Today’s Celebrity Jeopardy! contestants:
Katie Nolan, a sports comedy host originally from Framingham, Massachusetts, playing for the Association for Women in Sports Media |
Lisa Ann Walter, an actor & stand-up comedian originally from Washington, D.C., playing for the Entertainment Community Fund |
Mo Rocca, a journalist & podcast host originally from Bethesda, Maryland, playing for the Inner-City Scholarship Fund |
Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:
After starting with 27 celebrities at the beginning of the season, we’re now down to three: Mo Rocca (CBS Sunday Morning), Lisa Ann Walter (Abbott Elementary), and sports commentator Katie Nolan. One of them will walk away with $1,000,000 for their charity, while second place will earn $250,000 for their charity and third place $100,000 for their charity.
Looking through the stats of our three players tonight, I fully expect that tonight’s game will be very evenly matched; I can’t see any one of our players running away with it. The final outcome might come down to whoever does the best on the Daily Doubles overall!
Another reminder that I have started a Sunday mailbag column where I answer fan & viewer questions regarding the show. If you have a question, feel free to send it to mailbag@thejeopardyfan.com!
