00:12Introducing tonight's celebrity players.
00:15You know him from Everybody Loves Raymond, and most recently, Running Point on Netflix.
00:22It's Ray Romano!
00:26She's an Academy Award-winning actress and activist.
00:30Here's Mira Sorvino.
00:35And he's an author and correspondent on CBS Sunday Morning.
00:41Say hello to Mo Rocca.
00:45And now, here is your host, Ken Jennings.
00:53Thank you, Johnny Gilbert, and welcome back to Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars.
00:57We have reached our last quarterfinal, and tonight, three more Jeopardy! alums are back on the Alex Trebek stage
01:03in hopes of advancing to the semis one step closer to the million-dollar prize for charity.
01:08Good luck to Mo, Mira, and Ray.
01:10Great to see you again.
01:11With the remaining spot in the semis on the line, let's play Jeopardy!
01:14Starting off with these categories.
01:17First up, where to?
01:19Then it's Business as Usual, followed by, ooh, Rough Movie Reviews.
01:24We have Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books.
01:27I'm Thinking of a Number.
01:29And finally, Ways to Say Get Lost.
01:33Rude.
01:33Mo, you're up first.
01:35Uh, where to for $300.
01:37Want to see the Grand Canyon of the Pacific?
01:40Then it's off to Waimea Canyon on this Hawaiian isle.
01:47It's on Kauai.
01:48Back to you, Mo.
01:49Okay.
01:50Uh, where to for $200.
01:52Let's go snorkeling off Australia to view this largest and longest reef complex.
01:58Mo.
01:58What is the Great Barrier Reef?
02:00That's right.
02:01Uh, where to for $400.
02:03Let's head to this St. Louis landmark.
02:05We can take a tram 630 feet to the top and see for 30 miles around us.
02:11Ray.
02:12What is the arch?
02:13Yeah, the Gateway Arch.
02:15Uh, let's do Ways to Get Lost for $100.
02:20The Oxford English Dictionary says this word is used to drive away poultry, birds, or other
02:25intruders.
02:26Presumably, that includes flies.
02:29Mira.
02:29What is shoe?
02:30Shoe fly, yes.
02:31Uh, Ways to Get Lost for $200, please.
02:34Michael Jackson used this Get Lost phrase as the title of a song about avoiding violence
02:39at all costs.
02:40Ray.
02:41What is beat it?
02:42Just beat it.
02:43Thinking of a number for $100.
02:46It's been in use by Heinz since 1896, despite never referring to an actual quantity of anything.
02:53Ray.
02:54What is eight?
02:55Not eight.
02:57Oh.
02:57Mo or Mira?
02:58Mira.
02:59What is Heinz 57?
03:0057, right.
03:0157 varieties.
03:02Okay.
03:04Um, I'll take rough movie reviews for $200, please.
03:08A letterboxed review of this 2018 Emily Blunt John Krasinski film.
03:13Why the bleep would you have another baby?
03:16Mo.
03:17What is a quiet place?
03:18That is the movie.
03:19Uh, rough movie reviews for $300.
03:23On 1994's North, he wrote, I hated the movie.
03:27Hated, hated, hated, hated, hated the movie.
03:30Hated it.
03:31Siskel, also not a fan.
03:33Mo.
03:33Who was Ebert.
03:34Correct.
03:36Uh, rough movie reviews for $400.
03:38Sorry, Ms. Bullock.
03:40Rotten Tomato's 100 worst movies of all time included this too, Cruise Control, and its laughable dialogue.
03:47Mira.
03:48What is speed two?
03:49That's right.
03:50Uh, I'll take ways I get lost for $300, please.
03:54Drop the last three letters of a way to cook eggs to get this word, meaning depart quickly.
03:59Mo.
03:59What is scram?
04:00From scramble to scram, you got it.
04:02Uh, rough movie reviews for $500.
04:05Back to the bad reviews.
04:07An Amazon review of this 2013 film about Solomon Northup somewhat missed the point.
04:12I did not like the treatment of people.
04:14One star.
04:18That is a reasonable reaction to 12 years a slate, I have to say.
04:22Yeah.
04:22Back to you, Mo.
04:23Uh, ways to say get lost for $400.
04:27Expressing relief that something's gone, this phrase shows up in both Shakespeare, 1609, and Green Day a few years later.
04:38That Green Day song about the time of your life is called Good Riddance.
04:41Mo.
04:42Uh, I'm thinking of a number for $200.
04:46It's how many Spartans died fighting the Persian army at Thermopylae, at least according to the title of a 2006
04:52film.
04:53Ray.
04:53What is $300?
04:54That is the film.
04:56Uh, rough movies.
04:57100.
04:58Let's get rid of it.
04:58Finish off the bad reviews.
05:00Not Team Edward nor Team Jacob.
05:03The Austin Chronicle had mosquito bites that were more passionate than this 2008 film.
05:09Mira.
05:09What is Twilight?
05:10Correct.
05:11You got it.
05:11Hmm.
05:12Uh, ways to say get lost for $500, please.
05:15If puns are your thing, instead of saying get lost, you might opt for make like a tree and do
05:20this.
05:21Ray.
05:22What is leave?
05:23That's correct.
05:23And it moves you into the lead, Ray, with $1,200.
05:26What?
05:26We need to make like a tree and leave, but just for a moment, because we'll be right back with
05:30more Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars.
05:34Take a picture.
05:41Look at this.
05:42Ray Romano is here, an actor and a comedian from Queens.
05:45Welcome back to Celebrity Jeopardy!
05:47Thank you very much.
05:48How does it feel to be back on the Alex Trebek stage?
05:50Just as scary the first time, even more so because it's All-Stars.
05:55All-Stars.
05:55But I think we need to fix the name.
05:57I think it should be Celebrity All-Stars and Ray Romano.
06:01I think you're just trying to get your name in the title, Ray.
06:03You're pretending to be humble.
06:05No, no, no.
06:06Ray Romano's Celebrity Jeopardy!
06:08I had enough of my name in a title.
06:10It's fine, yeah.
06:11But I'm just, it's exciting.
06:12Win or lose, this is one of the highlights.
06:15That's great.
06:16Tell us about your charity that you're playing for today.
06:18I'm playing for Harvest Home.
06:19I've been working with them for a while now.
06:22They're in L.A.
06:22It's a small organization that they help pregnant women who find themselves unhoused at the time.
06:30And they give them a place to stay.
06:32They get them on their feet.
06:33And they do everything they can to help these women start a family.
06:37And we've been doing it for a while now with them.
06:39Oh, that sounds like a great marketing thing.
06:41Thank you, Ray.
06:42Welcome back.
06:45And look at this, Mira Sorvino, an Oscar-winning actress, an activist.
06:49Thanks for coming back.
06:51What did you hear after your first Celebrity Jeopardy! appearance?
06:53You did very well.
06:54Oh, thanks.
06:55I had some people be like, wow, you're actually smart.
07:00Because, you know, I play a lot of dumb blondes.
07:02Like, you know, like probably my most famous role is Romy and Michelle.
07:06And Romy is not really known for her mental prowess.
07:09So that's nice.
07:11So these were not close friends saying, whoa, Mira, you knew some stuff.
07:14Well, some of them.
07:15Yeah.
07:17What about your charity?
07:18My charity is the UNVTF.
07:20I'm on the board of trustees.
07:21We are a fund that supports on-the-ground organizations the world over that help trafficking victims and
07:27survivors escape trafficking or exit and then rebuild their lives.
07:32And they're doing the work of the angels.
07:34And we've helped over 100,000 people in over 60 countries.
07:37100,000 people.
07:38Wow.
07:38That's great.
07:39Such urgent work.
07:42And Mo Rocca, an author, a news correspondent, originally from Bethesda, Maryland.
07:47You made it to the finals in your first Celebrity Jeopardy! appearance.
07:51Exciting.
07:51Is that more pressure now coming back with those expectations?
07:54Or what do you think?
07:55You know, it's less pressure now because, you know, the sands of time.
08:01I mean, you know, I don't have the recall that I used to.
08:04You know what you know.
08:05I mean, I can't, you know, instantly identify an element from the periodic table or tell you
08:11off the bat who won Best Supporting Actress in 1996.
08:14For example.
08:15Who is Mira Servino.
08:17I feel like Mira might beat you to that one.
08:20Who are you playing for with us today, Mo?
08:22I'm playing for the Inner City Scholarship Fund of New York City.
08:25I've worked with them for a long time.
08:27They help financially strapped families of all faith backgrounds send their kids to the
08:32excellent and safe inner city Catholic schools of New York City.
08:36They've been doing great work that really transforms lives for a very long time.
08:40I think you played for them last time, right?
08:42So you won them a lot of money.
08:43That's right, yeah.
08:44Do you know what they did with it?
08:45Well, I know that the $250,000 was enough for 125 elementary and high school kids in
08:51the Bronx to be awarded scholarships and help them go to those schools.
08:55That's fantastic.
08:56Well done.
08:58All three of you are off to a great start, but it's Ray who gave us the last correct response.
09:02He's got control of the board.
09:04Make a selection for him.
09:05I'm thinking of a number 300.
09:08It's two numbers, actually, and together they mean message received in radio speak.
09:13Ray.
09:13What is 10-4?
09:15Yeah.
09:16Thinking of a number 400.
09:18In a Proclaimers hit, it's the total miles the singer would walk just to be the man who
09:23had fallen down at a door after walking that far.
09:26Mira.
09:27What is 10,000 miles?
09:28No.
09:30Moir Ray?
09:32The song's actually called 500 Miles.
09:34So if you walk 500 miles and then 500 more, you walk 1,000 miles in total.
09:39That's 10,000.
09:40Back to you, Ray.
09:41Uh, number 500.
09:44Come on, Christmas wasn't that long ago.
09:46This number comes right before geese-a-laying.
09:49Mo.
09:50What is 8, diesel-a-laying?
09:52Sorry, not 8.
09:54Mira.
09:54It's 9.
09:55Also not 9, though.
09:57Ray?
09:57Not gonna try it?
09:58I'm gonna pass.
09:596.
10:00It's 6, diesel-a-laying.
10:02Ray.
10:02You did well there by saying nothing, and it's still your best.
10:04It has.
10:06If I can win by just saying nothing, uh, where to 500?
10:13You can be under the Tuscan sun along this principal river of that region, flowing 150 miles
10:19to the Ligurian Sea.
10:21Mira.
10:22What is the Po?
10:23Not the Po, I'm afraid.
10:25Mo or Ray?
10:27Going through Florence, it's the Arno.
10:30Ray, still you.
10:30Uh, Business, 300.
10:33Hit up this brand to buy custom bats, like Derek Jeter's DJ2, as well as Kyle Schwarber's
10:38KS12.
10:40Ray.
10:41What is Louisville Slugger?
10:42Yeah, they make the bats.
10:44Uh, Business, as usual, 400.
10:46Answer there is a Daily Double for you, Ray.
10:48Oh, no.
10:53Why?
10:54You look like something terrible has just happened, Ray, but this could be an opportunity.
10:58That's my normal look.
11:00You have $1,800 to wager on Business as Usual.
11:04All right, let's do, uh, $800.
11:08All right, you'll have $2,600 if you're right then.
11:10Here's your clue.
11:12The Selectric helped this company claim 94% of the market for electric typewriters in
11:171978, and to be honest, I like the Selectric way more than Watson.
11:25Uh, I'm blanking.
11:31What do you got, Ray?
11:32Nope.
11:32It's IBM that made the Selectric, and my nemesis, Watson.
11:36Stupid me.
11:37Uh, you only lose $800.
11:38You still have the lead, Ray.
11:39Select again.
11:41Uh, Business, $200.
11:43This Vegas hotel has seven pools, Coliseum Strip view rooms, and your dog is welcome, as

13:56tells the story of this king.
13:58Mira.
13:59Who is King Arthur?
13:59That is correct, King Arthur.
14:01You made up some ground there, Mira.
14:02But don't worry about this, you're in third, but there is so much room to make up ground
14:06in Double and Triple Jeopardy.
14:07You'll select first when we come back.

19:04And that pulls you just $100 over Mira into the lead.
19:07But we have to pause for a moment for this commercial break.
19:09Back with more Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars in just a moment.
19:20I have some good news for Ray Romano.
19:22Our judges tell me that they will accept your response of Savannah in that round for Savannah
19:26Guthrie.
19:27You're getting $1,600 back just like that.
19:30Again, you didn't have to do anything and you got some more money.
19:32Well done.
19:33So I'm in first again at the break.
19:37Enjoy it.
19:38Enjoy it now.
19:40Ray, you recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of legendary sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond.
19:46I did.
19:46What is it about that show that still resonates all these years later?
19:49I think what I'm, over the years, what I've noticed is everybody identifies with some character
19:56in the show.
19:57That's my mother.
19:58That's my father.
19:58And all over the world, too.
20:00It doesn't matter any cultural differences.
20:03It seems, it seems everybody's family is crazy.
20:08But, you know, it's all grounded with love and all that.
20:11But, yeah, that's the common denominator.
20:14They identify with it.
20:15Do you think people start out identifying with, say, the Ray character, but as they get
20:18older, they start to realize they're now the parents?
20:21I'm definitely turning into my father.
20:23And Peter Boyle was based, anything you see Peter Boyle do on that show, my father did
20:29without pants on.
20:33But, yeah, if you ask my wife, I'm becoming, I'm becoming my father.
20:38You've got another show, right?
20:39I do have another one, Running Point, which has been on for one season already with Kate
20:45Hudson starring.
20:46And I got brought in for the second season.
20:49I'm playing a coach of the pretend Lakers.
20:52It's the TV version of the Lakers.
20:55And the celebrity champion, Ike Barinholtz, is one of the head writers on it.
20:59Oh, wow.
21:01Look at that.
21:01I got to pick his brain a little about things.
21:04And he only, he wouldn't tell me too much.
21:07But no matter how much he tells me, I'm not going to be like Ike Barinholtz.
21:11Trust me on that.
21:12Yeah, because he's a powerhouse.
21:13He's very good.
21:14You're in the lead at the moment, Ray.
21:16Anything can happen out here.
21:17Oh, boy.
21:18Mira Sorvino, this is very exciting.
21:20I'm a big Broadway fan.
21:21And you just got done with a run in a Broadway musical.
21:24Which one?
21:24I was in Chicago.
21:26I played Roxy.
21:27Wow.
21:28It was a dream of mine to do a Broadway musical.
21:31And so I took two years of jazz dance classes, which I had never really taken before, to get
21:36myself proficient enough that I could learn the Fosse choreography and then audition.
21:39And I got the part.
21:40And I had the best seven weeks of my life.
21:44Like, I just felt so alive on stage.
21:46I found this version of Roxy that I just fell in love with.
21:50And I had the time of my life.
21:51And speaking of dads, your dad, Paul Sorvino, had done Broadway before, right?
21:54Yes.
21:55My dad first got discovered in that championship season, for which he was nominated for a Tony.
22:00And we actually held his wake at Sardi's.
22:02And so, like, Broadway will always be very indelibly connected to my memories of dad.
22:07I love that you didn't even have the part, but you spent two years learning how to Fosse jazz dance.
22:12Well, no.
22:13I just learned generally how to jazz dance because I knew I wanted to do Broadway.
22:16And then this opportunity arose to possibly do Chicago.
22:19Well, congratulations.
22:20That's so great.
22:21I love that.
22:22Mo Rocca, I understand that you got some feedback on your earlier Celebrity Jeopardy appearances.
22:28What did people notice about you?
22:30Well, that I need to work on my resting Jeopardy face.
22:34What?
22:34That, yeah.
22:36It's just, I just need much better resting J face.
22:43You know, that's very selective right there.
22:47You can do, that's AI.
22:50Don't you feel like these photos are likely you just thinking very hard about something?
22:54Thinking or needing a laxative.
22:58I kind of like that face.
22:59It really looks like you're taking the game seriously.
23:01What are you trying this time instead?
23:02Do you have a different face?
23:03I'm just trying total equanimity.
23:06I'm just going to, yeah, affect less.
23:11You're going for Jeopardy's end, but I'm going to tell you right now, you kind of look pissed off.
23:14I'll work on something more serene.
23:17Oh, look at that.
23:19That's it.
23:20That's the Dalai Lama of Jeopardy right there.
23:21It's also your selection right now, Mo.
23:24Oh, it is?
23:24Okay.
23:25Yeah.
23:25All right.
23:25Let's speak European for 800.
23:27French for work or an artist's life work.
23:31It properly requires fishy mouth shape to pronounce.
23:34Mo.
23:35What is oeuvre?
23:36Oeuvre.
23:37Very good.
23:38Let's speak European for 1,000.
23:40Sail from Denmark to this country and the local warm, cozy feeling is no longer hygge, but
23:46koos, which didn't quite catch on internationally.
23:49Mo.
23:50What is Norway?
23:51That was Norway.
23:52Okay.
23:52Uh, not an empty gesture for 200.
23:56Flirting with a member of our audience?
23:58Extend a thumb to your ear and a pinky to your lips, indicating this two-word instruction.
24:03Ray.
24:04What is call me?
24:05Yeah, a little call me sign.
24:07Uh, not an empty gesture for 400.
24:10In a gesture popularized by a 2004 Jay-Z hit, to de-stress, just brush the dirt off your
24:16this.
24:20Jay-Z brushed dirt off his shoulders.
24:23Ah.
24:24That's the gesture.
24:25Back to Ray.
24:26Uh, not an empty gesture for 600.
24:29A gesture the New York Times has called,
24:31a human version of those best friends forever lockets, is the hand this.
24:37Mira.
24:37What is the heart?
24:38Yeah, the hand heart.
24:39Can you, I guess you're holding the buzzer, you don't want to.
24:40I kept, I've been doing it to my husband the whole show.
24:43Oh, there we go.
24:44Um, not an empty gesture for 800, please.
24:47A Jewish blessing was the inspiration for this split-fingered salute, given by a sci-fi race.
24:53Mira.
24:54What is live long and prosper?
24:55That's right, the Vulcan salute.
24:57It looks like you speak it with an accent, though.
25:00Um, I'm an OG, like, Star Trek fan.
25:04That was one thing I did with my dad.
25:05We would sit there in the 70s and watch reruns, and, like, I just loved it.
25:10Oh, that's great.
25:11Um, okay, uh, not an empty gesture for 1,000, please.
25:14One more.
25:15It became the first official hand gesture of a U.S. state when Hawaii gave it its due in 2024.
25:22Ray.
25:23I don't know, is it this?
25:24It is not that, I'm afraid.
25:27Why did I do it?
25:29More, Mira?
25:30Close, Ray, but the shocker looks like this.
25:33Hang loose.
25:34Back to you, Mira.
25:36Okay, uh, historic transportation for 600, please.
25:41A 2025 trip replicated won in 1825 by New York's governor, end-to-end on this canal,
25:48to pour water from that great lake into the Atlantic.
25:51Mo.
25:52What is the Erie Canal?
25:53That's the right canal.
25:53Uh, historic transportation for 800.
25:56Answer.
25:57A daily double for you now, Mo.
26:02You're in the lead.
26:03How much of that 5,200 do you want to put at risk in historic transportation?
26:071,000.
26:08All right, going for 6,200, if he's right.
26:10Here's your clue, Mo.
26:12It's the name for the men and women who, in 1961, challenged segregation by taking buses from D.C. to
26:19the Deep South.
26:20Who were the Freedom Riders.
26:21That's right, you had $1,000.
26:23Very nice.
26:25Uh, historic transportation for 400.
26:29It's the word for the typical fighter aircraft of World War I.
26:32With fairly feeble engines, the second wing added lift to carry weaponry.
26:38Mira.
26:39What is it, biplane?
26:40Yes.
26:41Okay.
26:42Uh, historic transportation for 1,000, please.
26:47The gold state coach has been used at every one of these British events since William IV's in 1831.
26:54Mo.
26:55It's coronation.
26:56You got it.
26:57Uh, historic transportation for 200.
27:00Before Europeans brought in horses, Plains Indians used these pets as beasts of burden.
27:06If a load shifted, they'd howl.
27:08Ray.
27:09Hmm.
27:12There's a wolf.
27:13Not a wolf.
27:14Mo or Mira?
27:16Close, but their pets were dogs.
27:19Mo, three clues left.
27:20Oh, uh, chimps for 600.
27:23Tool making was thought human only until Jane Goodall saw a chimp fishing in a mound.
27:28These insects, version of an anthill.
27:31Mira.
27:32What is a termite mound?
27:34Correct.
27:36Um, chimps for 800, please.
27:38The arms up pose here is called GHC.
27:42HC for hand clasp and G for this activity that removes parasites, plus has a social component.
27:48Mo.
27:49What is grooming?
27:51They are grooming there.
27:52That's right.
27:52Here's the last clue.
27:53Bring it.
27:53From the world of chimps.
27:55This river often forms a dividing line between primate populations, with chimps north of
28:00it and pygmy chimps, aka bonobos, south.
28:07You're looking at the Congo River there.
28:09So we finish Double Jeopardy with Mo in the lead.
28:12Mira had a very good round.
28:13Ray, never fear, you'll be selecting first, because this game is not over yet.
28:16We have Triple Jeopardy on deck, if you can believe it.
28:18And it starts right after this.
28:21Stay tuned.
28:25Oh, boy.
28:27It was fun while it lasted again.
28:32Please do not adjust your set.
28:33That's right.
28:34We are entering Triple Jeopardy right now.

30:28Well done.

30:34Okay.

35:35Oh.
35:37Moiré.
35:39This Irish author, that's from the end of Ulysses, who is James Joyce.

35:43Back to you, Mira.
35:44Okay.
35:44All right, let's do the same category for $600, please.
35:50All right.
35:51The stakeout was going to be a long one.
35:53Good thing I brought this 1860s novel written by Oreske.
35:57My copy had 1,444 pages.
36:01Moe.
36:01What is War and Peace?
36:02That's it.

36:19Mira.
36:20What is the great Gatsby?
36:21No, sorry.
36:23Moiré?
36:25It said this dame.
36:27So Daisy Buchanan was the character.
36:28Oh, God.
36:29I played her.
36:30Oh.
36:31Okay, I've got to pay better attention to the wording of this one.
36:34Okay.
36:35Mo, back to you.
36:37Ken Jennings for $1,200.
36:38It's going so well, yeah.
36:41Getting pinched for stealing a loaf of bread and serving 19 years.
36:44I felt sorry for this poor sap.
36:47But hey, France was a rough country.
36:49Mo.
36:50Who is Jean Valjean?
36:51Yes.
36:52In Les Niserables.

37:04Some guys got all the luck.
37:06Mira.
37:06Who is Arthur Miller?
37:07That is right.
37:08Okay.
37:09Why am I here?
37:13I also played Marilyn Monroe, so.
37:15Oh, that's true.
37:16Wow.
37:16I have a weirdly weird career.
37:18But never Jean Valjean, I assume.
37:20No, I did not play Jean Valjean.
37:21Although I knew that one, but you just beat me every time with that buzzer.
37:25Okay.
37:26If my father hugged me once, I wouldn't have to do any of this.
37:32All we have left is my cell phone plan.
37:34Mira, where to?
37:35Okay.
37:36Okay.
37:36Okay.
37:37Let's try for $300, please.
37:39My plan when I went out of town is to ping my daughter at 10, which is this hour I've
37:43set, and then to get really mad if she's not home.
37:5010 is the curfew.
37:52Back to you, Mira.
37:53Oh.
37:53Oh, my gosh.
37:54All right.
37:54My cell phone plan at $600.
37:57The construction material nickname of the 1983 phone here.
38:01It's also what your dead phone is, so use it to weigh down those papers.
38:08That phone is a brick.
38:10Brick.
38:11Wow.
38:11Mira, three clues left.
38:13My cell phone plan at $900.
38:16I plan to take umpteen selfies as I walk into Manhattan across this suspension bridge that opened in 1883.
38:23Mira.
38:23What is the Brooklyn Bridge?
38:24Right.
38:25Okay.
38:26My cell phone plan for $1,200, please.
38:29You're landing in Seattle.
38:30I'm driving from this city, also in the name of the airport.
38:33So, if I'm early, I'll be in the cell phone lot.
38:39It's the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
38:42What is Tacoma?
38:43One more clue in my cell phone plan.
38:46New Hampshire is the first state to let its treasury invest in this.
38:49I'll be on the phone to my senators if that's proposed in D.C.
38:53Mo.
38:53What is crypto?
38:55Yes, they can invest in crypto in New Hampshire.
38:57So, you have the lead at the end of the Triple Jeopardy round with Mo Money, $27,900.
39:02But, Mira, Ray, not out of this yet.
39:04Let's see what happens in Final Jeopardy.
39:06I am mathematically out of it, Ken.
39:09Anything can happen in Final, Ray.
39:11Let's see your category.
39:12I'll take your word.
39:14Famous Scientists.
39:15Think about that and make your wagers.
39:16We'll be back with a clue in just a moment.
39:26The Final Jeopardy category that will decide this game is Famous Scientists.
39:31Here's the clue.
39:33His 1992 doctoral thesis has a 14-word title about the minor axis of the galactic bulge.
39:40It features his three-name byline.
39:4330 seconds.
39:44Good luck.
40:15We'll begin on the end with Ray Romano.
40:17Had $3,400 coming into Final Jeopardy.
40:20Ray, what did you write down?
40:21You have...
40:22One hug.
40:23That's all I would have took.
40:26One hug from Mom and Dad and you wouldn't be here.
40:29Well, we're lucky that they didn't then, right?
40:31I'm going to get one from you later after the game.
40:34Free hugs for everybody, right?
40:35No worries.
40:36What did you wager?
40:38You'll drop down $3,358, leaving you with $42.
40:42Mira Sorvino, you were in second place with $16,600.
40:46And your response was...
40:48Who is Neil deGrasse Tyson, the famed American astronomer?
40:52You are correct.
40:53Well done, Mira.
40:54What did you wager?
40:55Everything.
40:56Wow.
40:56Every penny.
40:58You double up to $33,200.
41:01And you have a narrow lead right now over Mo Rocca.
41:04Mo, did you come up with Neil deGrasse Tyson?
41:08Oh, who is Neil?
41:09I couldn't summon it.
41:11See, I told you.
41:12Couldn't come up with the rest of the name.
41:14So close.
41:14What did you wager, Mo?
41:16Losing $6,000 will knock you down to $21,900.
41:19Mira Sorvino, you just came from behind and made it to the semifinals.
41:24Congratulations.
41:29I was sure you would have it.
41:32And I was like, the only way I can beat you is if I bet everything, but then you're still
41:36going to bet more.
41:37You was almost there.
41:39Oh, my gosh.
41:39Mo Ray, thank you for being here.
41:40$30,000 for each of your charities.
41:42What a great game.
41:45We'll be seeing Mira again in the semifinals, and they begin next time on Celebrity Jeopardy!
41:49All-Star.
41:50Thanks for watching.
41:51Good night.
41:53Did you know the latest episodes of Jeopardy! are now streaming on Hulu.
41:57That's why we're taking a look.
42:04I love you.
42:12You're welcome.
