Warning: This page contains spoilers for the May 15, 2023, second game of Jeopardy! Masters — please do not scroll down if you wish to avoid being spoiled. It will be updated alongside the Eastern Time airing of the show, beginning at about 8:30 PM Eastern.
This game’s Jeopardy! Masters contestants:
Sam Buttrey, an associate professor at the Naval Postgraduate School from Pacific Grove, California (2 points)
Andrew He, a software developer from San Francisco, California (8 points)
James Holzhauer, a self-described game show villain from Las Vegas, Nevada (9 points)
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Today’s second game features James Holzhauer, Andrew He, and Sam Buttrey. Sam’s got his work cut out for him tonight, playing against the two best players from the tournament thus far. Any points for Sam tonight would be at least a moral victory for him. That said, either James or Andrew would clinch a spot in the semifinals with a victory tonight.
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.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- Andrew’s interview certainly explained the cause of the canceled Jeopardy! Masters taping in March; it appears as though Andrew had to head back to San Francisco because his partner had gone into labor.
- It is not a surprise to me that the two players who have made the most glaring strategic mistakes of the tournament are in 5th and 6th right now.
Today’s box score: Jeopardy! Masters Box Score for May 15, 2023 (Game 2).
