We will begin with you, Cari.
What did you come up with?
"What is Brendan's mind?" Mm-hmm.
[ Laughter ]
It is very notorious. It's notorious there.
As he's mollywhopped everyone today.
[ Laughter ]
Unfortunately, that is not correct. I figured.
How much did you wager?
$1,000, yeah. $1,000. Alright.
That'll leave you with $100. Yeah.
B.J.
What was your response?
"What is going on here?" Okay.
[ Laughter ]
That's also not correct.
And how much did you wager?
$1,600. Alright.
That gives you $6,800. Mm-hmm.
Well, Brendan...
This'll be ironic, 'cause I'm pretty sure I got it wrong.
Okay. Well, what did you write down?
"What is The Green Mill?"
Unfortunately, that is not correct.
Correct notorious place -- Alcatraz.
Oh. The maximum-security prison in San Francisco Bay
was nicknamed "The Rock,"
and it housed famous convicts like Capone
and Machine Gun Kelly.
And he -- Al Capone played the banjo.
Brendan, how much did you wager?
$10,000. That leaves you with $28,000.

Really, really, a wonderful game.
We will see you in the semifinals,
and we will see all of you
in the next episode of "Celebrity Jeopardy!"

Why do you know so many things? Cari: Yes.
You seem to have a very broad swath of trivia knowledge.
My mom was a bartender, and she would take me to work a lot
because she was a single mother.
And where better to raise a child?
[ Laughter ]
And they had a book behind the bar called
"Super Trivia Encyclopedia."
I would sit in the back of the bar
and I'd basically read that book.
And it pleased my mother.
[ Laughter ]
So I -- I kept learning ever since, I guess.
It's a little tragic. [ Laughter ]
But also really inspiring.
Oh! She's dead now, B. J.
Uh-oh. Yikes.
I really can't win today.
This is not -- not my day.
But you avenged your uncle, so you're one for two.
Yeah, great. Great. Most importantly.
Super happy. So when you go home to your family,
you're gonna say "I might have won."
I'll say the same thing. Uh...
[ Laughter ] Me, too. Totally.
I hope this doesn't air... Me, too.
...for a long time.
tomorrow and say, I'm gonna go on the TV show
"You guys, I killed it."
You'll see. I did it right.
You'll see. You'll see.
It really was. That was impressive.
So, I'm piecing together
Sudeikis has nothing to do with your show.
This is all... [ Laughter ]
This is all you?
And how did you get so good at the buzzer? Yes!
Um, I'm a dancer. Uh-huh?
And what dance goes like that?
[ Laughter ]
Well, we will see if you can keep those buzzer skills going...
...for the semifinals. Thank you.
Yeah, try that. I'm gonna try it like this.
Okay, great.
