Let's do Ants for $500.
[ Beep ]
That's an M.C. Escher joint.

[ Beep ]
How soon we forget. "Air Bud."
Oh. Oh, "Air Bud."
Ah. He's a dog,
but he can play every sport.
I thought that was gonna be in the Oscars category.
Oh. Yes. Yes. Agreed.
"Air Bud" is a classic. We can all agree. Yeah.
We can also agree it's time to take our first break.
We'll be back in just a moment
with much more "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
[ Applause ]
I thought buzzer was gonna be my problem. Mark: No.
It's not. It's in -- It's the brain.
It's the brain... It's the brain.
...that's the problem.
Let's meet tonight's three celebrities.
Utkarsh Ambudkar is an actor
originally from Baltimore. Mm-hmm.
And, Utkarsh, this is, of course,
nothing you would say about yourself,
so let me do it.
You've been -- You were
once selected for a very flattering list.
Am I right? Yes.
Is it true what I've been told --
that because of your obvious sexiness,
you were one of People magazine's Sexiest Men Alive?
That is a true statement. -Whoa.
But it was -- To be fair,
it was the sexiest 38-year-old.
I turned 39 less than two months later,
and they told me to give up the throne immediately.
So I held it for less than 60 days. Wow.
Yeah. So my -- my butt did not leave the seat very warm.
You can age out of being on the People's Sexiest Man?
Apparently. Yes.
It's a case-by-case basis, I assume.
Like, Sean Connery. Did they let him go longer or...
I would assume James Bond
got a little bit more leeway than I did.
Yes. Tell us about the charity
you're gonna be playing for here.
I'm playing for SAG-AFTRA.
I'm supporting the Emergency Financial Assistance
and Disaster Relief Fund.
For those of you who may or may not know,
like, our community is mostly working-class people.
And when circumstances arise
that, you know, we can't control that --
that make it hard for us to support our families,
we need extra help. We live in a town
that's based solely on this industry to help everyone out.
So I just thought we'd win some money
and help some people take care of their families today.
Our community. So important right now.
[ Applause ]
And I have some good news for you, Utkarsh.
Our judges have determined that "teriyaki" is an acceptable name
for those Japanese chicken skewers,
which means we're adding $1,000 to your score right now
without doing a thing.
-Ooh. -Whoa.
Maybe Emily Hampshire is not thrilled
about that extra $1,000 for you. Mm.
Emily is originally from Montreal,
an actress and a writer.
Now, you play a lot of college students.
You have an academic demeanor, I would say.
I have played college students.
I've played geologists, scientists.
What's your science background?
Zero. Okay.
And what I've -- But I've learned from these characters,
and what I've learned is that you can't improvise science.
[ Laughter ]
So it's not helping me here at all.
Yeah. Often people discover that on "Jeopardy!"
that it's -- you know, that your improv ability is limited. Yeah.
But tell us about your charity, Emily.
I'm playing for GLAAD, which is the world's
largest LGBTQ+ media advocacy organization.
And they ensure fair, accurate, inclusive representation
of LGBTQ+ people in the media.
And, I mean, I think visibility and representation
is kind of everything now, especially now.
The work they're doing is -- It's vital,
but also, honestly, it's kind of life and death
for a lot of people in that community. It absolutely is.
Thank you so much. That's wonderful.
[ Applause ]
Last, but not least, we have Mark Duplass,
originally from New Orleans. A filmmaker and an actor.
And I understand you have
some "Celebrity Jeopardy!" connections.
You got tips from a "Celebrity Jeopardy!" champ.
Yeah. So, Ike Barinholtz,
who won the whole shebang last year,
is a friend of mine.
So I immediately texted him and I was like, "Inside scoop.
Like, what -- what -- what do you do?"
And I was expecting a couple of, you know,
little thoughts back.
And he sent me, like, a five-minute video,
instructional video, with him with buzzer techniques,
different ways of holding the hand... Whoa.
...how one might click it fast, but not too fast.
And it completely overwhelmed me and I deleted it.
[ Laughter ]
You can't play Ike's game. You're gonna play Mark's game.
I'm gonna play my game.
I like it. Tell us about your charity.
So I am playing for an organization called BlinkNow.
They're a grassroots organization in rural Nepal,
and they're sort of run for the community by the community
and they run a forever group home for children who need it.
They have one of the largest green schools in the area.
They have a bunch of services for -- for women,
whether that's stuff in the home
or getting them microloans to start their own businesses.
And they have such a tiny sort of annual operating budget
that anything here would be a real boon.
And I just want to say that your charities seem amazing,
but mine's empirically better.
[ Laughter ]
Utkarsh, not only do you have control of the board,
you're now just $100 off the lead,
thanks to the magic of teriyaki.
Go ahead and pick a category and a dollar amount for it.
Let me pull out [Sighs] my weapon.
Let's have Ants for $400, please.
Here come Ants.
[ Beep ]
They sell ant farms.
-Oh. -Oh, yeah.
Ken: "Oh." Yeah.
Utkarsh, back to you.
Let's step out of our comfort zone.
Oui Oui, History! for $500, please.

was signed here in this stately residence's Hall of Mirrors.

Okay, let's do Hey! That's Not an Element! for $400.
Utkarsh.
What is silver?
Sorry. No.
Mark. What is bronze?

All right, let's go with Chicken Five Ways, $300.

-All right. -Oh.
Holding their little leaves. Of course.
Mark, back to you.
Also an Animal Sound, $200, please.
[ Beep ]
First you got to cut the bark.
Oh. Oh.
-Like a dog. -Animal sounds.
Oh, bark. Oh. Yes.
Quack. Duck. It's gonna sound like that.
Let's do it. Now we know what it is. Whoa. Yeah.
Animal Sounds for $100. Let's do it.
[ Laughter ]
Utkarsh. What is a tweet?
Now we know what celebrities know -- tweets. Mark: Yes!
Can we -- Can we run that one back? Emily: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a lot easier the second time. Mark: Yeah.
Let's do Oui Oui, History! for $400, please.
The answer there -- the Daily Double in the round.
[ Applause ]
Utkarsh, you can wager any or all of your $1,000.
Can I wager all of Mark's winnings?
[ Laughter ] I'm afraid not.
-Then -- -I'll give you 10%, though,
if you want to do it that way.
Marxist "Jeopardy!"
I'm gonna -- Well, look, my wife doesn't let me gamble,
so just flip the whole thing.
$1,000, please. Okay.
Betting it all on -- I'm wild, baby!
Oui Oui, History! Here's your clue.
What is...
Shawshank?
No.
[ Laughter ]
I like it. It's kind of the Shawshank of Paris.
Or it was. The Bastille.
Mm. Yes.
What is the Bastille? Yes, yes, yes.
Your second guess. Yes, yes, yes.
Well, select again, Utkarsh.

So I think your family's gonna be okay.
Chicken tikka masala...
-All right. -Oh, come on!
...is the Scottish variant.
Oh, you're gonna get that after the commercial break.
It's less authentic. I know. They're gonna give it to you.
[ Laughter ]
Please. For my family's sake.
[ Laughter ]
In the meantime, you can select again.

That brings you back up to -$1,400.
[ Laughter ]
You've just got a little bit of work to do.
But you know what? You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna double the dollar values for you.
And we'll be right back.
Emily makes the first selection
in Double Jeopardy! after this.

as we head into Double Jeopardy! But you know what?
Things can change very quickly in this round.
Two Daily Doubles and these categories.
We start off with some...
Utkarsh: Oh, boy.
Mark: Oh.
Here each correct response will be made entirely out of letters

[ Applause ]
Utkarsh Ambudkar,
I want to hear about who's rooting for you at home.
Who's the Utkarsh rooting section?
Oh, I got my wife and three kids at home.
But we just had a new baby. She's 2 months old.
Oh, congrats. So nobody's rooting for me as such.
They're just rooting for a good night's sleep
and not to have, like, a dirty diaper thrown at them.
I see. Yeah.
It's the joys of childbirth, people.
[ Laughter ]
Love everyone at home. Love you guys.
Emily Hampshire with us from Montreal.
What about your family?
Who helped you prepare for the show?
Well, not my family. My -- The Internet helped me.
I-I searched for easy ways to learn all the presidents.
I found a rap on there that I learned.
But, no, my dad is a big "Jeopardy!" fan.
So when this came about, I-I told him right away,
which was a huge mistake because he was prouder
than he's ever been of anything I've ever done in my life.
And I hadn't even done it yet. He hasn't seen this.
So it's all downhill from here.
No, no, no, no, no.
As a father, I know he's gonna be very proud. Okay.
But you kind of buried the lede. Tell me about the rap.
Oh, yeah. I learned a rap for all the presidents,
which is serving me very not well here.
How -- How does one rap all the presidents, Emily?
Well, I could do it.
I didn't realize I was gonna be next to an actual rap star.
No judgment. It's -- It's about... Okay.
...being brave enough to dive in.
Go for it. Okay.
♪ George Washington was called the Father of the Nation ♪
♪ John Adams passed Treasury legislation ♪
♪ The famous Thomas Jefferson bought Louisiana ♪
♪ From James Madison, the War of 1812 began-a ♪
And it goes on.
Mark: Wait. Wow.
That was good. It goes on.
Now, by my calculation, that was just four.
Oh, it goes -- There's 46.
Could -- Could -- Do you mind?
Could we just...
[ Laughter ]
But I realized, like, if I -- there's an answer,
I have to go through all that.
[ Laughter ]
Thank you for all the edutainment.
This is -- This is priceless.
Mark Duplass, you apparently have watched "Jeopardy!" before
because you've seen yourself on the show, right?
What happened?
So this is crazy. I'm a -- I'm a filmmaker,
but I'm sort of an independent filmmaker.
And -- And a lot of you would not have heard
of my movies that I make.
And a friend of mine sent me a video saying,
"You got to see this." And it was a clip from "Jeopardy!"
And it was a Before and After clue.
And it was, "Jeff, Who Lives at Blank Depot."
And I had made a movie called "Jeff, Who Lives at Home."
And I was so thrilled to be on the show.
But my friend who sent the clip unfortunately left it too long.
And we got to cut to all three contestants
just staring blankly at the screen like, "Boy,
the writers are really digging deep for something here."
What that means is, you know, we at "Jeopardy!"
love mumblecore. Yes. Yes.
But we just can't find three contestants every night
that share our passion, unfortunately. Exactly. Yeah.
But, you know, just being mentioned, that's the real.
That's the win, baby.
Emily, you have control of the board.
You're mounting a comeback, I believe. Oh.
Go ahead and pick a category and a dollar amount.
I will take Random U.S. State Facts for $200, please.

All right, here's your clue in Out of Breath.
Remember that category.
What is...
Mark? ...hater?
[ Beep ] Hater is correct. Wow.
Whoa! Right at the buzzer.
Yeah. In the nick of time.
I'm just very grateful... Whew!
...I got that right because I could not go home
to my two daughters if I missed this.
Daddy loves you,
but he missed the Taylor Swift clue.
Emily: Yeah. Glad to be alive,
even though I peed my pants a little bit.
Let's take Out of Breath for $800, please.

The answer there --
the last Daily Double in the round.
Think very carefully about this, Mark.
You are close to Utkarsh's lead. All right.
Let's go with $5,000.
Wow. Okay. For $5,000,
here's your clue in Alaska.
Before its native name, Denali,
was restored in 2015,
America's tallest peak was named for this guy,
who never set foot in Alaska.
It's a peak.
Who is...
[ Beep ] Ran out of time,
I'm afraid. It was Mount McKinley before.
-Oh. -Yes. All right.
That's President William McKinley.
I was doing the rap. Did you get there in time?
Yeah, no, I did not get there in time. No.
Here's your final clue in Alaska.
Mark. Who's Michener?
Correct. Taking you to $15,100.
But missing that Daily Double
means Utkarsh is still in the lead with $19,900.
Emily, you've been so delightful.
We don't want to lose you early.
You are gonna stay and play Final Jeopardy!
Let's find out what category you'll be dealing with today.
Astronomy. Interesting.
We'll find out what these three celebrities
know about astronomy...
right after this.
Now, before we begin Final Jeopardy!
there's a couple scoring changes we need to note.
Emily, you'll see that we've given you $500
just so you're around for the fun. Just to be nice.
No. So you have something to wager.
Thank you. We didn't want to lose you for Final.
Thank you. Thank you for coming back.
And Utkarsh's score during the break
went up by $1,200.
Utkarsh, our judges determined that your response of bulgogi
was just as correct as kimchi. Phew!
Asian food has done very well for you.
You know more than our judges about yakitori and bulgogi,
it turns out. Thank goodness.
That brings you to $21,100.
And it brings us to Final Jeopardy!
Let's find out what the stars know about the stars.
Astronomy is the category, and here's their clue.
30 seconds, players.
Good luck.
♪♪
Let's begin with Emily Hampshire in the middle.
Emily's still writing something. What was her response?
"What is stars?" And then you drew some.
Yeah, I drew a star, a moon.
And that's supposed to be a planet,
but it looks like an eyeball.
I think it's great.
I wish I could award a correct response just for the drawing,
but unfortunately, stars is not right.
That'll drop you down to zero.
Mark Duplass in second place with $15,100 wrote down...
"What is a black hole?"
That is correct.
Oh!
And then you said "hi" to Ora and Molly.
Also correct, as far as I know.
You wagered $15,097.
You nearly double your money.
You now have $30,197,
a big lead over Utkarsh.
So it's all gonna come down to Utkarsh's response.
He's shaking his head.
He wrote down...
Oh!
"What is a black hole?"
Mark: That's good.
You did a little thing. That's mean.
I drew a little picture of a guy.
[ Laughter ] Also.
Extra credit for the little picture of the guy.
It's you, Ken. But I still like -- I still --
That's nice. I still like Emily's picture,
but it's all gonna depend on this wager.
Did he bet enough?
$9,101.
Takes him to $30,201.
By $4,
Utkarsh, you are a "Celebrity Jeopardy!" champion
and you advance to our semifinals.
Congratulations. Wow.
But, Mark and Emily, you each win $30,000 for your charities.
Mark: Yes. And we loved having you here.
Well done.

[ Applause ]
