
07:22Dave.
07:23What are sweat hogs?

18:42A font with a New York coded name.
18:44What could it be?
18:45We'll start with Jeff Barnes with 8,800.
18:47He wrote down Helvetica.
18:51Not the right typeface, I'm afraid.
18:52Jeff, what did you wager?
18:54He went big, wagering 8,000.
18:56It'll knock him down to 800.
18:57Dave Bond was in second place with 11,800.
19:01He wrote down, what is Ariel?
19:04Kind of an off-brand Helvetica.
19:06It's also not Ariel, I'm afraid.
19:08Dave, your wager?
19:10Small, 1,800, leaving you with 10,000.
19:13There are those wildcard berths in play.
19:16Let's see what happens here with Michelle Tsai, who had the lead with 16,000.
19:19Her response didn't come up with one.
19:21The typeface with the New York coded name?
19:23Gotham.
19:24A nickname for New York City.
19:25What did you wager, Michelle?
19:28Also a small wager.
19:291602 knocks her down to 14,398.
19:33And she has just qualified for the semifinals of Jeopardy Champions wildcard.
19:40The quarterfinals continue tomorrow, right here on the Alex Direct stage.
19:43Thanks for watchin'.
19:44Thanks.
19:45Thanks.
