Andy here with a recap! (Thanks to Keith for providing us with the screenshots)
Today’s players:
It sounded to Alex like Alison was introduced as a “funraiser”, not “fundraiser”!
J! round categories:

ALPHABETICALLY LAST
OFFICIAL STATE STUFF
LITERARY POTENT POTABLES
L _ _ S
Alex’s hearing must be going. He had to ask Michele to repeat an answer early on!
OFFICIAL STATE STUFF $600 comes as no surprise: The envelope please: Nebraska’s state soft drink is this kiddie favorite invented in the state in 1927. If I ever get close to being on the show, I’m going to get Jeanie to quiz me on All Things Nebraska.
At the first break, the scores were:
Michele $3,600
James $2,400
Alison $2,200
Alison’s husband wants to compete in the World Wife-Carrying Championships in Finland! (As soon as Alex finished his intro, though, I just had a feeling that the interview was going in that direction!)
Coming out of the interviews, the Daily Double came at ALPHABETICALLY LAST $1000! Michelle’s to play, the scores were:
Michele $6,000
James $3,800
Alison $2,200
Michele bet $1,000. Her clue: …of the 12 apostles. Michele went for Peter and fell to $5,000.
At the end of the round, the scores:
Michele $4,400
James $4,200
Alison $3,200

FJ! category: BROADWAY
FJ! clue: In 2013 this musical based on a movie became the first show to gross $1 billion on Broadway

James 15200 – 10000 = 5200
