Today’s Celebrity Jeopardy! contestants:

Joel Kim Booster, an actor from “Fire Island” and a comedian, playing for Selah Neighborhood Homeless Coalition

Joel’s quarterfinal: Sunday, November 6, 2022

Wil Wheaton, an actor from “Stand by Me” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation”, playing for the National Women’s Law Center

Wil’s quarterfinal: Sunday, October 30, 2022

John Michael Higgins, the host of “America Says” and an actor, playing for Actors Equity Foundation

John Michael’s quarterfinal: Sunday, October 23, 2022

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

I’m going to sound like a broken record with this, but with six of them to be found on the Celebrity game boards, Daily Double finding will 100% be the order of the day. And this game will absolutely come down to who finds them and who takes best advantage of them. If he finds them, John Michael Higgins realized just how much fun it was to double his score, while Wil Wheaton found the last four in his quarter-final. Joel Kim Booster took a slightly more traditional approach to winning his game last week—being quickest on the signaling device. Whether that will work for him or not in this semifinal is still to be seen. One thing’s for sure, though: Joel Kim Booster earned a lot of props for venturing into last week’s Reddit game thread to join the discussion!

Who will be joining Ike Barinholtz in the million-dollar final in February? We’ll see at the end of tonight!

For those who don’t know, the next episode of Celebrity Jeopardy! will air on Thursday, January 5.

PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they can, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Final Jeopardy category: Adventure Novels

Final Jeopardy! clue: The villainess in this French novel kind of undercuts the title when she says, “Among these four men two only are to be feared”

We have many new offerings at The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store! Proceeds from the sale of the “Doctor Oz’s Fast-Acting Snake Oil Elixir” T-shirt are being donated to The Trevor Project:

Joel found the Daily Double incredibly quickly—on clue #2. Meanwhile, it was a pretty well-played opening segment, except for our players not really realizing the point of “The Edwardian Era”—people named Edward. In the second half of the round, Wil played very well, picking up 8 correct to take a lead after 30 clues!

The opening segment of Double Jeopardy! was highlighted by Wil going for a True Daily Double—and successfully converting it to jump out to a big lead! Meanwhile, Joel found the other Daily Double in the second half of the round, and doubled up his own score! This is definitely a two-horse race going into Triple Jeopardy!
