Warning: This page may contain spoilers for the October 18, 2023 game of Celebrity Jeopardy!, especially for those of you in the Pacific time zone—please do not scroll down if you wish to avoid being spoiled.
Today’s Celebrity Jeopardy! contestants:
Melissa Fumero, an actor & director originally from Lyndhurst, New Jersey, playing for the International Community Foundation supporting This is About Humanity
Shane Battier, a 2-time NBA champion originally from Birmingham, Michigan, playing for the Battier Take Charge Foundation
Steven Weber, an actor originally from Queens, New York, playing for the SAG-AFTRA Foundation
Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:
The fourth quarterfinal of Season 2 of Celebrity Jeopardy features Melissa Fumero (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), 2-time NBA champion Shane Battier, and Steven Weber (Wings). It’s been 31 years since Steven was on the Alex Trebek stage; he was starring as Brian Hackett on Wings in 1992 when he appeared on the very first Celebrity Jeopardy tournament, contesting a spirited battle with Cheech Marin for most of the match before Cheech pulled away in the back half of Double Jeopardy. Additionally, Melissa’s role as the competitive rule-following Amy Santiago on Brooklyn Nine-Nine might place viewer expectations on her performance in this one. Moreover, Shane Battier was named one of the 20 smartest athletes in sports by Sporting News in 2010; he graduated from Duke with a degree in religion and a 3.5 GPA before beginning his NBA career. This should be a very competitive and compelling match!
Judging by the episode numbers assigned to these matches, they are airing out-of-order from when they were recorded; I expect this match’s winner to appear in the same semifinal as Katie Nolan, who advanced in last week’s game.
