01:04Thank you, folks. Thank you, Johnny Gilbert.
01:06And welcome back to Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars, where we have seen some impressive gameplay here on the Alex Trebek
01:12stage.
01:13Later on in the tournament, we'll be joined by our champions from seasons one, two, and three.
01:17Ike Barinholtz, Lisa Ann Walter, and W. Kamau Bell.
01:21But tonight, the quarterfinals continue with Robin, Patton, and Margaret.
01:24Welcome back, you three. Good luck.
01:26Let's get right into the Jeopardy! round, where we have these categories for you.
01:30First, we are gallivanting around Europe. Love to gallivant.
01:34Then, more than a fever dream, the WNBA.
01:38We have on-camera, fun with internet abbreviations, graphic novels and comics, and finally, a little alliteration.
01:47Robin Feedy, you'll make the first selection.
01:49Let's start with a little alliteration for 100.
01:52In 2006, Ludacris urged us to shake your this two-word term. A currency creator, in other words. Patton.
02:00What is moneymaker?
02:01Shake your moneymaker.
02:03Uh, let's stay with a little alliteration. 200.
02:06It means having the right tone or style. It's also the title of a film franchise with Anna Kendrick. Patton.
02:13What is pitch perfect?
02:14You got it.
02:15Uh, let's do graphic novels and comics for 100.
02:18Can't believe it took you this long, Patton.
02:20I 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.
02:28Patton.
02:29What are cats?
02:30They are cats.
02:31Uh, graphic novels, 200, please.
02:33From Hell is a classic comic from Alan Moore set during the London killing spree of this 19th century man.

03:02a zoo in 2003.

03:06Yes.
03:06And graphic novels and comics for 500, please.
03:08Fun Home is a graphic memoir from this cartoonist, famous for her test involving female on-screen representation.
03:16Patton.
03:16Who's Alison Bechdel?
03:17Bechdel test, yes.
03:18You just ran that category.
03:20Nice job.
03:24You don't read comics, do you, Patton?
03:26I 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.
03:43In the early 20th century, the first of this type of bus ushered folks through London.
03:48Robin.
03:49What is it, double-decker?
03:50Yes.
03:51I'll close out a little alliteration for 500.
03:54It's the nickname of the first United States volunteer cavalry during the Spanish-American War.
03:59Patton.
04:00Who are the Rough Riders?
04:01Well done.
04:03Um, gallivanting around Europe for 100, please.
04:05Let's head to Europe.
04:06Yeah.
04:07The water entrance to the Piazzetta in this Italian city is called the Molo,
04:11Two Ancient Granite Pillars, welcome you.
04:14Robin.
04:15What is Venice?
04:15That is Venice.
04:16I'll take more than a fever dream, the WNBA for 100.
04:21Labeled a hero by many after a 2022 detainment in Russia,
04:24this WNBA star wears number 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson.
04:29Margaret.
04:30Who's Brittany Griner?
04:31Yes.
04:32Um, I'd like to go back to gallivanting around Europe for 200, please.

04:39that's been a thing since 1946.
04:42Patton.
04:42What is Cannes?
04:43Right.
04:44Uh, gallivanting around Europe for 300, please.
04:47Looking at Germany's Neuschwanstein Castle,
04:49you can see how it served as an inspiration for that of this Disney princess.
04:53Patton.
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.
05:07Check out the old market hall and listen to the bells.
05:10Margaret.
05:10What is Belgium?
05:11Bruges is in Belgium.
05:12Yes, that takes you to 500, tied for second place.
05:15And it brings us to a quick break.
05:16But there is much more Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars on tap, so stay tuned.
05:20Oh!
05:21Your button is deadly!
05:23Boom!
05:24Deadly!
05:25Great.
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?
05:45Well, 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.
06:03They'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.
06:13And 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, it 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...
06:40Ike Barinholtz.
06:44Hang on.
06:46I'm doing some breathing exercises.
06:48Okay, I'm back.
06:49I...
06:50What's it like to be back?
06:51Ike's not here this game.
06:52No, he's not.
06:55No, it's great being back.
06:56This is a really fun game to play.
06:59I've been a Jeopardy! nerd for a long time,
07:01so any 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, on a pre-Ike show,
07:13my whole life is pre and post-Ike Barinholtz,
07:17I swept the gloomy authors category.
07:21Gloomy authors?
07:22Gloomy authors.
07:24Leopardy, Charita, Lovecraft, Dahl, and Beckett.
07:29I got all five of them.
07:31Mwah!
07:32Is this really your vibe?
07:33Did you know you were a gloomy authors guy?
07:35When I saw the category gloomy authors,
07:37I was like, I think this is going to be my comfort zone.
07:40Because that's...
07:41Yeah, that's my whole thing.
07:42I'm just...
07:42I'm always down those rabbit holes.
07:44What charity are you playing for tonight, Patton?
07:46I am playing for an amazing charity called Alice's Kids,
07:49and what they do is provide money and experiences
07:53for underprivileged kids in middle and high school.
07:56And more importantly,
07:57they go...
07:58They 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
08:03not 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.
08:11What a wonderful organization.
08:12Thank you, Patton.
08:15And Robin Thede, another actor-comedian.
08:18Three actor-comedians.
08:19Yes, we did it.
08:20Wow. I don't know what's going to happen
08:21with 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
08:35Celebrity Jeopardy that stands out to you?
08:36You know, it was a season of highs and lows.
08:38My first quarterfinal round, I answered, I don't know,
08:42three dozen questions without any incorrect answers.
08:45Yes, no 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
08:50and had the most money and everything.
08:54And 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.
09:02And I had a total moment and wrote Norman Lear
09:07and will never live that down
09:09because my dad is a massive Bob Newhart fan.
09:12So, yeah, he let me know that wasn't great.
09:16Well, there's no shame in losing to Kamau
09:18who knew his comedy history as well.
09:20And 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.
09:28Good luck.
09:28What charity are you playing for?
09:29So this time I'm playing for Black Girls Code,
09:32which is an amazing organization
09:33that helps young women, college age,
09:36and young professional women of color
09:37with community fellowships, scholarships,
09:41in coding, AI, all sorts of STEM occupations.
09:45So in kind of a homogenous male-dominated field,
09:47I'm excited to support their program.
09:49I love that.
09:49Let's win these great organizations some money.
09:54Pick up your signaling devices, you three.

17:06Let's go to the gifting suite for 400.
17:10How about a learn-to-do-this kit from Pearl Soho?
17:13Pearl is one of the two basic stitches you'll need to do.
17:16Patton.
17:16What is knitting?
17:17That's right.
17:18Art of Italian Renaissance, 800, please.
17:20After doing some ceiling work for an A-list celeb
17:23from 1508 to 1512,
17:25he worked on the marble interior of the Medici Chapel.
17:28Patton.
17:29Who's Michelangelo?
17:30Yes.
17:31Art of the Italian Renaissance, 1,000.
17:33Philosophers, including Plato,
17:35appear in Raphael's Fresco,
17:36School of this Capital City.
17:39Patton.
17:40What is Athens?
17:40You are correct for 1,000.
17:42Uh, let's do A in history for 800, please.
17:47In 1911, this Norwegian led the first expedition
17:50to reach the South Pole.
17:55The A there is Amundsen.
17:57Rolled Amundsen.
17:58But you three are on fire.
17:59What a round you are having.
18:00We need to pause for a second,
18:02but we will be right back.
18:03Celebrity 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,
18:18but 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?
18:26Um, I feel like I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm underwater,
18:28but 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, so 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.
18:40Because you have this, uh, roving tour,
18:42Choligarchy, is that?
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
18:48and 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, I am.
19:02You also have a box set coming out.
19:04Yes, it's at, it's called Best in Cho.
19:06It's about 40 years of stand-up comedy, so.
19:09It can't be 40 years.
19:10Yes, yes.
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, Bogner?
19:21I feel like Bogner.
19:22I feel, you know, it's give, it's giving Chopin.
19:25Like it's really giving, and they didn't have a funny pun like Best in Cho.
19:29No.
19:29I mean, you're kicking Chopin's butt.
19:31I, well, he could have had a good Best in Cho Pat.
19:34I think he did.
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, Patton,
19:45I understand you still get recognized,
19:47not just from your amazing body of work,
19:48but specifically from Celebrity Jeopardy.
19:51I get recognized all the time for losing to Ike Berenholtz.
19:57People love to remind me that I lost to Ike Berenholtz by one dollar.
20:02They're not being mean about it.
20:04They're like, oh man, I'm, you and Ike Berenholtz,
20:06and it came down to a dollar.
20:08Like, 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
20:18and just being ubiquitous.
20:19And everywhere I turn, there's Ike!
20:21Yeah, I'm always so happy to see that, so.
20:24Is there any chance that Ike is, like,
20:26paying 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,
20:33if I found out later that is what he was doing,
20:35that 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.
20:49I'm sure he's not doing that.
20:50All right, okay.
20:51I very much doubt it.
20:52Just like Margaret, you're short on sleep
20:54because you're also here from the road.
20:56Flew in from Detroit this morning.
20:58I've been awake since 4 a.m.
21:01Tell us about what you're doing comedy-wise
21:03once you wake up.
21:07I'm doing, uh, I'm also doing a lot of touring,
21:09and I currently have a new album out on Audible.
21:13It's a special called Black Coffee and Ice Water,
21:14and it's an actual album.
21:16I didn't film it as a special.
21:18I recorded an album.
21:19I wanted to have an album, classic album,
21:23and I'll be, uh, the vinyl will be coming out soon.
21:25On vinyl, no less.
21:26Yes, but you can go to audible.com right now

21:29Uh, it's-it's getting great reviews,
21:31and I'm-it's a whole new hour of material,

21:47I got a ton of new social media followers
21:49who said,
21:50hey, you were great on Jeopardy!
21:51Let's see if you're funny.
21:53I gotta say,
21:53usually those two things do not correlate.
21:55No!
21:55And I'm trying to be very serious
21:57and warrior-like on Jeopardy!
21:59But, um, yeah,
22:00it did bring in a whole new trough of fans,
22:02and even some family members
22:04that hadn't been speaking to me.
22:05So, yeah, it's been great.
22:07So, you won enough money
22:08that people were like,
22:09hey, let's call Robin.
22:10Right!
22:10And I was like,
22:11it's for charity!
22:11It's for charity.
22:12And then they said,
22:12lose my number again.
22:13So, yeah.

22:53Absolutely!
22:54I don't want to spoil anything.
22:55Yes!
22:55Bigfoot is singing its face off!
22:57Because I don't want to go
22:57to some Waiting for Godot...
22:59No, no, no, no.
23:00Bigfoot never shows.
23:01I want to see Bigfoot in act one.

38:34We'll begin with Margaret Cho.
38:37Got that true daily double under her belt.
38:38Has $11,000.
38:40What response did she write down?
38:43Who is Johnny Appleseed?
38:45Yes, planting apple trees all over the frontier.
38:48How much will you add, Margaret?
38:49You wagered, ooh, all $11,000.
38:51Big bet again, taking you to $22,000.
38:56Robin Thede was in second place with $17,700.
38:59Did she have Johnny Appleseed on her mind?
39:02She's right.
39:03Did she bet big as well?
39:04She sure did.
39:05She doubles up to $35,400.
39:08You're now in first place, Robin.
39:11You have backed Patton Oswalt up against the wall.
39:13He needs to get this right.
39:14Patton, do you have Johnny Appleseed?
39:17He got it.
39:18Do you risk enough?
39:20Another big wager, $15,000.
39:22Takes him to $47,800.
39:25And Patton Oswalt, you are a Celebrity Jeopardy!
39:27All-Stars semifinalist.
39:29What a great game, all three of you.
39:31Is it a reminder?
39:34Robin and Margaret, $30,000 will go to each of your charities.
39:37Thank you for being here tonight.
39:38Patton, well played.
39:40We will see you in the semis.
39:42And we will see you back on the Alex Kribeck stage next time on Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars.
39:47Good night.
39:48Did you know the latest episodes of Jeopardy! are now streaming on Hulu?
39:53Patton, you wind up with $47,800.
39:55That is the highest score we have seen so far in this season.
40:00That's an impressive total.
40:01I'll take it.
40:02You had a great game, sir.
40:04There's no two ways about it.
40:06But these two were really pushing it.
40:07They found Daily Doubles in the third round.
40:10They found Daily Doubles and went for it.
40:12They went for it.
40:13Yeah.
40:13It was amazing.
40:15Robin, you were considering going for the true Daily Double in a colorful category.
40:19Yeah, I should have done it.
40:20Color purple.
40:21I mean, it's easy now that you've seen it.
40:23Yeah, it's easy now.
40:23That's what I was saying.
40:24In hindsight, it's always like, oh, I should have done it.
40:26But I still did a bigger wager than I was probably comfortable with.
40:30Robin, I'm not your therapist.
40:31You don't have to defend yourself to me.
40:33You played great.
40:34What a fantastic game.
40:35And you as well, Margaret.
40:37I mean, you got burned on that one Daily Double.
40:39And rarely do we see players go back.
40:41But you were going to do it again.
40:42Yes, I did.
40:43I mean, I have to.
40:44I'm a glutton for punishment, really.
40:46That's the only way that I can really get ahead.
40:48Especially if you're playing with somebody like Patton.
40:51So, you know, you've got to, like, okay, well, if I don't have the skill, maybe I have the balls?
40:57Maybe.
40:59Well, this must be something about being a comedian that, like, under pressure on a stage, like, you can spit
41:04back, right?
41:05It's just your training, I guess?
41:07Yeah.
41:07Exactly.
41:07Or psychosis.
41:08Yeah.
41:09Oh, and also my hatred for Ike Varenholt.
41:11Really, really.
41:13I'm excited for the do-over.
41:15Coming for you, Ike.
41:15Yeah.
41:16I'm coming for you.
41:18Do you feel like you could take Ike, given a second chance?
41:21His buzzer technique is otherworldly.
41:24He has weird sorcerous powers with the buzzer.
41:28And then he also has that horrifically smart brain.
41:31So, I just got to get a ballpoint pen and just start clicking.
41:37You'll see.
41:38Working overtime.
41:38I'll be, I will be in Fryman Canyon tomorrow morning at dawn, running with my pen, just clicking, man, with
41:45the Rocky music playing.
41:47You're still alive in Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars.
41:50We'll see you in the semis.
41:55You
