Last time on "Jeopardy! Masters"...
It's a long road, but it all begins right here.
By just 201 points, Andrew,
you are our very first "Masters" winner.
Amy, you'll take one match point for finishing in second place.
No points for you yet, Matt.
I would not bet against you tomorrow.
The last time we saw each other here,
James, we were both over there.
I don't think this happened.
Religion, 12.
Well, that's the other Daily Double, James.
Everything on the table again.
- What is basilica? - It is the Basilica of Zapopan.
It was a close game before the Daily Doubles happened
because they all happened to James Holzhauer.
You are the winner of this "Jeopardy! Masters" round.
Let's take a look at the leaderboard.
Andrew is actually in first place by virtue
of having more correct responses tonight than James.
But the excitement is just beginning.
Six Jeopardy Masters are battling it out
in an elite competition.
Ten episodes, 20 games, one champion.
This is "Jeopardy! Masters."
Here is our first group of "Jeopardy!" Champions.
A writer and podcaster from Toronto, Ontario, Canada,
Mattea Roach.
A writer from Oakland, California, Amy Schneider.
And an associate professor at the Naval Postgraduate School
from Pacific Grove, California, Sam Buttrey.
And now, here is the host of "Jeopardy! Masters,"
Ken Jennings.
Thank you, Johnny Gilbert.
Welcome back to "Jeopardy! Masters," everyone.
Just as a reminder, each episode
of this all-new competition will feature two games,
three players in the first game,
the other three in the second game.
At stake in each game, match points,
with the winner receiving 3, second place receiving 1,
and 0 points for third.
Several victories lie between our champions and the title,
so let's get started, shall we?
It's good to see you again Sam, Amy, and Mattea.
Let's get to work in the Jeopardy round,
where we have these categories awaiting you.
We begin with Play: the Game.
You'll give us the title of the play in each case.
Then Unusual Museums,
It's Time to Lawyer Up,
TV,
followed by 1920s Science,
and... ooh, and it's a pity James isn't with us this game...
the final category, All "In."
I-N will begin each correct response.
Now, at this point in "Jeopardy! Masters,"
we're going to reveal for the home viewers
where the Daily Double in the round is hidden.
If you don't want to know, look away now.

The Double Jeopardy round is up next.
We'll see you in a moment.
Toronto's own Mattea Roach is with us.
They're a writer and a podcaster and a beloved grandchild, I'm told.
Your grandparents are still with us?
Yeah, so my mom's parents are both still living.
And my grandfather was actually, like,
hospitalized over Christmas. He's fine, so that's all good,
but while we were visiting him in the hospital,
he was like, so are you going back to play "Jeopardy!" anytime soon?
At that point, I knew we were doing "Masters,"
but it hadn't been publicly announced.
And I was like, I can't tell this man
because the whole Cape Breton Regional Hospital's
going to hear about it before it gets announced by ABC.
So yeah, thankfully, he was able to get home
after the Christmas holidays and hopefully will be watching now.
I'm sure he is. I love the idea of Canada as just a small town
where everybody tells everybody everything.
It... it is.
It is. That's the secret.
I'm glad you gave me some cover,
or I was going to get mail from Canada.
Amy Schneider from Oakland, California,
we're crediting you as a writer now on "Jeopardy! Masters."
What are you writing?
I'm writing, basically, a memoir about, you know,
my life and about sort of curiosity and learning.
And it's a lot of fun, and I'm excited to tell
more of my story than I can tell in these 15-second,
you know, chunks on "Jeopardy!"
And I was talking to my brother about it
and kind of telling him that, and he was like, yeah,
I'm excited for that too.
You know, I watch you in all these interviews,
and you're so sweet, and you're so nice.
And I'm like, nobody knows what a snarky jerk she is.
He did not say "jerk" either, by the way, but yeah.
Well, it sounds like you got a title for your book.
I don't want to tell you what to do, but that's pretty good.
Sam Buttrey from Pacific Grove, California,
an associate professor, we know, at the Naval Postgraduate School,
and a pretty good nautical story here.
You went to your own son's wedding,
- but at great cost, is that right? - That's right, KJ.
I have a friend who operates a company
that will take you out to the wreck of the "Titanic."
- Wow. - So you go out in a boat,
and then you go down in a submersible craft
and tour the wreckage.
It sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,
but through a miracle of bad timing,
my son John and daughter-in-law Caitlin
were getting married that weekend.
I was very happy to go there. It was a beautiful wedding.
And not a shred of regret in my life.
There's a joke here somewhere about a wedding and undersea wreckage,
but it sounds like it was a wonderful event.
- It really was. - SB, if I may.
You may.
Well, Mattea, you're going to be selecting first
in the Double Jeopardy round.
Pick up your signaling devices.
We're ready for that now.
Let's see what categories we have for our players.
We begin with The Map of Europe.
Then we have Editors,
Colonial America, Blank of the Blank,
Biblical Places,
and finally...
I'm songwriter Diane Warren with clues about some
of the more than 30 Billboard Top 10 hits that I wrote.
And as you'll recall, audience and Jeopardy Masters,
we're showing the home viewers where the Daily Doubles are.
Let's take a look right now.
There we go. Mattea, start us off.
Map of Europe, 1,600.
- Mattea. - What's Cork?
- Yes. - Map of Europe, 1,200.
The answer there is one of the two Daily Doubles.

So uncharacteristic for me, all in.
Wow, doing it all. So you'll have 8,800 points
if you're correct on the Map of Europe.

played a news director who believed in Michelle Pfeiffer.
It's been a minute.
"Up Close and Personal," the name of that movie.
- Amy. - Diane Warren, 1,600.
Back to Diane.
In a strange twist, both LeAnn Rimes
and Trisha Yearwood were up for Grammys
for my song from "Con Air" that asks this title question.
- Amy. - What is "How Do I Live?"
- Yes. - Okay.
You had to wait for her to play a bit of it.
- Diane Warren, 1,200. - Here's Ms. Warren again.
I actually had to get on my knees
and beg Cher to record this 1989 hit,
which worked out pretty nicely for both of us.
- Mattea. - What's "If I Could Turn Back Time"?
- That's the song. - Diane Warren, 800.
Here's Diane.
My song, "Blame it on the Rain,"
was the last number one hit for this Euro-pop duo
before it was revealed that they didn't actually
do their own singing.
"Blame it on the rain"
I didn't sing it either.
- Mattea. - Who's Milli Vanilli?
- Correct. - Diane Warren, 400.
Finishing the category.

Here it is.
- Sam. - What is the Sea of Galilee?
That is correct. With 17,600 points,
you pull out a late lead over Mattea and Amy.
Final Jeopardy is up next.
In a close game like this, the category is important.
Today it will be...
21st Century Authors.
While they make their wagers, we're going to take a quick break.
And then we'll come back with the clue.
Time to find out if our three Masters have been
keeping up with their reading.
21st Century Authors is the category,
and here's the clue.
30 seconds. Good luck.
We'll begin with Amy Schneider in the middle,
11,200 points coming into Final.
And her response was...
"Who is Larsson?"
Yes, Stieg Larsson.
That's how "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" begins.
So you're going to be adding to that 11,200 too.
6,500 points takes you to 17,700.
For the moment, you're in the lead over Sam and Mattea.
Mattea was in second place.
Their Final Jeopardy response.
Did they know it was Stieg Larsson?
"Who is Stieg Larsson?" is correct.
The wager was 6,001 points.
Now you're in the lead, Mattea, with 22,401.
It's going to come down to Sam Buttrey's response.
Did he know about "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"?
"Who is Johansson Stiegler?"
That is not correct.
He wagered 15,201, dropping him down to 2,399.
With a come-from-behind win,
Mattea Roach, you are our first
"Jeopardy! Masters" winner tonight.
You're on the board now with 3 match points.
And Amy, you'll earn 1 match point
for your second place finish.
But there's lots more "Jeopardy! Masters"
excitement to come.
James, Andrew, and Matt are joining us

We'll come back and chat with our players
and then get into that round after this.
Matt Amodio is back with us,
a postdoctoral researcher from Cambridge, Massachusetts,
whose girlfriend has been helping you prepare
for "Jeopardy! Masters," right?
Yes. So as a birthday gift,
she got me a scratch-off movie poster with some
of the greatest movies of all time from all generations.
I've been seeing things that I otherwise wouldn't have seen.
And she also helped me get a Taylor Swift question right,
and of course the complimentary free tour tickets
that I'm sure are coming as a result.
A birthday surprise, she just hasn't told you yet.
Well, I hope so for your sake.
James Holzhauer, a self-described
game show villain from Las Vegas, Nevada, is with us.
For a game show villain, you sure do a lot of good work, James.
Tell us about the project you and your wife are engaged in.
Yeah, so I have to give most of the credit to Melissa here,
but she and I are both very involved with Project 150,
an organization in Las Vegas
that gives everything that unhoused teenagers need
to survive high school. They give them clothing, food.
If you just ask for something,
I'm sure they'll get it for you... scholarship money.
So we're really hoping to win some money
for them here on this stage.
Fantastic, for unhoused teens.
Your villain cred is slipping, James.
Eh, it'll be back. Don't worry.
Andrew He is a software developer from San Francisco.
He has an intimidation story about playing
against James Holzhauer, is that right?
Yeah. There's so many reasons to be excited about coming to "Masters,"
but one of them was,
I'd heard a really interesting rumor about the
game show villain over here,
and I thought it would be a great opportunity
to see if I could confirm or debunk that for myself.
What's the rumor? Tell us.
The rumor is that, as a power move,
in the green room backstage,
the guy over here takes off his shoes and socks
- to intimidate. - I think he's doing it right now.
Yeah, there we go.
On a scale of one to ten, Andrew,
how intimidated are you right now?
- Not very, actually. - Oh.
Well, he'll work on it. He'll work on it.
I think it's pretty good. I've never seen that move
on the Alex Trebek stage.
And I don't think Alex would mind that at all.
Can we play real quick?
James can't pick up his buzzer, Andrew.
Let's reveal the categories we have for you three

Western Hemisphere History.
Back with the clue in just a moment.
Great game. Great game, you guys.

exactly as we head into Final Jeopardy.
Western Hemisphere History is the category.
This is the clue.
30 seconds. Good luck.
We'll begin with Andrew He, 9,600 points.
Pretty respectable against the show
they were putting on, Andrew.
What was your response?
The country you wrote down, not a country at all.
"What is baby, we got a game goin'."
I wish I could give you credit for that.
That is certainly true.
My guess is you did not make the biggest bet
in the world if that was your guess.
Yes, zero points. You still have 9,600.
We'll come to James Holzhauer second, with 28,400.
Let's see what he wrote down.
He crossed out Haiti and wrote down Nicaragua.
James, Haiti was right.
We were talking about Jean Valbrun Guillaume Sam.
So you're going to lose...
all of it, dropping you down to zero. Wow.
Matt Amodio also had $28,400.
Did he get Haiti?
He also put Nicaragua.
Did he also wager everything?
1,000 points,
dropping you down to 27,400 points.
And Matt scores his first win in "Jeopardy! Masters,"
earning 3 match points.
Andrew He will receive 1 point for his second place finish.
Let's see how today's games have moved the leaderboard.
Look at that. All six of our Masters are on the board.
Andrew's in the lead with 4 match points,
with James, Mattea, and Matt not far behind,
with one win each.
Wow. If we have any more games like that,
I don't know if my heart is going to hold out.
