From the Alex Trebek Stage at Sony Pictures Studios,
this is "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
Please welcome tonight's celebrity finalists.
She's hosted "Garbage Time" and "NFL Films Presents."
It's Emmy winner Katie Nolan.
[ Cheers and applause ]
You know her from "The Parent Trap"
and can catch her starring in ABC's "Abbott Elementary."

And now here is your host --
Ken Jennings!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you, Johnny Gilbert,
and welcome, everyone, to the culmination
of this entire season of "Celebrity Jeopardy!" --
our championship final.
Over the past few months, we've seen 27 stars shine
up here on the Alex Trebek Stage,
but none did so quite so brightly
as our three finalists --
Mo Rocca, Lisa Ann Walter, and Katie Nolan.
And they're back tonight
competing for the ultimate prize --
$1 million for charity.
We are less than an hour from finding out which of you
will walk away a "Jeopardy!" champion
and take home our "Celebrity Jeopardy!" trophy.
Good luck to all three of you. Let's get into the game.
Here are your categories in the Jeopardy! round.
We begin with...
Let it never be said that we go easy
in "Celebrity Jeopardy!," Mo.
Right? Where do you want to begin?
Night At The Museum for $200.
Mo. Who is Michelangelo?
That's it.
Uh, Night At The Museum for $300.
[ Beep ] Oh.
"Who is Georgia O'Keeffe?"
I know that one! Occurred to Lisa...
It's a punch line to one of my jokes. ...a little too late.
You tell a Georgia O'Keeffe joke?
Yeah. You don't want to know, Ken.
Yeah, let's not tell it right now.
Might be a little early in the evening.
Mo, back to you. Night At The Museum for $400.
In 1904, photographer Edward Steichen
captured a now-iconic image
of this triangular New York City building at twilight.
Lisa Ann.
What is the Flatiron Building?
Yes.
Uh, Classical Composers for $100.
Although the mystery lives on,
experts agree it's very unlikely
that Antonio Salieri
killed this prolific composer.
Mo.
Who is Mozart? Right.
Classical Composers for $200.
Katie.
Who is Beethoven? That's right.
Uh, let's do Organic Chemistry for $100.

The mole.
Ahh, that would have been the clue. Yeah.
It's all coming together.
What are they talking about? I don't know.
You were afraid of this category. I know.
Katie: Let's just finish it off, then.
Organic Chemistry for $500.
Put it to bed.
[ Beep ]
Those are radicals.
But at least there's no more Organic Chemistry, Katie.
That's right. Choose another category.
I mean, because they're all so great and exciting
and I'm experts in all of them.
Uh...College-Level History Courses for $100.
Lisa Ann.

Um...
Classical Composers, $500.

I practiced.
Katie: Uh, College-Level History Courses for $300.
Mo.
That is going to be... 41, 43.
Um, who is...? Time's up, I'm afraid.
Bill Clinton.
Lisa or Katie?
I ain't going for it.
Katie. Who is Clinton?
It is Bill Clinton. Yes!
Last president of his century.
I just did the math.
Um, uh, College-Level History Courses for $400.
Mo.
What are the Salem witch trials?
That's correct. Pulls you out of the hole.
You have $300 at the moment.
All three of you off and running
as we enter our first commercial break.
We'll come back with more "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
right after this.
Lisa Ann: Whoo! I know, it's very frustrating.
It's very -- You'll get it, though.
It'll come around. She's a fickle mistress.
I know.
Let's meet our three finalists.
Katie Nolan was introduced first.
A sports-comedy host
originally from Framingham, Massachusetts.
Katie, when we last saw you, that was the best
Daily Double game of any player in this tournament.
You earned $19,000 on Daily Doubles in your semifinal.
Huh. Wow.
How are you feeling today?
I didn't know that, so I feel better now,
but I'm very nervous.
I'm excited, honored, but still pretty nervous.
Well, I'm glad we could empower you
with some of your -- some of your stats.
Thank you. Do you have any other things on there
I did really well?
All nice things. Don't worry.
Tell us again. Remind us which charity
you're gonna be playing for here in the finals.
I'm playing for the Association of Women in Sports Media.
It's a very, very small charity
that this money would change the game for.
Basically, they help bring more women into sports media,
and they also help build a sense of community
among the women who are currently in sports media.
It's very important in an industry that's 80% male,
and it's just something that's very important to me.
Well done. Congratulations, and good luck in the finals.
Lisa Ann Walter, an actor and stand-up comedian
originally from Washington, D.C.
You are the only one of our three finalists
who has yet to miss a Final Jeopardy! in this tournament.
Really? You were correct
in your quarterfinal and in your semifinal game.
Oh, good. How are you feeling?
Well, that makes me feel a little bit better now.
Yeah. We're doing little affirmations
for each of you. Yes, thank you. I appreciate that.
Now, how do you feel going into the finals?
Terrified, Ken. Terrified?
Um, not -- I mean, listen, we're here to have a great time.
We're all here to win money for charity.
But I'm an intensely competitive person,
and I feel like I'm playing for family pride.
And I felt like I did my trivia-queen mother so proud
in the last two games that I don't want to blow it tonight.
So if you guys could just lay down.
Do it for -- Do it for Nana.
Tell us about your charity.
Um, I am playing for the Entertainment Community Fund.
It is a wonderful group that has given out --
Just during the pandemic, they gave out $30 million
to people in the entire entertainment business.
Not just performers but people in crew, the IATSE, the WGA.
And they help people out during difficult times,
which we've had a lot of over the last few years.
So this money would mean an awful lot to them.
It would enable them to take care of every senior
that they've got,
that they're covering for over a year.
Wow. Yeah.
Another great cause. Yeah.
Good luck to you as well.
Mo Rocca, our third finalist, journalist and podcast host,
originally from Bethesda, Maryland.
Now, of all our finalists, you were the one
with the highest number of correct responses
in one game.
39 clues responded to correctly in your quarterfinal.
I'm happy to know that. That's very impressive.
Yeah. I mean, I, um, you know,
I prepared by -- by sleeping, making sure I was rested.
So, um, after the semifinal, I took to my bed right away,
and I, um -- and I woke up about an hour ago.
[ Laughter ]
It's like an "Alien" movie. We just pulled you out
of suspended animation to play "Jeopardy!"
Exactly. And after you win,
we're gonna put you back in. Exac-- Right.
Mo, tell us about your charity.
I'm playing for the Inner-City Scholarship Fund
of New York City.
Uh, it helps 9,000 kids
from economically disadvantaged families
of all different faith backgrounds,
pay the tuition to attend
the inner-city Catholic schools of New York City,
which, for over a century, have done quietly heroic work,
especially in immigrant communities,
helping lift kids and their families out of poverty
and enjoy a better life.
Another very worthy charity.
[ Applause ]
Well, all three of you are gonna win
a nice chunk of change for your charity.
Let's get back into the game and get closer to finding out
who's gonna win that million.
Mo, you have command of the board.
Uh, College-Level History Courses for $500.
Mo. Who's Adam Smith?
That is Adam Smith. Okay.

and you're tied with Mo for the lead.
Let's do $400, please, Ken.
Just $400 at stake in Advanced Cinematography.
Your clue.
Oh, God.
Lisa Ann. I...
Rosebud. What is Rosebud?
I know that's not the movie.
That's the right movie, but not the right title.
"Citizen Kane," the name of the movie. Gosh darn it!
But luckily, you only wagered $400.
That was the right move.
Here's the final clue of the round.
That's what I call range.
Rodrigo Prieto was behind the lens
for Greta Gerwig's "Barbie"
and this 2023 Martin Scorsese drama.
Katie.
What is "Killers of the Flower Moon"?
Yes, that is correct.
Apparently, none of you had the four hours
to see "Killers of the Flower Moon."
-Yes. -No.
Katie gets it right.
And look at these scores bunched up tightly
as we end our first round.
Double Jeopardy! is coming up next.
It begins in just a moment. Stay with us.
"Citizen Kane"! Oh, my God!
We are back. It's Double Jeopardy!
All three players are very close,
but, Katie, you'll be selecting first from these categories.
First up...
Mo: Oh, great.
Lisa Ann: That's a great category!
Katie: Yes!
Ken: Followed by -- Oh, this is a first.
Lisa Ann: Very nice.
Ken: We'll find out what that means.
Oh, dear.
Ken: Katie, you begin the Double Jeopardy! round for us.
Well, we have to start with Kinda Rhymes With Katie.
Lisa Ann: You have to.
Let's do it for $800, please, Ken.
Mo.
Who is Warren Beatty? Yes.
Ha. Um...
Uh, Mo Rocca Drinking Vodka With Chewbacca,

I'm sorry. No. Ahh!
Lisa Ann.
Who is Lisa?
It is Lisa. Yes.
Good. Very good.
[ Applause ]

You had a bit of an advantage there, but well done.
Okay.
Uh, well, Lisa, Ann Or Walter? for $800.
Lisa Ann.

Yeah. Walter Payton.
Uh, Lisa, Ann Or Walter? $1,000, please.

Uh, let's do Kinda Rhymes With Katie for $600.
Katie.
Who is Lady? Yes.
Kinda Rhymes With Katie for $1,000.
Answer there...
is one of the Daily Doubles in the round.
And it's a video clue. Lisa Ann: There you go.
Now, you're kind of on home turf here, Katie,
assuming that you would know rhymes of your own name
perhaps better than the other two. Perhaps.
How much would you like to wager here?
Let's wager $2,000. Alright.
That would put you in second place if you're correct.
Kinda Rhymes With Katie.
It's what you are if you reside
in the small emirate
nestled between Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
What is Kuwaiti?
You would be Kuwaiti. Yes.
And you're in second place.
[ Applause ]
Mm. Very exciting.
Uh, okay.
Let's do Kinda Rhymes With Katie for $400.
Katie. What is shady?
That's pretty shady. Yeah.
Uh, Kinda Rhymes With Katie for $200.

"I get a lot of cracks about my hair,
mostly from men who don't have any."
Lisa Ann.
Who is Ann? Yes.
Uh, Mo Rocca Drinking Vodka With Chewbacca.
I think I should get a prize just for that.
Um, $1,000, please. Alright.
If Mo Rocca blurted "boomshakalaka"
during "Ninotchka," he'd be reacting excitedly
to a 1939 movie starring this Swedish film legend.
Lisa Ann.
Who is Greta Garbo? Yes, it is.
Mo Rocca Drinking Vodka with Chewbacca, $200.
Lisa Ann. What is Russia?
No. What?!

but once again, this game could hardly be closer.
We'll be back with more "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
in just a moment.
Right up top.
We're gonna chat one more time with our finalists.
Katie Nolan, I understand recently
you got some praise online
from some great "Jeopardy!" players.
Yeah, when I was here, I talked about Sam Buttrey
and how much we love him in our household.
But another champion that we love, Andrew He,
actually tweeted during my quarterfinal episode
that he had come to a taping of my podcast
many years before that,
which was very cool to find out and that he was rooting for me.
So I just want to say we also love you, Andrew He.
In our house, we say "he is him."
That's, like, our catchphrase that you can have for free
if you want that. Lisa Ann: Wow.
And so, yeah, it was very cool to see that and to see
that we had run into each other and I never even knew.
Have you already trademarked it
and you've got a truck full of t-shirts somewhere?
Mm-hmm. Yeah, he has to buy the URL from me.
I'm squatting on it. That is smart.
Lisa Ann Walter. Lisa Ann: Sir.
Uh, you know, you've been in show business for,
you know, you've had such great success.
Ever. Forever. I'm not gonna say that.
But so many successful movies and TV shows.
Yeah. And yet now you now
find yourself being recognized for your "Jeopardy!" prowess.
Unbelievable. I, you know --
I'm used to people stopping me on the street with,
"Oh, me and my kids love 'The Parent Trap'"
or they watch the, you know, "Abbott Elementary."
And so this lady stopped me as I was leaving a store,
and she did the gasp, the "I recognize you,"
the [gasps]
I'm sure you get that all the time.
And so I sort of passed her and was looking back.
And as I got about three steps into the parking lot,
she went, "'Jeopardy!'"
Mo: That's great.
I was -- I was so happy.
I was like, "Yeah, yeah, 'Jeopardy!'"
And if she's watching now,
do you want to tell them where you'll be?
You're a touring stand-up comic, right?
Yeah, I'm doing stand-up.
We had some time after we wrapped,
and I've been back on the road and having a great time,
and I will be coming up in the next,
I think, couple of months at the Improv in Pittsburgh.
So come out and see me.
Let's -- Let's sell that sucker out.
I only have, like, three or four Ken Jennings jokes.
[ Laughs ] "Jeopardy!" fans are about to discover your stand-up.
I'm sure they'll be delighted. Well...
just remember the Georgia O'Keeffe joke.
[ Laughter ]
Mo Rocca, you have a podcast.
Tell us about "Mobituaries."
Yes, I have a podcast called "Mobituaries."
We just completed our fourth season,
and it's my way of paying tribute to the people
and things that I don't think
got the proper send-off the first time around.
And, uh, everything from, you know,
the great Native American athlete Jim Thorpe,
jazz pop queen Peggy Lee to the station wagon
or the Mid-Atlantic accent, so-called Mid-Atlantic accent.
Dialect coaches are very sensitive about it,
but it's the way everybody talked in old movies. Right?
[ Mid-Atlantic accent ] Ken, you're a marvelous host.
[ Normal voice ] Dropping the R's,
elongated vowels, just went away.
So these are underappreciated subjects
that are finally getting their due. I love that.
Let's get back into the round, shall we?
Lisa Ann, you have both the lead and control of the board.
So it's your selection. Look at me.
Well, let's do Peak TV for $800, please, Ken.

Well, I'm going to --
I'm gonna bet $2,000.

Los del Río gave us the Macarena.
That's what I thought, but that's not a line dance.
That's not a line dance. Judges!
You see a line of people doing it. That's not line dance --
If you three did the Macarena right now,
