Tuesday, May 12, 2026:

Lisa Ann Walter (31.5% to win)
Playing for: Fund for Women’s Equality

Lisa Ann Walter on Celebrity Jeopardy!


88 correct, 16 incorrect
8/11 on rebound attempts (on 32 rebound opportunities)
26.54% in first on buzzer (82/309)
6/8 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $5,900)
3/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $10,725

Lisa Ann Walter returns to the Alex Trebek Stage following her Tournament of Champions appearance, where she isn’t the favorite against a pair of sports commentators in Katie Nolan and Mina Kimes. We’ll see how much her ToC shellshocking affects her gameplay in this event, and how much she and Ken talk about it in the interviews.

Katie Nolan (39.5% to win)
Playing for: The Trevor Project

Katie Nolan on Celebrity Jeopardy!


135 correct, 11 incorrect
14/15 on rebound attempts (on 27 rebound opportunities)
35.01% in first on buzzer (118/337)
8/10 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $28,000)
2/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $18,000

I’ll be honest: I was absolutely thrilled when I discovered that there are two separate people in American media with the name Katie Nolan, and it’s not this Katie Nolan whose name is on the masthead of a publication that has been acting rather poorly towards me over the last two months. This means that I can very happily cheer for Katie to do quite well this week!

The Unified Prediction Model likes Katie’s chances here.

Mina Kimes (29.0% to win)
Playing for: SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition

Mina Kimes on Celebrity Jeopardy!


101 correct, 15 incorrect
5/5 on rebound attempts (on 11 rebound opportunities)
39.29% in first on buzzer (99/252)
8/9 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $9,000)
1/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $16,800

Coming off what might be considered as an upset win over Andy Richter in the quarterfinals, Mina Kimes gets Lisa Ann Walter and Katie Nolan in this one. While Mina isn’t favored to win this by the Unified Prediction Model, she is more than capable of taking victory in this game, especially considering that she led everyone with 63 buzzer attempts in the quarterfinals.

Wednesday, May 13, 2026:

W. Kamau Bell (32.2% to win)
Playing for: DonorsChoose

W. Kamau Bell on Celebrity Jeopardy!


94 correct, 16 incorrect
4/5 on rebound attempts (on 20 rebound opportunities)
30.74% in first on buzzer (95/309)
5/6 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $11,305)
1/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $12,125

Sean Gunn (32.2% to win)
Playing for: Women for Women International

Sean Gunn on Celebrity Jeopardy!


104 correct, 10 incorrect
7/7 on rebound attempts (on 21 rebound opportunities)
38.89% in first on buzzer (98/252)
4/6 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $6,400)
1/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $20,333

Steven Weber (35.6% to win)
Playing for: New Directions for Veterans

Steven Weber on Jeopardy!


113 correct, 16 incorrect
7/7 on rebound attempts (on 25 rebound opportunities)
36.60% in first on buzzer (112/306)
6/7 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $24,700)
2/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $13,950

Overall Thoughts: This is one of those semifinals where you could play it 10 times and nobody would even win five of them. This one is going to be an evenly matched game between all three of our players with the win literally coming down to whoever the categories happen to suit slightly better.

Thursday, May 14, 2026:

Ike Barinholtz (40.2% to win)
Playing for: Noonan Syndrome Foundation

Ike Barinholtz on Celebrity Jeopardy!


163 correct, 8 incorrect
5/5 on rebound attempts (on 19 rebound opportunities)
41.80% in first on buzzer (153/366)
8/8 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $47,600)
4/5 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $18,260

Patton Oswalt (39.4% to win)
Playing for: Alice’s Kids

Patton Oswalt on Celebrity Jeopardy!


139 correct, 6 incorrect
7/9 on rebound attempts (on 20 rebound opportunities)
36.01% in first on buzzer (121/336)
11/11 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $66,800)
4/4 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $17,400

Mira Sorvino (20.4% to win)
Playing for: UN Voluntary Trust Fund for Victims of Trafficking in Persons

Mira Sorvino on Celebrity Jeopardy!


92 correct, 18 incorrect
7/10 on rebound attempts (on 24 rebound opportunities)
35.32% in first on buzzer (89/252)
7/8 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $11,800)
2/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $12,633

Overall Thoughts: Fireworks time! I actually feel a little bit bad for Mira, as she gets to be given this draw after a come-from-behind win over Mo Rocca in the quarterfinals. That being said, we get a partial rematch here of the Season 1 final with Ike and Patton, and I am already looking forward to every single minute of Thursday’s episode. Ike and Patton are by far the two strongest players remaining in the draw here, and I am expecting an extremely close and competitive match between the two of them. It would not surprise me to see both of them with massively high scores entering Final Jeopardy.
