Today’s Celebrity Jeopardy! contestants:
W. Kamau Bell, a comedian, author & filmmaker originally from Chicago, Illinois, playing for DonorsChoose
Jackie Tohn, an actor originally from Oceanside, New York, playing for PATH
Margaret Cho, a comedian & actor originally from San Francisco, California, playing for Friendly House
Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:
Celebrity Jeopardy returns tonight at 9:00 (8:00 Central) on ABC and CTV2 with our first semifinal, between Margaret Cho, Jackie Tohn, and W. Kamau Bell. I think most prognosticators would put Margaret as a commanding favorite to win tonight’s game after an incredible performance in the quarterfinals—one that had the audience’s hearts in their collective mouths with some gutsy Daily Double bets. But these games are played for a reason, and there’s a lot of variance in this game—there are six Daily Doubles on that board, and anything can happen on them! Victory is not a guarantee for anybody in this game. I can’t wait to see what happens in this one.
