Who is John Updike?
Yes. And you now have 18,800 points.
Yogesh, you win your first "Jeopardy! Masters" game.
That's something that we don't see very often, James.
You lost in a runaway.
I'm told it happened once in "Jeopardy!" GOAT,
although it's all a blur to me.
Victoria Groce is in first place right now.
Yogesh won our other game and also has 3 match points
but Victoria is in the lead based on our tiebreaker
of more correct responses.
This year's Masters are battling it out
in an elite competition.

This is "Jeopardy! Masters."
Here is our first group of "Jeopardy!" Champions --
a quantitative researcher from New York, New York...
...a writer and podcast host
from Toronto, Ontario, Canada...
...and the self-described final boss of "Jeopardy!"
from Las Vegas, Nevada...
And now here is the host of "Jeopardy! Masters" --
Ken Jennings!
Thank you, Johnny.
Welcome back to "Jeopardy! Masters."
Just as a reminder, each of these episodes
will feature two games.
Three of our players face off in the first game,
the other three in the second.
Our Masters are awarded match points at the end of each game.
And remember, only the players with the top cumulative
match-point totals will ultimately advance.
In our first show, it was the "Masters" newcomers,
Victoria and Yogesh,
who dominated here on the Alex Trebek Stage,
each pulling off an impressive runaway victory.
You'll be seeing them in our second matchup tonight,
but first, welcome back to Matt, Mattea, and James,
a rematch of our "Masters" final lineup from last year.
Good luck to all three of you.
Let's see what categories are in play for you
in the Jeopardy! round.
We begin by going back to some...
And finally...
I'm Giada De Laurentiis.

You have 10,000 points all of a sudden.
Italian cooking, 1,000.
Here's Giada De Laurentiis.
Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids,
anchovy adds amazing umami flavor.
But if you hate the texture,
try this traditional fermented Italian fish sauce
that's just anchovies and salt.
It's called colatura.
Back to you, Matt.
I don't think I'll be trying that.
Guns N' Roses, 800.
- James. - What's Whitesnake?

is a lemony roasted chicken named
for this beautiful city on the Gulf of Salerno,
whose coast is known for breathtaking views.
Matt.
- What's Amalfi? - Yes.
600.
Giada.
The simplest dishes can often be the most satisfying,
like this classic Roman dish
that uses nothing more than pasta,
salted water, pepper, and Pecorino Romano.
- James. - What's cacio e pepe?
- You're right. - 400.
Giada De Laurentiis.
Literally "bone with a hole" in Italian,
this hearty veal dish needs time to braise
to let the marrow and the shanks
add rich flavor to the dish.
- Matt. - What's osso buco?
- Right. - Do not, under any circumstances, bring it.
I will not, but Giada De Laurentiis will bring it.
Here's the final clue.

of this classic four-letter sauce,
while the alla Napoletana,
made with a big chunk of beef,
is often called "Sunday sauce" in America.
- James. - What's ragu?
That is correct. You've pulled off
a bit of a comeback after Matt's early lead.
Mattea will select first in the Double Jeopardy! round.
"Jeopardy! Masters" continues in just a moment.
Matt Amodio now lives in New York City,
but, Matt, I understand you took a recent trip to Cleveland.
Tell me why.
Yeah, 50-Kent.
Uh, my home, beloved Cleveland,
is constantly getting eclipsed.
And it's unfortunate, but in this one circumstance,
it was awesome 'cause it was in the path
-of complete totality and the eclipse. -Right.
And it was on the home opener of the Guardians.
And so it was just a wonderful day downtown with the eclipse,
a bit of a party, a ball game.
I finally found something that makes baseball even better.
What do they do during play if the moon eclipses the sun?
They moved the game to start after the eclipse.
- Oh, I see. - Yes.
But it was still a fun time.
Be cool for the seventh inning stretch...
- Yeah, yeah, perfect. - ...if you can get the heavens to cooperate.
Mattea Roach is back with us from Toronto.
You had a very cool experience when one of your favorite bands
- had a movie come back out. - Yeah.
So as I know you know, Ken,
the rerelease of "Stop Making Sense,"
the Talking Heads' concert film, came out last fall,
and the premiere was in Toronto.
And through what I can only call a series of, like,
divinely ordained coincidences,
I guess, I managed to get into the after party with the band...
- Oh, wow. - ...and had a very delightful conversation
with Jerry Harrison, guitarist and keyboardist.
He was so generous with his time.
It was, like, one of the coolest things
that's ever happened to me, probably.
I'm so jealous.
Speaking of things I'm jealous of,
James Holzhauer is with us from Las Vegas,
the final boss of "Jeopardy!"
What did you recently get to do, James?
Yeah, thanks to the charity connections I made in Las Vegas,
I was able to attend the Super Bowl this year,
and I was able to bring with me Paul Bailey,
who's been a long-time friend of the trivia community
and who organized two Titan Throwdown events
to raise money for unhoused
high-school students in Las Vegas.
So it was a really wonderful experience,
except that I had pinkeye during it.
So I was watching the whole game out of my bad eye
and, you know, clearing some gunk out of the other one.
- Very exciting, especially for people sitting near you, I bet. - Yes.
A little discount on those tickets.
Alright, it's time for Double Jeopardy!
Mattea, you're going to select first.
Let's take a look at what categories
you three are dealing with in this round.
We begin, sadly, with...
And we have..
And finally...
Each response is a series of letters
that would average out to the GPA
we give you, the grade point average.
Mattea, are you going to go start there?
- You seem excited. - No, that sounds horrible.
I'm going to go for Death of a Writer, 1,600.
- James. - Who's Ben Jonson?

Answer -- Daily Double.

Here's your clue in The Response's GPA.

That's correct, James, and you finish Double Jeopardy!

That's higher than the highestfinalscore
in last year's "Jeopardy! Masters."
Let's see what category you three will be facing in Final today --
20th Century Leaders.
Contestants, you make your wagers,
and then we'll come back with the clue.
Stay with us.
20th Century Leaders is the Final Jeopardy! category.
But which one? Let's find out. Here's the clue.
30 seconds, Masters. Good luck.
We'll start in the middle with Mattea Roach.
What 20th-century leader did Mattea think of?
Who is Clemenceau?
Prime minister of France. That is correct.
So they will add 158,
taking them to 5,758. Lucky number?
It's a number for a friend.
Ah, for a friend's lucky number. That's nice.
Matt Amodio is in second place with 19,200 points.
Did he come up with Clemenceau?
He did. He's going to add...
nothing at all. Zero bet.
So he stands pat at 19,200 points.
But James Holzhauer had 45,200.
Was he correct with Clemenceau?
He was.
So he will add...
908.
46,108.
That is the new "Jeopardy! Masters"
one-game record, I believe.
3 match points for James with the win,
1 match point for Matt in second place.
No match points for Mattea in this game.
In our second half tonight,
Victoria, Yogesh, and Amy face off.
It's going to be a great game. Come right back.

Amy Schneider is back with us from Oakland.
Amy, I understand that, since we last saw you
at the "Jeopardy!" Invitational,
you've been doing a bit of traveling.
Where'd you go?
I went to a music festival in Tahoe.
It was pretty fun.
It was pretty fun? That's the story?
This is the 63rd anecdote I have told on this stage, Ken.
I am running dry.
You're out of material.
Are you coming for my record
of nearly 100 boring non-stories?
I mean, ideally, yes.
Or we could just cut this part of the show, and I could just
go for 100 shows.
That'd be cool, too, but...
I mean, I guess the pressure is either
to start lying to the host of "Jeopardy!"
about your glamorous life
or to just start doing insane things.
You got a plan either way?
Well, I got to start doing insane things
I can talk about on television.
Ah, I see. That's true.
We are on network prime time right now.
Yogesh Raut is back with us from Vancouver, Washington.
I understand that there was a clue
in the Tournament of Champions, Yogesh,
that you wish had gone differently. What happened there?
Yeah, I mean, I don't have a ton of regrets
about how things turned out, but, you know,
one that keeps haunting me is that, you know, you --
at one point, I was asked to name an asteroid
that was slightly smaller than Ceres,
and, you know, it was in the midst of a game.
I gave a serious answer. It was wrong. So I lost points,
and then Troy got it right.
Knowing that I would be getting it wrong,
I can't help but wish that, you know,
you'd let me go back and retake it
so that I could say, "What is mini ceres?"
Ooh, that's pretty good.
When did this occur to you, though?
Too late to matter?
The spirit of the staircase.
Well, at the end of the show, Yogesh,
I'm going to ask you if you want a second chance at any jokes.
We'll give you a shot. You won't get any points for them, though.
Victoria Groce is back with us from Pittsburgh.
Victoria, I can't believe this, but your daughter
is now a freshman in college.
She is a freshman in college,
just finishing up her first year at Chatham in Pittsburgh.
And what is dorm life like for your daughter?
So she loves it,
but we were very surprised when she was signing up for her dorm.
They had this whole list of policies.
You know, you can't bring certain small appliances.
You are allowed to have an emotional support animal
if you go through the proper channels. Okay.
But you are explicitly prohibited
from having an emotional support lobster.
Oh, wait. Really?
You have to wonder who the famous dorm resident was.
We assume there was an incident, but we don't know.
There must have been a lobster.
I think it was an administrator
who was burned by an emotionally unsupportive lobster.
That's right.
Alright. It's time now for Double Jeopardy!

The category today is --
20th Century Writers,
and the clue is coming up right after this short break.
Back in a moment.
Our masters have made their wagers based on their scores
and their knowledge of 20th Century Writers.
Let's reveal the clue.
30 seconds. Good luck.
Amy Schneider and Yogesh Raut
duking it out for second place here,
knowing that every match point counts.
So this is important.
What did Amy come up with?
She wrote down. "Who is T.S. Eliot?"
And that is correct.
Born in American but later became a British citizen.
So we're going to add to Amy's score...
the 1,601 she wagered.
She now has 11,801,
and a 1 point lead over Yogesh for second place.
Did Yogesh think of T.S. Eliot?
He's right, as well.
Did he bet one point or more?
He did. 8,601. Takes him to 20,401 points,
comfortably in second place.
But Victoria Groce ran away and hid in this game.
41,000 points heading into Final Jeopardy!
Did she think of T.S. Eliot?
No, unfortunately "Tolkein" is not correct.
Hi to Nora, the non-lobster-owning freshman.
How much did you wager, Victoria?
9,000 points will drop you down to 32,000,
but that's enough for the win today.
Victoria gets another win.
She's two for two.
3 match points for finishing in first place today.
Yogesh adds 1 match point for finishing in second.
No match points for Amy in third.
Let's take a look at our leaderboard.
Having won both her games,
Victoria Groce is in first place, of course, with 6 points.
James and Yogesh both have 4 points,
though James is ahead on tiebreakers
right now in second place.
Then we have Matt Amodio in fourth and Mattea in fifth
with 1 match point each.
Amy Schneider has yet to notch
any match points in this competition.
But that could change next time.
