Last time on "Jeopardy! Masters..."
With a come-from-behind win, Mattea Roach, you are our first

The rumor is that as a power move,
the guy over here takes off his shoes and socks.
- I think he's doing it right now. - Yeah, there we go.
- Matt. - What's a riot?
- You needed that. - Yes.
$28,400 exactly.
You are in a tie for the lead.
We'll come to James Holzhauer second.
Let's see what he wrote down.
He crossed out Haiti.
James, Haiti was right.
Matt Amodio also had $28,400.
Did he get Haiti?
He also put Nicaragua.
Did he also wager everything?
1,000 points.
And Matt scores his first win in "Jeopardy! Masters,"
earning 3 match points.
Andrew's in the lead with James, Mattea,

Nevada, James Holzhauer.
And now, here he is the host of "Jeopardy! Masters,"

Thank you, Johnny Gilbert. Thanks, everyone.
Welcome back to "Jeopardy! Masters."
Boy, our first two episodes have
certainly not disappointed when it comes to excitement.
We've had come-from-behind wins.
We've had tied scores going into Final Jeopardy.
We've had tens of thousands of points
added to our masters' scores via all-in true Daily Doubles.
It's been great "Jeopardy!"
Waiting backstage, our winners from the last show--
Mattea Roach and Matt Amodio, as well as Andrew He.
Right now, for the first time ever, James, Amy, and Sam
are gonna play each other.
Good luck to all three of you.
Let's go to work in the Jeopardy round
with these categories.
We begin with Wives of the Not Yet Presidents.
Then we have Eponymous Television, A Shakespeare Play
in a Few Words,
ooh, you're Dealing with the Government,
then Chat G-P-T.
All responses will begin with the letter G
and then contain a P and a T in that order.
And finally--
I'm Dominique Ansel.
Since I was a kid in France,
I've loved the precision of pastry.
And I'll bring you clues about some of the classics
from my New York City bakery.
Now, if you at home don't want to know
where the Daily Double is in this round,
avert your eyes at all costs.
There we go. James, you select first.

with a portmanteau name.
- James. - What's a cronut?
Yes, today is actually the exact tenth birthday of the cronut.
- Cool. - 400, Pastry.
Scathing review.
It's not actually 1,000, despite the name,
but usually 3 layers of puff pastry
that are spread with cream and jam to make this dessert.
- James. - What is "mille-feel?"
Yeah, mille-feuille. We'll take it.
Ah, French.

and now you have 10,600 points.
Amy will select first inthe Double Jeopardy round when we return.
"Jeopardy! Masters" continues after the break.
We're back, and we're going to get to know our masters a little bit.
Sam Buttrey from Pacific Grove, California.
As we know, an associate professor at the Naval
Postgraduate School.
Now, one of the foundational sports
memories of my young life was the 1986 World Series.
Did you, Sam, see that event?
I did.My friends and I had season tickets to the Mets that year.
And so we bought-- we were allowed to buy tickets to all
of the World Series games.
But with the Mets down 3 to 2 and the sixth game coming,
we thought, "Well, we don't want to be there if they lose,"
so we sold our tickets to the sixth game, arguably the most
famous baseball game in history that memorably
ended with a ground ball through the legs of poor Bill Buckner.
I had tickets to that game, Ken, I swear,
but I didn't use them.
Did you listen on the radio at least?
We did. And we went to the seventh game.
There we go. That was the one to be at, I think.
Amy Schneider is a writer from Oakland
and now serving on the board of a local nonprofit
in Oakland, right? Tell me about it.
Yeah, that's right. So, you know,
since I've become a bit of a public figure,
I've been really wanting to figure out
how to get involved in more, like, nonprofits and advocacy.
And I was, you know, honored to be invited
to join the Board of Equality California that works
to keep California the safe place for LGBTQ people that it is.
And so that's been really rewarding and really educational.
And it is also--
an event will pop up on my calendar saying "board meeting."
And it's just like, "Oh, wow, that's me.
- I'm on the board." - "That's my new life."
- It's exciting, yeah. - "I go to board meetings now." - Yeah.
Well done. James Holzhauer, our self-described game show
villain from Las Vegas, Nevada,
and a recent "Jeopardy!" honoree. Tell us about that.
I won the Alex Trebek Person of the Year Award,
an award won by such luminaries as James Holzhauer
and no one else, because they just brought
this honor ceremony into existence last year.
You're the first and only winner.
And that award is given for--
It's designed-- I mean, probably someone here should explain it.
But I think it was to service in the community, you know,
beyond the show, and, you know, just being a good person,
which I don't know what they were thinking.
James, I keep describing you as a villain,
and you keep telling us all these nice things
- you're doing. - You know, I'm pretty sure that card
involves other things if you want to mix
it up a little bit, you know?
I'll try to find something a little more villainous next time.
But for now, we're headed into the Double Jeopardy round.
Pick up your signaling devices, and we'll find out
what categories await you.
We start off with You Bug Me.
Not you, James.
Then Classical Music Classics,
ooh, some Tough Movie Stuff,
Don't Confuse the Two,
National Founders,
and Good Name for a Breakfast Cereal?
There are two Daily Doubles in this round, of course.
If you don't want to know where they are,
look down at your lap, and twiddle your thumbs right now.
Amy, you're in third place; you select first.
Don't Confuse the Two, 1,200.

So often confused, yes.

Let's do You Bug Me, 2,000.
- Sam. - What is waggle?
Correct for 2,000.
The answer there is the first of the two
Daily Doubles in the round.
Sam, you can move into the lead over James Holzhauer
if you're correct and wager big enough.
Let's do 7,000, please.
All right, you'll be tied for the lead if correct.
In You Bug Me.
- What is formic acid? - That's right. You're tied for the lead.
Very good.
You Bug Me, 12.
- Amy. - What is milkweed? - Yes.
Don't Confuse the Two, 16.
- Sam. - What is corundum and conundrum.
Correct.
Breakfast Cereal, 2,000, please.

That's right. Good job, 2,000.
Cereal, 16.
??
- Sam. - What is grackle?
- Yes, they are. - Breakfast Cereal, 1,200.
- Amy. - What are lucky stars?
- Right. - Cereal, 8.
James.
- What is haute cuisine? - Yeah, "oat" cuisine, I think.
No, no more French. No more French.
Classical, 8.
Yeah, so there is the other Daily Double.
You moved away from cereals just in time, James.
- What will it be? - 19,000.
Wow.
All 19,000 at risk.
Let's see if James knows his Classical Music Classics.
- Who is Sebelius? - That is correct.
38,000 points and the lead.
His name was not French, so it was excellent.
Movie Stuff, 2,000.
- Sam. - Who is Steve McQueen?
- No. - Oh.
- James. - Who is Charles Bronson?
- He's in both, yes. - Movie, 16.

- Sam. - Who's Dolemite?
- Dolemite is his name, yes.
Uh! Movies, 800.

- Yes. - Movie, 4.
- James. - What's "Red Dawn"?
- Correct again. - Classical, 4.
- James. - What's the Grand Canyon?

- You got it. - National Founders, 4.

- That's right. - Bring it!
Final clue in Breakfast Cereals.
- Amy. - What are crunches?
Crunches are correct, taking you to 8,000.
That was a very different game before James found
that second Daily Double.
But again, second place matters in "Jeopardy! Masters."
Let's see what category you're dealing with in Final today.
The First Millennium.
Cast your minds all the way back.
That's old even for you, Sam.
We'll be back with the clue in just a moment.
We're going all the way back to the First Millennium
for Final Jeopardy today.
The wagers are in, and here is the clue.
30 seconds, masters. Good luck.
We'll begin with Amy Schneider in third place
with 8,000 points.
Her response, what is Rome?
That's correct.
By the 4th century, the center of power had moved east.
Diocletian was governing from what's today Turkey.
So you're gonna add to your 8,000 1,121 points.
You have 9,121.
Sam Buttrey was in second place with 2,600.
Did he think of Rome?
Ah, he went further east to Constantinople.
That will cost him not a point.
You stand pat with 20,600 points, sir.
James Holzhauer had 44,800 after finding
the Sebelius Daily Double.
Do he know it was Rome?
Oh, he went with Constantinople, as well, by another name.
He wagered 119 dropping him down to 44,681.
But today that's plenty.
He earns 3 more match points as today's "Jeopardy!" winner.
Congratulations.
Sam Buttrey earns a match point as well with his
second second-place finish.
We'll be back after the break with the second half
of "Jeopardy! Masters" tonight--
Andrew He, Mattea Roach, Matt Amodio.
You won't want to miss it.
They'll be here in a moment. Stay tuned.
Welcome back to "Jeopardy! Masters."
Here are our next three champions.
A postdoctoral researcher from Cambridge,
Massachusetts, Matt Amodio.
A writer and podcaster from Toronto,
Ontario, Canada, Mattea Roach.
And a software developer from San Francisco, California,

Now, Matt and Mattea are playing in this second game,
because they won their respective games

It's time for the Jeopardy round. Let's go to work in these categories.
We'll start off with Nolad, Son of Afral, Biblical OB/GYN.
Then we have some Car Stuff, Let's Get Vertical.
We're gonna visit some U.S. "Burg"s in quotation marks.
Then Little, and finally, Pitchers Have Big Years.
Now, let's show the home audience where

- Correct for 1,000. - Little, 8.
The answer there is the Daily Double.

You're tied for the lead with 1,000.
It will shock you to hear this, 1,000 points, please.
I thought you might. Here's your clue in Little.
I don't think this is right, but what's Jakarta?
No, I'm sorry.
They're all bantams. It's the city of Bantam in Indonesia.
Drops you down to zero, but it's super early.

We'll get Mattea on track in the Double Jeopardy round.
Come back for that in a moment.
"Jeopardy! Masters" will continue.
Matt Amodio is a post-doctoral researcher from Cambridge.
But, Matt, you're obviously a post-"Jeopardy!" champion.
Does that give you a certain amount of notoriety
around Boston? Are you a man about town?
Yeah, I had just moved to Cambridge,
and the Guardians were playing the Red Sox,
so I saw a game at Fenway.
On our way to our seats, a nice couple recognized me
and said, "Welcome to Boston.
Good luck on the upcoming TOC," at that time.
And then not 15 seconds later, another couple of Bostonians,
inebriated, who did not recognize me,
were up in my face shouting profanities
about how the Guardians were terrible,
we're gonna lose by 100 that day.
So, you know, the highs and lows of Bostonian culture
in a short span there.
You got the full spectrum of Massachusetts life.
I love it.
Mattea Roach from Toronto is a writer and a podcaster.
And not just from Toronto, but a famous and celebrated
Torontonian now, right?
Yeah, so there's a magazine "Toronto Life"
that does every year a list a list of the 50
Most Influential Torontonians.
So I got put on that list for 2022.
- Wow! - But to keep me humble,
they put me on at number 50.
So you're in the top 50 list, barely.
Barely. Simu Liu of "Celebrity Jeopardy!" fame
and other productions, I'm told, was actually number one.
But you're hanging on by a thread.
You're afraid you might slip to 51 next year.
Yeah, well, then you're just not on the list at all.
We'll see how I do. I might be able to sneak in there again.
Yeah, I think your "Jeopardy! Masters"
performance will buoy you up. I believe in you.
Andrew He from San Francisco is a software developer.
Now, you and Mattea, this is your first time playing,
I believe, since the Tournament of Champions last year,
when you eliminated them in the semifinals, right?
That's correct.
But--
But did Mattea get revenge?
I would say so.
Yeah, so this is our second game on the Alex Trebek Stage,
but it's actually the third competitive meeting between us.
And post-TOC, my fellow TOC competitor,
Brian Chang, we were lucky enough
to visit Toronto celebrity Mattea Roach,
where we found ourselves in a little
competitive game of "Mahjong."
- And who won? - And we were thoroughly,
- thoroughly dominated by-- - Well, of course.
They're the 50th most famous person in Toronto.
You don't want to--
You don't want to mess around with that.
And they have control of the board.
Let's find out what categories we'll be dealing
with in Double Jeopardy.
First up, Hit the Road, Jack.
Then we have Some Elementary Clues,
World of Words & Idioms.
From there, we go to Historic Ships, The Male Gaze.
Uh-oh. And finally, The Last Books You'll Read.
There are two Daily Doubles in this round, of course.
