Last time on "Jeopardy! Masters"...
Now, James, this is only the second time in the tournament
you did not manage to put the game away
in Double Jeopardy.
Did he know it was "Ulysses"? He did.
In the first game of our semifinals, James Holzhauer for the win.
- Mattea. - Who is Riley Keough?
- Correct. - Who is Sutton Foster?
Who is Heidegger? Who is Bosie Douglas?
Maximum Allowed, 16.
The answer there is the other Daily Double.
- What is supersaturation? - That's correct.
You have 24,000 points. You're on a tear, Mattea.
Still in the lead after that scorching Double Jeopardy round.
Did they know it was the Golden Hinde?
Oh, sorry. "What is the Hartford?"
James Holzhauer comes from behind
to take another three match points.
I've played against some greats.
But I don't think I've ever seen anyone
go on a run like Mattea did there. That was amazing.
Andrew and Mattea have one match point each.
James Holzhauer, a whopping six match points.
Six "Jeopardy!" Masters battled in an elite competition.
Now only four remain.
James Holzhauer, Matt Amodio, Mattea Roach, Andrew He.
Two episodes. Four games.
Only three will advance.
It's the semifinals of "Jeopardy! Masters."
Here are the champions in tonight's first matchup.
From Cambridge, Massachusetts, Matt Amodio.
From Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Mattea Roach.
And from Las Vegas, Nevada, James Holzhauer.
And now, here is the host of "Jeopardy! Masters,"
Ken Jennings.
Thank you, Johnny Gilbert.
And welcome, everyone, to the exciting conclusion
of our "Jeopardy! Masters" semifinals.
Only two games now stand between our champions
and the final.
And we know, after his wins in the first two semifinal matchups,
that James Holzhauer is one of those three finalists.
But which two masters will join him?
Mattea, Matt, a lot is on the line for you tonight.
Good luck to everyone not named James Holzhauer, I guess.
Here are the categories we have for you in the first round
of this first semifinal game.
First, In the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
Then we have Black History and Culture.
From H to Y... those will be the first and last letters
of each response, followed by Power Occupants.
Oh, We Have '80s Pop Culture References.
And finally, You Can't Go There.
Let's reveal where the Daily Double is hidden
for those home viewers who want to know in advance.
All right, James, you've got your record
on your lectern, 8 and 1.
Truth hurts, Ken.

We won't reveal the answer to who shot JR,
but we will be back to meet our players
and have Double Jeopardy right after this.
Matt Amodio, as an academic and a researcher,
I understand you've discovered a downside
to having a successful "Jeopardy!" run.
Yeah, so in academia, all of our research is public.
And so when you're talking with somebody,
it's common that you want to just search their name,
get their scholar page, list of their publications.
And so I've often been talking to somebody
and they search my name into Google,
and all of the top results are "Jeopardy!"
And so you see the look of confusion on their face,
like, "Is this the same person? Yeah, it is."
And then our conversations get derailed entirely.
"It's so hard to find my amazing research
because of my amazing television success."
I haven't had anybody shed a tear for me.
Mattea Roach from Toronto.
Speaking of "Jeopardy!" fame,
actually became the star of your own Instagram story
while you were on the show.
Yeah, star of my best friend's Instagram story
to an audience of, like, a couple hundred people.
But every day of my original run,
my best friend Avneet would post my little intro
waving to the camera along with the song
"Best Friend" by Doja Cat and Saweetie.
But actually, after I lost,
he then continued doing that with Danielle Maurer
who defeated me in my regular season run.
So she got to, like, win the title of "Jeopardy!" champion
and also Avneet's new best friend for a couple of days.
But it hasn't continued.
Like, by the transitive property, your friend has not...
Is not whoever the current "Jeopardy!" champion is.
I don't know, maybe one of these guys will get
the best friend treatment if this doesn't go so well for me.
Yeah, we need Doja Cat and Saweetie
to endorse a "Jeopardy!" Master.
James Holzhauer, our self-described
game show villain. We know you're a hockey fan.
What was your biggest moment of Las Vegas hockey fame?
Yeah, I got to crank the siren
to hype up the crowd at the beginning of the game.
It was a big moment for me.
And yeah, I love the city of Las Vegas,
so it was kind of nice to represent them in that way.
We don't really have a siren on set here.
Would you recommend something like that for "Jeopardy!"?
One of these, I think, usually does the trick.
See?
The people go nuts, James. We don't even need a siren.
It's time to play Double Jeopardy.
You can pick up your signaling devices.
Matt, you'll be selecting first.
Let's take a look at what categories you'll be choosing from.
We start with For Masters Only.
These are responses we have never gone for
in any iteration of "Jeopardy!" They're making their debut.
Then we have Sculptors, Mythical Geography,
some Questionable Music Choices,
followed by Plants and Trees.
Here's an old tournament favorite. Before, During, and After.
There are, of course, two Daily Doubles
on the board somewhere.
Matt, you select first.
Myth, 12.
- Matt. - What's Asgard?
- Good. - Myth, 16.
- James. - What is Avalon?
- Yes. - Myth, 8.
Answer there...
Is one of the two Daily Doubles.
You always seem to get control back just in time.
You got to go up, not down.
- What'll you wager? - 8,400, please.
Betting it all on Mythical Geography.
- What is Atlantis? - Atlantis is right.
You have 16,800 points.
Sculptors, 12.
That's biomorphic sculpture.
- James. - Sculptors, 16.
- Matt. - What's Brancusi?
- That's right. - Sculptors, 8.
- James. - Who is French?
- Well done. - Sculptors, 2.
- Mattea. - Who is Bourgeois?
- Well done. - Plants and Trees, 16.
- Matt. - What's... ginkgo?
- That's correct, ginkgo biloba. - Trees, 12.
Well, the answer there is the Daily Double.
What will you wager, Matt?
- 6,000, please. - Here's your clue.
What's red oak?
Oh, I'm sorry. It's red maple.
Acer is the maples.
Drops you down to zero. Select again.
Trees, 2.
"No soil needed for air plants, "like the tillandsia seen here,
"which are also called this type,
from Greek for 'upon' and 'plant.'"
- Matt. - What's epiphyte?
- Yes. - Myth, 2.
- Matt. - What's Prester John?
You got it.
Masters, 2.
- James. - What is toxoplasmosis?
- You're correct. - Thanks, Melissa.
Masters, 16.
Matt.
What's Portis?
- Charles Portis. Very good. - Masters, 12.
- James. - What is omakase?
- That's right. - Masters, 8.
- Mattea. - What's Pondicherry?
- Yes. - Masters, 4.
- James. - What is modicum?
No, I'm sorry. Mattea or Matt?
- Mattea. - What's smattering?
Smattering is right. I'm sorry, James.
Modicum has been a "Jeopardy!" response in the past.
- Mattea. - Before, During, and After, 4.
Looks like two of you saw it a fraction of a second too late.
What is Swiss Miss Scarlett Johansson?
Back to you, Mattea.
We're warming up. Before, During, and After, 8.
- Matt. - What's "It's Not Easy Being Green" Party Pooper?
- That's correct. - Questionable Music, 2,000.
"No one will be watching us.
Why don't we do it in the road?"
- Matt. - Questionable, 16.
- Mattea. - What's "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?"
- That's the question. - Questionable Music, 12.
- James. - "How Do You Sleep?"
- That's the question. - 800, Questionable.
- James. - "What's New, Pussycat?"
That's a diner you don't want to be in, right?
Questionable Music, 4.
- James. - "Who'll Stop the Rain?"
- Right. - Plants and Trees, 8.
- James. - What's a saguaro?
- Yes. - Plants and Trees, 4.
"The nut-like seeds seen here grow on this Ohio state tree."
- Mattea. - What's the buckeye?
- That's right. - Before, During, and After, 12.
- Matt. - What's home of the brave...
That's time. Mattea.
What's home of the Brave Little Toaster strudel?
- That's correct. - Nice. I had it.
Nice.
Before, During, and After, 16.
- James. - What is Fountains of Wayne Knight Errant?
- That's correct. - Before, During, and After, 2.
That would be Ready Player One-Night Stand Your Ground.
- James, two clues left. - Geography, 4.
- Mattea. - Who is Ra?
- Yes. - Sculptors, bring it.
Finish the board.
- Mattea. - What's a tutu?
Tutu is correct. Mattea, you're in second place.
This would be a very different round
if not for the sad difference between oaks and maples.
But as it stands, James has a big lead
as we head into Final Jeopardy.
All three of you will be facing this category.
Real People in Shakespeare.
While they make their wagers, we'll take a quick break
and return with the clue.
For the first Final Jeopardy of the night,
we're dealing with Real People in Shakespeare.
Here's your clue.
30 seconds, Masters. Good luck.
We'll begin with Matt Amodio and his 5,200 points.
Who did you write down, Matt?
Who is, what, Louis X?
I'm afraid that's not correct.
You wagered everything. Drops you down to zero.
Mattea Roach had 11,200 points.
They wrote down, "Who is Henry of Navarre?"
No, I'm sorry. That's also incorrect.
And the wager was 314,
leaving them with 10,886 points.
James Holzhauer, if I remember correctly,
Shakespeare not your favorite Final Jeopardy category.
Did you get this right?
You wrote down, "Who is Richard II"?
No, this character in "Henry IV" is Hotspur.
Hotspur is the anachronism there.
So you're gonna lose 908,
dropping you down to 24,292 points.
So that's good enough for first place tonight.
Three more match points go to you.
And one for Mattea in second place.
We already know James Holzhauer is headed
to the "Jeopardy! Masters" finals.
But up next, the fourth and last semifinal game,
Andrew, Mattea, and Matt facing off for those last two spots.
Who will it be? Find out after the break.
We're coming right back.
Welcome back to "Jeopardy! Masters."
From Cambridge, Massachusetts, Matt Amodio.
From San Francisco, California, Andrew He.
And from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Mattea Roach.
Thanks, Johnny.
Now, in this matchup, we have three semifinalists
battling it out for just two remaining spots in the finals.
In other words, it's a game of musical chairs at this point.
Something's gotta give.
Any combination of these three players is still possible.
There are so many scenarios.
But as I look around, I notice James Holzhauer is not with us.
So that's gotta be a nice surprise.
Although Andrew has carried on James' tradition
of putting your winning record on your podium.
Check it out.
Let's get into the game.
Here are your categories in the Jeopardy round.
First up, some Fictional Castles.
Then we have Their Occupational Surnames,
Cooking Weights and Measures,
then The Movies,
It's The Silent Consonant, and finally...
I'm Neil deGrasse Tyson, your personal astrophysicist.
When I was a kid,
I came to the American Museum of Natural History
to marvel at the universe.
Today, I'll have clues about those marvels
from my offices here.
As you might expect, there's a Daily Double hidden on this board.
Let's reveal to the home audience where that will be.
Mattea, start the game off for us.
Movies, 1,000.
- Mattea. - What's "Bring It On"?
- Yes. - Movies, 8.

By the power of Grayskull.
Castle Grayskull. Back to you, Matt.
Surnames, 1,000.
- Matt. - What's... Lardner?
- Ring Lardner is right. - Occupational, 8.
That movie composer, Jerry Goldsmith.
- Matt, back to you. - Occupational, 6.
- Andrew. - Who is Shoemaker?
- Willie Shoemaker is right. - Universe, 8.
Here's Neil deGrasse Tyson.
"Jeopardy!" folks are unquestionably bright.
But these phenomena are the most luminous objects
in the universe, capable of emitting
one trillion times the energy of our sun.
- Matt. - What's pulsars?
No, I'm sorry.
Andrew.
What are... quasars?
- Quasars is right. - Movies, 4.
- Matt. - What's "Bringing Up Baby"?
- You're correct. - Silent Continent, 1,000.
- Andrew. - What is D?
- In djinn, yes. - Universe, 1,000.
Here's Neil deGrasse Tyson again.
I take a special interest in this smallest
of Uranus' five major moons.
With its high cliffs and low gravity,
if you dropped a rock, it would fall for ten minutes.
In fact, my wife and I gave my daughter
the same Shakespearean name.
They named their daughter Miranda.
- Andrew. - Occupational, 4.
- Mattea. - Who's Faulkner?
- That's correct. - Weights and Measures, 8.
- Andrew. - What is a sprig?
- That's it. - Silent Consonant, 8.
That's the silent P at the start of ptomaine.
- Andrew. - Silent, 6.
- Matt. - What's G?
- In phlegm. - Cooking Weight, 6.
- Matt. - What's leveled?
No.
- Mattea. - What's heaping?
The opposite of level. Yes, heaping.
- Universe, 6. - Here's Neil again.
This facility, at 81st Street off Central Park West,
has special meaning for me.
I visited there as a kid, became starstruck,
and today, I'm the director.
- Andrew. - What is the Hayden Planetarium?
- That's the name. - Universe, 4.
The answer there is the Daily Double.
And it's a video clue.
You're narrowly in the lead, Andrew.
4,400 points.
All right, putting it all at stake on the Universe.
Here's Neil deGrasse Tyson.
At age 14, I traveled to Africa
to observe a total solar eclipse,
an impressive event in which the moon blots out the sun,
revealing only this outermost solar atmosphere.
- What is the corona? - Corona is correct.
You have 8,800.

with Neil deGrasse Tyson one more time.
It was controversial, but I supported the downgrading
of Pluto to dwarf planet status by this body, the IAU for short.
- Mattea. - What's the International Astronomical Union?
That's correct.
The good news is, that takes you up to 2,800.
The bad news is, we don't get to hear
Neil's mellifluous voice anymore.
But Double Jeopardy is coming up right after this.
Matt Amodio was studying at New Haven
when he was first with us.
Now he's at Cambridge, which means
you spend a lot of time in Boston. A lot of history there, right?
Yeah, so I did the Freedom Trail.
Saw lots of classic American icons there.
But, you know, this "Jeopardy!" experience really shapes you,
because the whole time walking through it,
I was saying, "That would make a good trivia question.
That might be worth $2,000 one day," and so forth.
And so I'm either very fun or the most insufferable person
you can imagine to be with.
Andrew, he is with us again.
You haven't spent a lot of time in Boston recently.
But Washington, D.C., yeah. What were you doing there?
It's a wonderful city, made even more wonderful
by the fact that I spent a lot of time with a bunch of "Jeopardy!" alums.
I think it's one of the most underrated
parts of the whole experience.
You've joined a fraternal organization.
Mattea Roach is back with us.
Now, Mattea, your very first appearance on "Jeopardy!",
we asked you what your most prized possession was.
And you mentioned a denim jacket
on extended loan from your dad, right?
Yeah, well, it's now on permanent loan, unfortunately.
My dad actually passed away at the start of the month
very suddenly.
He's a huge part of the reason why I'm here.
He and my mom instilled an early love of geography in me.
My dad taught me all about Turner Classic Movies
and old music and all sorts of things.
So I wanted to, in what might be my last game of the series,
really recognize the impact that he had on my life.
And also recognize I was actually here at set
when my dad died.
And everyone who was at production,
my fellow contestants, I could not have asked
for better support going through what is
the worst day of my life, pretty much, so far.
Everyone who made sure
that I did not have to continue playing
and was able to go home and be with my mom and my brothers.
My whole family is so thankful for everyone here at "Jeopardy!"
for helping us through this really difficult time.
Mattea...
All of us here at "Jeopardy!" are just heartbroken.
So sorry for your loss.
And speaking as a dad, I can only guess
at how proud he must have been of you.
And I'm so glad he had the chance to see you play "Masters."
- Take a second. - Yeah.
Double Jeopardy starts now.
You guys pick up your signaling devices.
Mattea is gonna choose first. But you have a second.
- I'll talk about the categories. - Yeah.
Let's see what they will be in the Double Jeopardy round.
We have some Century Notes.
Then Let's Go Gulfing, Barons and Baronesses,
followed by Labor, Classic Car TV,
and finally, Eponyms.
Two Daily Doubles are hidden somewhere on that board.
We're showing the home audience where they are right now.
- And Mattea, you can select. - All right, Labor, 16.
- Matt. - What's Mother Jones?
- Right. - Gulf, 16.
The answer there...
Is one of the two Daily Doubles.
You can make a move for first place if you want, Matt.
I had 6,000 last time. Let's do it again.
- 6,000. - Maybe it'll work out better.
Here's your clue in Let's Go Gulfing.
What's Gulf of Aden?
Aden is right. You have 12,000 points.
Century, 12.
- Matt. - What's London Bridge?
- Yeah. - Century, 16.
The answer there...
Is the other Daily Double.
You know, in the absence of James Holzhauer,
these are a lot easier to find, Matt.
Well, this may very well be the last time
I ever say this, but 13,200.
Wow. Going all in twice in a row.
Here's your clue in Century Notes.
What's... Picts?
You did it. 26,400 points.

Here's your clue.

That is correct, taking you to, let's see, 16,000 points.
Not quite what you wanted.
But an impressive comeback there
after Matt found those Daily Doubles.
All right, here comes Final Jeopardy.
Your category today will be...
Opera and History.
Interesting. We'll see if they like their opera after these words.
Two old "Jeopardy!" favorites that taste great together...
Opera and History in Final Jeopardy today.
And here's the clue.
30 seconds, Masters. Good luck.
We'll begin with Mattea Roach and their 6,400 points.
The opera they thought of was...
"What is 'Lohengrin'?"
You're on the right track. That is the right composer,
but not the right opera, I'm afraid.
It'll cost you 601 points,
dropping you down to 5,799.
Andrew He was in second place.
His response,
"What is 'Marriage of Figaro'?"
No, I'm sorry, although it is by a Viennese composer.
I like that response.
You wagered just 801, knocking you down to 15,199.
Matt Amodio had the big lead
after those bold Daily Double wagers.
He was writing awhile.
He wrote down, "What an honor it is to share a stage
with these wonderful people." It's true.
We love our Masters.
In my heart, I'm giving you credit for that, Matt.
"Gotterdammerung," "The Twilight of the Gods."
So that will knock you down to...
didn't wager a single point.
32,800 for Matt.
Three match points...
For digging down and getting this win
when he really needed it.
Now, as we look at our leaderboard,
James Holzhauer we know is making it to the finals
with nine match points.
Matt, thanks to that win, moves into second place with three.
By finishing second, Andrew earns one match point,
pulling him into a tie with Mattea
at two match points apiece.
We go to the relevant tiebreaker here,
which is the number of correct responses offered.
Mattea, you gave us 50 correct responses in the semifinals.
- Andrew He gave us 45. - Oh, my God.
By a margin of just five responses,
Mattea Roach is headed to the final.
Andrew He, I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you here.
One of the greatest tournament players
in recent "Jeopardy!" history will be headed home
with fourth place and $100,000.
Mattea, Matt, you'll be joining James
in the "Jeopardy! Masters" finals.
That all begins on our next episode, folks.
You're not gonna want to miss this epic showdown.
We'll see you then. So long.
