00:01From the Alex Rebeck stage at Sony Pictures Studios, this is Jeopardy!
00:14Here are today's contestants.
00:17A museum educator, originally from Minnetonka, Minnesota, Cameron Bell.
00:22An energy industry professional from Corona, California, Peter McFerrin.
00:28And our returning champion, a content manager from Washington, D.C., Christy Angelo, whose eight-day cash winnings total $194
00:39,201.
00:43And now, here is the host of Jeopardy, Ken Jennings.
00:49Thank you, Johnny Gilbert, and welcome to June on Jeopardy!
00:52We wrapped up the month of May with our champion, Christy Angelo, here, earning his eighth win and his fifth
00:58runaway.
00:59And yet, despite all his success here on the Alex Rebeck stage, Chris still has a ways to go if
01:03he wants to match the accolades earned by the Awkwafina character in Quiz Lady,
01:08the character that we learned Chris's sister based on him.
01:11In that movie, Awkwafina wins 93 straight times on her show, Chris.
01:15So you're just 85 wins away right now.
01:17For Peter and Cameron, our challengers, welcome. Win number one is the goal.
01:21Good luck to all three of you. Let's get into the Jeopardy! round.
01:24The categories today in this round are...
01:28First up, ooh, we have a bad hair day.
01:30Then, Brazilian geography.
01:33Fear not the phobia.
01:35Bills and Billies.
01:37Code red.
01:39And finally, a little complete the proverb.
01:42Chris, what do you like first?
01:44Proverb 600.
01:46Careful carpenters, measure twice, then this.

01:52Right.
01:53Complete the proverb 400, please.
01:55In a 1782 letter, Benjamin Franklin said it was right to strike while this, meaning to seize an opportunity as
02:02it presents itself.
02:04Chris.
02:04What is it? While the iron is hot.
02:06That's correct.
02:07Proverb 800.
02:08George Bernard Shaw said the proverb that this gathers no moss is silly, as moss isn't a desirable parasite.
02:16Peter.
02:16What is Rolling Stone?
02:18Right.
02:18Brazilian geography for six.

03:04Peter.
03:04What is Brasilia?
03:05Yes.
03:07Code red for six.
03:08Because the Red Cross's emblem reminded Ottoman soldiers of crusaders, that organization adopted this other emblem.
03:16Peter.
03:17What is the Red Crescent?
03:19Correct.
03:20Bad hair day for eight.

03:43Shakespeare used glisters in the phrase of warning we'd say this way.
03:48Chris.
03:49What is all that glistens is not gold?
03:51No.
03:52Peter or Cameron?
03:54Chris was close.
03:55Not glistens, but glitters.
03:57All that glitters is not gold.
03:58Back to you.
03:59Code red, a thousand.

04:11Red Cloud.
04:12That's it.

04:14Sawanophobia is fear of this annual event, and it's fairly obvious to see why that can happen.
04:20Cameron.
04:21What is Halloween?
04:22Yes.
04:23Phobia, 600.
04:24In a grave situation, it's the understandable fear of dead bodies.

04:33As these are covered, isoptrophobics can rest easy while sitting shiva.
04:38Cameron.

18:13big spenders? I'm afraid that's not it. Cameron, you wagered everything, so that'll knock you down to zero. The champ,
18:20Chris D'Angelo, was in second place with $11,200. His response was high rollers, and I'm afraid that's also
18:28not it, Chris. He wagered big as well. He'll lose everything, knocking him down to zero.

18:37correct. You have $20,700 and wrote down, what are mavericks? No, when cities instituted gambling bans, it created more

18:51three-way loss? Did you bet it all? No, just $1,701.
18:55knocking you down to $18,999. You have defeated an eight-game winner, and you become Jeopardy! champion, Peter. Congratulations.
