Previously on "Celebrity Jeopardy!"...
Ken: Now, Katie Nolan had that big lead.
Did she have "Remember the Alamo"?
I did. She did.
Now, math not your favorite part of the game.
I made a mistake. You just had to wager more than $3,500.
Right. And I wagered $3,500. You wagered exactly $3,500.
I'm a moron! Oh, my God!
Christopher and Katie, you're going to be going to a tiebreaker clue.

Just like that, you're in the lead. What?
[ Laughs ]

Did he know it was "A Raisin in the Sun"?
He gets it right,
Dulé Hill... Alright.

Alright. Congratulations.

Steven. What is Iceland?
You recognized Iceland. Yes.
We finished three categories.
That means we're halfway through the round,
and we're gonna take a quick break.
"Celebrity Jeopardy!" continues right after these words.
[ Applause ]
Steven: So -- What's up with your buzzer?
Your buzzer is different than mine.
His buzzer's working different than ours.
Yeah, I'm like -- I'm like...
Let's chat with our three semifinalists.
Now, Dulé Hill, you had a runaway game
in your quarterfinal,
but that was also kind of a raucous game.
Do you think it's gonna get more serious here in the semis?
I think it is 'cause, you know, "Quick" --
"Quick Thumbs" Steven over here.
You know what I mean? [ Laughter ]
I think it is gonna get more serious as time goes on.
Steven, do you often get called "Quick Thumbs" Steven?
Uh, that was my nickname in high school. Dulé: [ Laughs ]
I never played "Jeopardy!" It was something else.
[ Laughs ] Nice.
Do you think you're gonna thrive in a more serious game, Dulé?
How are you gonna do?
You know, I think -- I think I will survive.
I will -- I will survive.
You will survive. A long as I live, you know, I will survive.
Who's Donna Summer?
[ Laughter ]
No! Gloria Gaynor.
Oh, right! Wow.
Take points away. [ Laughter ]
Take points away. Take points away.
Maybe 400. You could take away 400 points for that.
Ken Jennings made me look dumb.
What a show-off.
Dulé, tell us again about your charity.
Uh, I'm playing for an organization called All Rise.
I love this organization.
They really are about rehabilitation
instead of incarceration.
And they look to really make a difference in the --
in the justice system through treatment courts,
and it's drug treatment courts,
mental health treatment courts, and veterans treatment courts.
I think the more that we can, you know, give people a pathway
to be productive members of our society,
the better it is for the nation as a whole.
[ Applause ] Wonderful.
Thank you so much, Dulé. Good luck to you.
Katie Nolan, a sports comedy host originally from Framingham.
Now, your game came down to a tiebreaker... It did.
...in large part because of some interesting wagering.
What have you learned about Final Jeopardy!
since the quarterfinals, Katie?
Nothing I didn't already know,
which is that math, not my strong suit.
Management of money, not my strong suit. [ Laughs ]
Uh, I think I've learned that no matter what,
to put a "1" at the end of what I wager
so that I can't possibly make the same stupid mistake again.
But it was good TV, Ken.
We're gonna call that the Nolan Rule.
Yeah. That would be great. When in doubt, add a 1.
That's right. I like it.
And remind us who you're playing for, Katie.
I'm playing for the Association of Women in Sports Media.
It's a predominantly male field.
Obviously, I'm a woman who works in it,
but I want to bring more in behind me.
So they work with any women
who are interested in getting into sports media.
They help facilitate that through, uh, internships
and -- and mentorships and things like that.
They have campus chapters across the country.
So, trying to get more gals in the group.
That's great.
Yeah. Yeah.
[ Applause ]
If you're watching and you think that's your future,
Katie's gonna keep that door open for you.
Steven Weber, a "Celebrity Jeopardy!" veteran.
That's right. You have played before.
Yeah, 30 years ago.
But the quarterfinal was your first win.
Is it sweeter still after all that time?
Yes. Uh, it feels good to be this smart.
[ Laughter ]
Were there -- Were there decades
of just being down in the dumps about your --
Oh, yeah, decades of complete idiocy and fecklessness.
But now I'm --
I've got my hand on the rudder and I'm ready to go.
What am I saying? I've just realized this is the --
this is the third act of your biopic.
This is the -- the redemption.
This is right.
And then we have a fistfight, you and I.
Yeah. I... That's right.
And then we take a cross-country van ride together.
This biopic is getting amazing.
It's getting amazing. We go to space.
That's fantastic. And who are you playing for, Steven?
I'm playing for the SAG-AFTRA Foundation... [ Applause ]
...which is a nonprofit organization
that takes care of its, uh, performers,
elderly performers,
uh, people who are having kind of dire financial challenges.
Um, they have an emergency assistance program,
a disaster relief fund.
They -- a lot of resources.
And I've been a member of the guild since 1983,
so I want to give back to the guild
which has been doing such good work.
Man: Whoo! That's your community. Well done, sir.
[ Applause ]
At the moment you also have control of the board.
So all three of you can pick up your buzzers,
and we'll get right back into the Jeopardy! round. Not you. Put yours back down.
No.
Ken: You too, "Quick Thumbs."

The pride of Sayreville, New Jersey, is back with us.
Dulé Hill.
Dulé, I wanted to know,
before you were on "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
were you a fan of the show, did you ever watch "Jeopardy!"?
Oh, I was a huge fan of the show,
especially when you go back 30 years
or even almost 40 years now.
You know, playing with my mom, my grandmother, my family,
we used to love playing "Jeopardy!"
I thought I was very smart at the time.
I'm realizing, though,
that at home you don't have a little button like this.
You see, that's the only thing I wish we would've had at home
that would have made a difference so far.
You know, at home you can yell out the answer
and you get in first every time.
That's right. That's right. Right?
You know, really -- like, I love my grandmother.
She's passed away. I love my mom.
So it brings me back to that nostalgia of that time and I appreciate it.
That's really nice. I love when people have those warm family memories.
Oh, yeah. There's not a lot of TV institutions
around like "Jeopardy!" anymore.
Yeah, people can gather around and watch it all together.
Thank you so much for joining our "Jeopardy!" family
again tonight. Oh, yeah.
Katie Nolan, sports comedy host from Framingham, Massachusetts.
How did you prepare for "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
Well, it's tough because you don't know
what the categories are gonna be, right?
So I just -- any time I didn't know something
that happened in my day-to-day, I Googled it.
I don't know that I retained any of it.
I feel like I tried so hard
to learn everything over the last like two weeks,
that I think I may have actually just
gotten in the way of things I already knew.
So we're gonna see if it -- if it pays off.
One thing I didn't Google is how to make this buzzer work
faster than him, and I probably should have.
So let me get this straight --
Your plan was to spend two weeks
Googling everything in the universe...
Yes. ...and then you would win on "Jeopardy!"
Yeah, do you see flaws in that? 'Cause it sounds like a perfect plan to me.
No, I feel like that sounds perfect.
Steven Weber, originally from Queens. That's right.
I'm told you have been a "Jeopardy!" clue many times.
Were you aware?
Well, no, which is news to me,
which is actually a commentary on the kind of friends I have
because nobody called up and said,
"Hey, you're a clue on 'Jeopardy!'"
I can only hope that the question was, Who's handsome?
[ Laughs ]
Yeah, it just said, Steven Weber. Steven Weber.
And the correct response was, Who's handsome?
I want to know about your buzzer technique.
Oh, my God. Katie: Mm-hmm. Me too.
Katie and Dulé were very frustrated. Take notes.
Yeah. No, no no.
I don't know what you're comfortable revealing,
but what's going well for you right now?
Okay, so the reality is that I have had friends
who have played "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
and I called them to avail myself of their wisdom.
And they all said, "It's a buzzer game,
it's a buzzer game, and just listen, listen."
So I'm listening for the very end of
the -- the word, you know, and then trying to go in fast.
That's all I can say. I'm sorry, guys. I learned nothing from that.
Yeah. He gave us no tips.
I feel like he just gave away the Zen secret of "Jeopardy!"
No, because you know why? I'm still faster.
[ Laughter ]
Well, we'll see what happens. Yeah, we'll see now. Oh, my God.
Katie's kind of knocking at the door, I got to say.
But, Steven, you do have control of the board. Ugh.
