05:00Jonathan Rosales is a university fundraiser from Glendale.
05:03And Jonathan, I'm told you're a little worried about being able to watch your Jeopardy
05:07appearance when it airs.
05:08Where are you going to be?
05:09Yeah, well, several months ago, my husband and I booked a cruise to meet our new baby
05:14nephew in Honolulu.
05:15Okay.
05:15And the day this airs, we're going to be in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
05:19Is there a way to watch Jeopardy on cruise ships?
05:21You'd think so.
05:21I'm hoping to make a bunch of new friends on the ship and maybe have the first Jeopardy
05:25watch party on a cruise ship.
05:27You know, make some history there.
05:28In international waters?
05:29You know, we'll be.

05:39Tell us about your career with the stars and planets.
05:42That's right.
05:42One of my first ever jobs was writing horoscopes for a teen magazine.
05:46Okay.
05:46And I'm sorry to say I made them all up.
05:48No.
05:50Are there teens out there who don't know this?
05:52They probably made big life decisions based on this.
05:53I will not name the magazine because that's possible.
05:55Okay.
05:56But go back and check your horoscope because it might have been Katie.
05:58I don't know.
05:59Our champion is James Dennison, a college professor and museum curator originally from Alexandria,
06:05Virginia, and a big movie nerd, right?
06:07So much so that?
06:08Well, my current goal is to reach 2,000 movies logged on Letterboxd.
06:12I'm a little bit short, but I'm very fortunate to live right down the street from my local movie
06:17theater in Kalamazoo.
06:18And there's not that much to do in the middle of winter in Kalamazoo.
06:20So I'm going to log a few more now that I'm done studying with Jeopardy after this.
06:24You get a big bump every winter in snowy Kalamazoo.
06:27Absolutely.
