Here's Matt Rogers.
[ Cheers and applause ]
An actor from Boston, Massachusetts.
Since 2018, he's hosted the popular game show
"America Says."
He's worked consistently for 40 years,
so it would take the full hour
to list all of his career credits.
Please welcome John Michael Higgins.
[ Applause ]
And an actor from San Francisco, California.
She won an Emmy for her time on CBS's "The Talk."
She currently voices Lana Kane on FX's "Archer,"

At this point, Aisha is the only prior champion

Welcome back to "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
Matt Rogers, what a pleasure to have you here. Matt: Hi, there.
You play Darcy on Showtime's "I Love That for You"
with Vanessa Bayer and Molly Shannon.
Tell us about the charity you're playing for today.
Well, today I am stumbling through this game,
playing for Story Pirates Changemakers.
They're an amazing organization
that really encourages creative writing in schools.
They do something very cool.
They take stories written by elementary school-aged children
and then professional actors, comedians, writers
all stage them,
and they actually surprise the kids
by going back to the school, and they don't know
their stories are gonna be performed.
And it's really cool to watch them
see what they're capable of,
and I'm just really passionate about that.
That's really incredible. Thank you.
John Michael Higgins,
you were recently in the reboot of "Saved by the Bell."
I was. Obviously, you're known for so many things.
Tell us about the charity you're playing on behalf of.
Well, thank you, Mayim.
Today, I'm playing for the Actors' Equity Foundation,
and also that includes the Entertainment Community Fund,
which is an organization -- very old organization,
150 years old -- that helps performing artists
to continue their craft.
It's very difficult.
It's a tough business, as we all know,
and it's not made up of a bunch of famous people.
They're actually just normal people.
And they need help every now and then.
So that's what the fund does.
It's really a wonderful foundation,
so thank you so much.
Thank you, Mayim. I agree.
Aisha Tyler -- "Archer,"
which is where many of us know you from,
is currently in its 13th season.
You continue to also host CW's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
And you are playing for Planned Parenthood.
Tell us some of the things Planned Parenthood does.
I am. Well, Planned Parenthood provides
free healthcare services to women and families
around the country --
healthcare screenings, cancer screenings,
STI screenings, free birth control,
and all kinds of family-planning services.
They are a comprehensive healthcare organization,
really protecting the people
that don't have access to healthcare.
When I was in high school,
we did not have health insurance.
That was where I went for my medical checkups.
And it's a great organization, and as you may imagine,
we need Planned Parenthood now more than ever,
because they work very hard to make sure
that every single person, and especially every woman,
is the architect of their own destiny.
Beautiful. All right.

Welcome back.
Matt Rogers, I want to talk a little more to you.
You have your very first comedy special on Showtime. Yeah.
It's coming out -- is it Sunday, December 4th?
Yeah. And it's called
"Matt Rogers: Have you Heard of Christmas?"
It's called, "Have You Heard of Christmas?"
which is an important question we all need to be asking.
I wrote an original Christmas album.
You know how Mariah Carey's the queen of Christmas?
I'm the prince of Christmas. No one knows it yet.
But you will when it streams December 2nd
and airs December 4th on Showtime.
Wonderful. And is this something you've been working on?
Like, have you always been waiting?
I feel like if you're a comedian,
it's like you want that first special.
Is this that for you?
This is a big deal for me.
The special thing is fine, but I'm a pop star.
And so that's kind of what I want to get across,
is that people don't get that yet.
But they will. They will.
Well, I cannot wait to tune in. Yeah.
And John Michael Higgins. Yes.
I'm a huge fan of yours. Thank you.
"Best in Show," "Mighty Wind."
This is a very, very important part
of a lot of our kind of comedy development.
But you also -- you are host of "America Says."
Tell us what that is.
Well, "America Says" is a game show.
And, you know, you can't really judge
until you walk in another man's shoes.
And I'm on the contestant side of the equation now.
It is not comfortable. So I...
I really am going to come back to my own show
with much, much more understanding of my contestants.
I really have not been taking them in.
I should really feel sorry for them.
So -- and I actually am very bad at the show myself.
I'm very bad at the game.
Every time I try to sort of honestly play, you know,
in my head while I'm hosting, I fail miserably.
Yeah. So... Well, you're doing pretty well today.
How are you? How are you when you're playing?
Are you good? Terrified.
[ Laughter ]
You seem to know all the answers.
[ Laughing ] That's because they're written down.
She's got a thing in her ear, I know it.
I saw. They put a thing in her ear.
Your demeanor -- You just seem to know what the answers are.
I'm a very -- I lie for a living as an actor.
I think all four of us lie for a living. 100%.
Though I will say there are certain categories
that I feel more confident about.
But as you said, the pressure of having to buzz in
and articulate in front of humans --
that's terrifying to me. Crazy.
I'd be really good at this at home by myself.
That's -- Yeah.
Aisha Tyler, you have so many things to plug.
You work on things that go for a very long time.
But there's also a reboot of "Criminal Minds,"
which is coming out soon -- Thanksgiving, correct?
Yes, Thanksgiving. Season 16 of Criminal Minds,
"Criminal Minds: Evolution,"
drops on Paramount Plus on Thanksgiving,
and we're super excited to bring that show back.
It is the number-one streaming show in the world.
-Whoo! -Wow.
So really excited to be back,
you know, saving the world from bad guys.
And "Archer" continues, as it should.
"Archer," season 13.
"Whose Line Is It Anyway?" Season 20-X.
I don't actually know what season we're making now.

We'll begin with Aisha.
Aisha, what did you come up with?
"What is the Eiffel Tower?"
That is correct.
The 984-foot Eiffel Tower was built for
the International Exposition of 1889,
surpassed in height only by the Chrysler Building.
How much did you wager?
All of it. That'll take you to $24,200.
Let's go over to Matt Rogers.
Matt, what did you come up with?
"What is the Eiffel Tower?" Eiffel Tower.
Really at the buzzer. Very nice. Yeah.
And how much did you wager?
$3,000.
That puts you in the lead for the moment
with $30,500.
It all comes down to this.
John Michael Higgins,
did you write down Eiffel Tower?
Yes, you did. And how much did you wa--
Hold on. Hold on.
How much did you wager?
$3,000. That gives you $31,400.
Congratulations.
You are our "Jeopardy!" champion,
and you advance to the semifinals.
Matt and Aisha, what a wonderful game.
$30,000 will be donated to the charities that you chose.
Thank you so much for playing.
What a fantastic game.
We will see you next time on "Celebrity Jeopardy!"

Congratulations.
-Yes. -Thank you. Thank you.
-What a game. -It was a great game.
Matt, every time you answered something,
you were so excited.
It was so joyful to watch.
I mean, this is just like such a dream come true, right?
I remember watching this show, like, in my house.
My mom was cooking dinner. It was always on.
It's, like, always been a part of my life.
So it's exciting to be on "Jeopardy!"
And, Aisha, what was it like this time around
as a celebrity contestant?
Very stressful, as you can tell.
It's a buzzer game, guys. It's a buzzer game.
It's not just an answer game. It's a buzzer game.
And you can have the answer, and if you don't buzz in
at the right time, you don't have a shot.
And then also, don't repeat back a clue
as the answer to the question.

I had a friend in college who was, like,
a two-day "Jeopardy!" champ, maybe three-day or something.
This was in, like, '84, you know.
And he gave me that tip about, like, search --
how to search for the Doubles.
And then if it's early rounds...
Just throw it all in?
...because all the money comes later.
Almost 40 years later, it paid off and we're glad.
We will see you in the semifinals.
Congratulations again. Thank you.
