Last time on "Jeopardy! Masters"...
Classical, 800.
The answer there is the other Daily Double.
19,000. Wow.
- Who is Sibelius? - That is correct.
38,000 points and the lead.
James Holzhauer earns three more match points
as today's Jeopardy! winner. Congratulations.
I have to say, James,
this experience has been the fulfillment of a years long nightmare.
Elementary, 2,000.
Answer there, we finally find the first Daily Double in the round.
What is...
- seaborgium? - Wow, out of nowhere. That is correct.
You double your money.
You came into Double Jeopardy with -400 points
and left the round with almost 20,000.
That's gotta be one of the most impressive come backs,
but what matters now is, did you think this was Balmoral Castle?
They did. What was the wager? Is it enough?
10,601.
You have won your second "Jeopardy! Masters" game.
James and Mattea have six points each.
James is in first place on the strength
of his number of correct responses.
But look there, Andrew is not far behind them.
Six Jeopardy! masters are battling it out
in an elite competition...
James Holzhauer.
Amy Schneider.
Matt Amodio.
Mattea Roach.
Andrew He.
Sam Buttrey.
Ten episodes, 20 games, one champion.
This is "Jeopardy! Masters."
Here is our first group of "Jeopardy!" champions.
A writer from Oakland, California,
Amy Schneider,
an associate professor at the Naval Postgraduate School
from Pacific Grove, California, Sam Buttrey,
and a software developer from San Francisco, California,

And now, here is the host of "Jeopardy! Masters,"
Ken Jennings.
Thank you, Johnny Gilbert.
Welcome back to "Jeopardy! Masters," everyone.
We are now three episodes in, and it's a tight race
at the top of the Masters' leaderboard,
with James Holzhauer, Mattea Roach,
and Andrew He all within
one match point of each other.
We'll see James and Mattea again,
our winners from the last episode, in our second game tonight.
But first, three winning match points
are up for grabs as Andrew on drums,
Sam on keyboards, and
Amy Schneider on air guitar face off in our first game.
It's a Tournament of Champions rematch.
Good luck, masters.
Let's get to work in the Jeopardy round.
Here are your categories.
First up, some Revolt-ing History,
but Hang in There,
then Present Company Accepted.
You'll have to name the show Johnny is trying out for.

Here he is.

That pulls you just ahead of Amy.
You have 4,800 points. Andrew's in the lead.
Everybody's off to a good start, and Double Jeopardy is up next.
Come right back. "Jeopardy! Masters" continues.
Now, Amy, we must have spoken on "Jeopardy!,"
we're getting close to 50 times now, maybe upwards of 50,
and you've talked about people who have inspired you,
I think, your teachers, your wife.
but you've never mentioned your cousin. Tell us about him.
Yeah. No, that was actually my, uh--my wager
in Final Jeopardy the other day was a tribute to him.
You know, I was a very cautious, shy kid,
and he was always pushing me to, like, try new things.
He would, like, just force books into my hand,
you know, forced me to listen to different bands,
just always getting me out there.
And he, you know, sadly, he suddenly passed away
over a decade ago, but
I'm glad I was able to bring him into the show.
Maybe you wouldn't be here without him.
- Yeah. - That's fantastic. Thank you.
Sam Buttrey of Pacific Grove, California.
We've heard a lot about your exploits, Sam.
You seem to have lived a colorful life
or at least made one up for us, so thank you.
But I don't think we've ever heard about your rugby life.
Tell us about your rugby youth.
True that, K-Dog. I was the captain of my college rugby team.
And, uh, on the day I was elected,
somebody--it may have been beer--decided it would have been a
hilarious idea to run around campus naked, as one does.
And when we got to the edge of town,
it seemed like just another little step
to go into the fancy, expensive French restaurant there
off-campus, and I will say,
I don't remember all that much of college,
but that one memory is very vivid,
and I would like to emphasize that no charges
were filed.
Now we made a very small number of our viewers
very happy in a recent show when
James Holzhauer showed off his feet.
Do you plan on showing any skin on "Jeopardy!"?
I have my own YouTube channel for that, Ken.
Andrew He is a software developer from San Francisco,
and, you know, like many of our players, makes
friends with the other contestants,
especially during the Tournament of Champions.
But you got exposed to some new snacks, am I right?
Yeah, if I may, Ken Jen, I would like
to share an unofficial
"Jeopardy! Masters" snack courtesy of
- TOC semifinalist Eric Ahasic. - Okay.
- It's called Minnesota sushi. - Ugh.
And what you do is you take a kosher dill pickle,
you smear some dill-flavored cream cheese on it,
you wrap it in a piece of ham, and you cut it up--
you slice it up like-- just like sushi.
Very easy to make. Very, very polarizing.
All right, it's time for Double Jeopardy now.
Masters, you can pick your signaling devices back up.
You're all off and running.
Let's see what categories await you in this round.
First up, we have some Funny Ladies,
then Medieval Literature,
Isle Be "C"ing You. Each response will begin with the letter C.
Then Invertebrates,
Christian-ity, and finally...
Now before we begin the round,
let's show the folks at home where the two Daily Doubles
are hidden in this round,
so we can agonize as the masters come
so close to them multiple times.
Amy, you start off for us.
Isle Be "C"ing You, 800.
- Andrew. - What is Capri?
- Yes. - Invertebrates, 1,200.
- Amy. - What's a jellyfish?
- That's right. - Isle Be "C"ing You, 1,200.
- Amy. - What's Curacao?
- Yeah. - Isle, 1,600.
That's Cozumel. Back to you, Amy.
Isle, 2,000.
That is one of the two Daily Doubles in the round.
We've seen a lot of big wagers in this tournament, Amy.
You could take the lead right here if you make one.
Uh, yeah. True Daily Double.
All right.
The audience likes it. Here's your clue.
What is Corregidor?
Corregidor is the island, yes. You're in the lead.
Uh! Invertebrate, 1,600.
- Andrew. - What is a scorpion?
Yeah, scorpions glow.
Medieval, 1,200.
Created circa 800 and also called the "Book of Columba,"
this illuminated manuscript illustrates the gospels in Latin.

- Andrew. - Who is Constantine?
That's right.
Medieval, 2,000.
- Andrew. - Who is Perceval?
That's correct, for 2,000.
Medieval, 800.
And you have found the other Daily Double.
You just barely retook the lead on that last clue, Andrew.
What do you wanna wager?
Uh! I'll bet everything.
You'll have 30,800 points if you're correct.
Here's your clue.
Who is Marco Polo?
That's right. You're in the lead.
Mnemonic, 1,600.
Andrew.
What is domain?
Domain comes before kingdom and phylum now, yes.
Mnemonic, 2,000.
- Amy. - What is the face,
- arms, and speech? - That's correct.
Mnemonic, 1,200.
- Sam. - Who were the wives of King Henry VIII? - Yes.
Let's do Mnemonic, 800, please.
- Andrew. - What are the colors of the rainbow? - Yeah.
Invertebrates, 2,000.
It's the knobbed whelk.
That's a toughie. Back to you, Andrew.
Funny Ladies, 1,200.
According to the creators of "Hacks,"
this funny lady was one of the inspirations
for Jean Smart's character.
- Amy. - Who is Joan Rivers?
- That's right. - Christian-ity, 2,000.
- Andrew. - Who is Doppler?
Christian Doppler, yes.
Christian-ity, 1,600.
My niece and nephew are yelling at the TV at home.
"Yo Gabba Gabba!" is the show.
Back to you, Andrew.
Christian-ity, 1,200.
This fashion designer studied under Vivienne Westwood
and Alexander McQueen before launching his own collection.
- Andrew. - Who is Louboutin?
Nope.
- Sam or Amy? Amy. - Who is Soriato?
No.
Sam just chuckles.
You were so close, Amy. Christian Siriano.
Back to you, Andrew.
Funny Ladies, 1,600.
She first gained notice for her "Awkward Black Girl" web series,
some of it funded by a Kickstarter campaign.
- Amy. - Who is Issa Rae?
- Yes, it is. - Funny Ladies, 2,000.
This comedian and podcaster has been called
"one of the true masters of deadpan."
- Amy. - Who is, um, uh...
That's time. Andrew.
- Who is Notaro? - Tig Notaro, yes.
Funny Ladies, 800.
This "SNL" alumna recently had a brief run
as M&M spokesperson and chief of fun.

Uh, Isle Be "C"ing You, 400.
- Sam. - What is Cuba? - Right.
Medieval, 400.
Andrew.
Who is, uh, Chaucer?
That's right, and the final clue in Mnemonic Possession.
- Amy. - What are the planets?
That's correct. They had to unload Pluto from the mnemonic.
That brings you to 14,800,
second place, but Andrew pulled ahead
after that big Daily Double wager.
Here comes Final Jeopardy. Your category today will be...
Interesting. We'll be back with the clue in just a moment.
We're back, and it's time for Final Jeopardy.
New England Women is the category.
The contestants have made their wagers.
Here's the clue.
30 seconds, masters. Good luck.
Sam Buttrey came into Final Jeopardy with 8,800 points today.
What did you write down, sir?
Clara Barton. I'm afraid that's not correct.
You wagered--you wagered it all,
drops you down to zero.
Amy Schneider was in second place with 14,800.
What was her response?
Mary Baker Eddy, I assume. That's a good guess.
I'm afraid it's not correct.
You wagered 5,000 points,
dropping you down to 9,800.
Andrew He, with 37,600, probably could not be caught.
Did he come up with the correct response, though?
Didn't have any response at all.
No, she "literally emancipated a soul"
with the literal touch of her hand.
This is Anne Sullivan,
who taught Helen Keller how to sign.
But it looks like it's not gonna matter.
What was your wager, Andrew?
Didn't wager a penny.
With 37,600 points,
you are our first "Jeopardy! Masters" winner of the night.
Congratulations.
Andrew will earn three match points for his win.
By finishing second, that's another match point
for Amy Schneider.
Now coming up in the second half of our show,
we're gonna see the two winners
from our previous episode,
Mattea Roach will face off against James Holzhauer,
and behind the third podium,
the only player who has beaten James Holzhauer
in this tournament, Matt Amodio.
Stay with us. "Jeopardy! Masters" continues after this.
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 self-described game show villain
from Las Vegas, Nevada, James Holzhauer.
Thank you, Johnny.
James and Mattea came into tonight leading
this competition, and now they're going head-to-head.
Matt, you came from behind to beat James last time you played him.
Do you think you can do it again?
- Let's find out. - Let's find out.
We do that starting in the Jeopardy round,
where these six categories are in play.
First up, Authors' Pretty Decent Reviews,
then we've got a W-2 for you.
There are two Ws in each response.
Followed by World Coins.
And Growing Up X.
These are clues relating to an exhibit about Gen X
at the Illinois State Museum.
Now for those of you at home who like to be surprised
by the Daily Double noise, look away now.
I'm gonna reveal where it's located in this round.
James, get us started.
Physics Checkup, 1,000.
- Matt. - What's Hubble?
Yes.
Coins, 1,000.
The answer there is the Daily Double in the round.
On the downside, you can only wager 1,000.
On the upside, you kept it away from James and Mattea.
I don't know what world they come from,
but I will have 1,000 coins.
This is our own little crypto points currency.

Keep it in your pants, Ken.
Back to you, Matt.
Authors, 400.

Final clue.
- James. - What is Blockbuster?

That takes you to 8,200 points.
You're in the lead as we head into Double Jeopardy.
Matt Amodio will select first when we come back.
Matt Amodio, postdoctoral researcher from Cambridge,
Massachusetts, as we know.
You feel you're here on the shoulders of giants,
other "Jeopardy!" players who have inspired you.
Who would you like to shout out?
It could be anybody. They don't have to be here.
Absolutely. So I like thinking about game theory
and optimizing my play.
I'm a terrible person
to play board games with at home as a result.
But I just wanna thank James,
because while there are many luminaries who play "Jeopardy!"
in a game theoretical, optimal way,
I think James took it to a whole new level...
- He did. - So thank you, sir.
- He absolutely did. Just James?
He's pretty much the only one?
I'm not looking at anyone else.
Mattea Roach is a writer and a podcaster.
Now you come to us from Toronto, Ontario,
and as a result, unlike Matt and James,
you have to cross an international border
every time you play "Jeopardy!"
Yeah, so I think by the time this airs,
I'll have crossed customs, like,
six times for various "Jeopardy!" appearances,
which has to be approaching some kind of record,
and at U.S. customs, I think they wanna ask,
like, a certain amount of follow-up questions,
kind of regardless of what you say your reason
for entering the country is.
So many times I've been asked,
"So how did you get on the show?"
If you see any CBP officers who are here,
I told them all about the Anytime Test,
so you can blame me.
James Holzhauer, our self-described game
show villain, is from Las Vegas, Nevada.
And like every "James Bond" villain, you play cards,
is that right? What's your game?
My favorite game, not featured in "James Bond"
very often, is bridge.
Aside from squashing people's hopes on game shows,
this is my big passion in life.
And after I was on "Jeopardy!" initially four years ago,
I was lucky enough to catch the eye
of some Bridge Hall of Famers.
I'm gonna name-drop them here
for everyone at home, big bridge fans, I'm sure.
Uh, Kerri Sanborn, David Berkowitz--
not the serial killer one-- Ralph Katz,
have all been kind enough to partner me and mentor me,
and I'm at a level now where I can contend for championships, so.
Well done. All right, it's time for the Double Jeopardy round.
Twice as many points available in this round,
so this game is far from over.
Let's find out what categories we'll be dealing
with in Double Jeopardy.
We begin with World Facts,
then Masterpieces.
We have some 2-Letter Responses.
And finally...
Now there are two Daily Doubles in this round.
Let's show the viewers at home who want to know
where they are located.
Matt, you begin this round.
World Facts, 1,200.
- James. - What is Lesotho?
- Yes. - Secretary of State, 1,600.
The answer there is the first
of the two Daily Doubles in the round.
You've just got a sense for that.

I'm Great, I was Secretary of State.

Alexander Haig doubles James's money.

2-Letter Responses, 1,200.

Abraham's home, yes.
Title References, 1,600.
Well, the answer there is the other Daily Double,
so this just got very interesting, Matt.
You have less than half of James' score, but maybe not for long.
I'll put myself in jeopardy,
to reference this TV title.
Uh, 9,600.
I like the placement.
Betting it all on TV Title References. Here's your clue.
Oh.
What's, uh...
Say something.
- Jitters. - Oh, you're out of time.
Maybe you don't have Hulu. It's "Dopesick."
That show is "Dopesick."
Dropping you down to nothing, but I like the attempt.
- Select again. - Secretary of State, 200.
- James. - Who is Sherman?
- Be more specific, - James.
- James Sherman. - No, I'm sorry.

- Matt. - What's "Bridgerton"?

Uh, 2-Letter, 200.
You're just supposed to say "mu" to a koan like that.
Back to you, Matt. - 2-Letter, 1,600.
The arboreal aerialist seen here
gets this alternate name from its high-pitched cry.
- Matt. - What's screech sloth?
No.
Maybe its friends call it screech sloth,

- Ah. - A-I. Back to you, Matt.
Right, that helps.
State, 1,200.
George Shultz, big Theranos guy.

- Mattea. - What's Oregon Trail?
- Yes. - Masterpieces, 400.
- James. - What's a nautilus?
- That's right. - Facts, 400.
- Matt. - What's Damascus?
- That's right. - State, 800.
- James. - Who is Henry Clay?
Yes, and the final clue in Secretary of State.
- James. - Who is Van Buren?
That's correct.
That's a big game for you. 24,800 points as we head into Final.
Matt, you were taking a lot of risks there late,
and I know why you were doing it.
It was smart play.
But unfortunately, your -2,000 total means
you won't be here for Final.
You have locked up third place for this show.
James and Mattea fighting it out
for first and second on this Final Jeopardy category.
We'll be back with the clue in just a moment.
Fictional Places is going to be
our second Final Jeopardy category tonight.
Let's reveal the clue for our masters.
30 seconds. Good luck.
We'll begin with Mattea Roach at 5,800 points.
What fictional land did Mattea think of?
Yes, that's why the land is so small.
It's the land of the tiny people
from "Gulliver's Travels."
What was their wager? 158.
You now have 5,958 points.
James Holzhauer had a big lead. Did he know it was Lilliput?
Well, it's in the form of a question,
but it's not correct.
I would say these 30-minute interactions
we have are the perfect amount of time to know you, - James.
And I mean-- I mean every word of that.
I can't give you credit for it. Let's see what you wagered.
You're our winner tonight. 1,122, dropping you down to 23,678.
Three match points go to James Holzhauer.
For finishing in second place,
Mattea Roach earns one match point.
All right, let's update the leaderboard after tonight's game.
James Holzhauer's win puts him in first place
with nine points, Andrew's in second with eight,
followed by Mattea at seven.
Now the battle for fourth place is very important
because only four players will make it to our semifinals.
And right now Matt Amodio is ahead of Amy Schneider
on our first tiebreaker, which is games won,
even though they both have three points.
Thank you so much for joining us on "Jeopardy! Masters" tonight.
We'll see you next time.
