Last time on "Jeopardy! Masters"...

GPA, 1,600.
Answer -- the other Daily Double.
I'm staring Matt down, trying to get a player read.
Alright. He looks serious. All of it, please.
Wow.
What is AABBA?
That is it. Yes.
40,000 points for you.
3 match points for James with the win.
That is the new "Jeopardy! Masters"
one-game record, I believe.
Let's try Renaissance Masters for 800.

Tryna Mine for 800.
Answer there -- the other Daily Double in the round.
Who is Hoover?

Victoria Groce is in first place, of course.
James and Yogesh both have 4 points,
but that could change next time.
This year's Masters are battling it out
in an elite competition --
James Holzhauer,
Mattea Roach,
Matt Amodio,
Yogesh Raut,
Victoria Groce,
Amy Schneider.
Six competitors, three rounds, one champion.
This is "Jeopardy! Masters."
Here is our first group of "Jeopardy!" champions --

...from New York, New York...
...and from Vancouver, Washington...
And now here is the host of "Jeopardy! Masters" --
Ken Jennings.
Thank you, Johnny Gilbert.
And welcome back to "Jeopardy! Masters."
So far in this year's competition,
every single one of our games
has been a runaway victory for the winner.
Our two early leaders,
Victoria Groce and James Holzhauer,
will be facing off head-to-head tonight,
but that's in Game 2.
First up, in Game 1, we have Yogesh, Matt, and Amy
on the hunt for match points.
I wish you good hunting.
Let's see what categories are in store for you
in the Jeopardy! round.
We begin with a little...
And finally...
I'm Michael Douglas with clues about
some Hollywood history madeby generations within families.

I'll take Ghosts, 1,000.

Anthony Wayne is correct for 1,000.
Ghosts, 800.

Let's do 1,000, please.
Here's your clue in European Geography.

You're out of the hole. Make a selection.
The Elite, 1,000.

Noun, 800.

Here's Michael Douglas.
I've got to include my father, Kirk Douglas.
In his 60-plus-year career,
he's played such memorable roles as Spartacus,
Vincent van Gogh,
and, in 1957, a French colonel in World War I
who attempts to defend three of his men
facing a court-martial in this classic Kubrick film.
- Amy. - What is "Paths of Glory"?
That's the movie. You add 1,000.
Clothes Closet, 1,000.
The pattern of the sweater is called this,
after the place in the Shetlands where it originated.
Matt.
- What's Fair Isle? - It is Fair Isle.
Clothes, 800.
- Yogesh. - What is bateau?
- It is bateau. - Okay.
Hollywood Legacies, 800.
Michael Douglas again.

but Anjelica Huston is thethird generation in her family.
Her father, the great director John,
and her grandfather Walter both won for this 1948 film
about gold prospecting in Mexico.

Okay. European Geography, 600.

- That's right. - Hollywood, 600.
Michael Douglas.
In a 2018 interview,
Mariska Hargitay saidher late mother, this actress,

"Money Never Sleeps," where it's still about the game.
- Matt. - What's "The Hustler"?
No.
- Yogesh. - What is "Wall Street"?

among those she thanked were her parents,
acting legends in their own right.
- Amy. - Who is Dern?
- Laura Dern is right. - Noun, 200.
- Yogesh. - What is shroud?
- Correct. - European Geography, 200.
- Amy. - What is Amsterdam?
That's the correct capital.
Clothes Closet will finish the round.
The skirt's uneven hemline is called this,
not because it's a little square of fabric,
but because of the way the points fall.
We stumped you on the last clue. That's a handkerchief skirt.
Alright, all three of you are off to a good start.
Yogesh has the lead at the end of the Jeopardy! round.
Double Jeopardy! is up next. Don't miss it.
Amy Schneider is here from Oakland,
but, Amy, as you've told us before, you're originally from Dayton, Ohio.
And I understand that upbringing once inspired you
to write a song to the city of Dayton.
Indeed, it did.
You know, I love Dayton. I'm proud of it.
I also did move away from it eventually.
And so I wrote a song that was hopefully lovingly mocking it.
And I won't give you the whole thing, but, like --
Will you give us a little bit of your ode to Dayton?
- I will give you a little bit of it. - Thank you, Amy.
Which was, "There are those who say
that Kitty Hawk was the home of the Wright brothers.
In Dayton, we despise these folk more than any others.
Detroit may have their bike shop, and their plane is in D.C.,
but Dayton's got their corpses, and that's good enough for me."
And it's a good mnemonic for tourists in Dayton
to remember which sites they can see.
- Yes. - Apparently the Wright brothers' grave.
It's a very beautiful cemetery.
- I've seen it, but yeah. - I had no idea.
Matt Amodio is back with us from New York City.
I understand your preparation for "Jeopardy! Masters"
included some audio books, Matt.
Yes, so I know when you look at me,
the first thing that comes to mind is,
"He must be a big Jane Austen fan."
- I didn't know how to ask. - Yes.
And, you know, I wanted to be more cultured,
picked up one in audio book form, loved it,
thought I would read another, and before the weekend was up,
I had read all of them.
I think Jane and I would have been good friends
if we knew each other in person.
She's snarky. She's funny. It's great.
I don't know what your partner thinks about that,
but I'm glad you enjoyed the Jane Austen.
Yogesh Raut is back with us from Vancouver, Washington.
You have a podcast, Yogesh,
and you've interviewed some other veterans
of the Alex Trebek Stage.
So you've had them on as contestants?
- Right, yes. - Who have you had on?
So, I mean, before going on "Jeopardy!"
I had, you know, Troy and Victoria.
But, you know, after my first taping, I thought,
you know, I invited my new friends,
Vince Bacani, Erin Portman, Jimmy Davoren.
And then after the TOC,
you know, everyone kind of wanted to be on it.
So, you know, so far, I've taped with Sean, Jake,
Juveria, Emmett, Deb, Jared, and Yungsheng,
and, you know, the rest are kind of queuing up.
That's great, because all those are people
you defeated in the TOC.
And apparently, they want to hang out with you more.
Go figure, right?
Yogesh, you have the lead right now.
Matt's in third and will select first in Double Jeopardy!
Let's show you fine folks what the categories will be.
We begin with...
You'll name the character.
Each correct response will have those two letters
somewhere within it. The "A" will come first.
- Matt, start us off. - Nature, 1,600.
The answer there is the Daily Double.
You're a little too good at that, Matt.
Let's do 2,200.
Betting it all on Nature. Here's your clue.
What's...
pangolin?
Pangolin is correct, yes. You double up to 4,400.
Close game. Make a selection.

who served Tut as this six-letter chief minister
and later became Pharaoh, too.

The "M" is for Monterrey.

That's the word.

- Yogesh. - Who is Van Helsing?
From "Dracula," well done.

Answer -- the other Daily Double.
You can see the scores, Yogesh.
Yeah.
Oh, sure, let's make this a true Daily Double.
Okay.
A lot of points at stake in Literature: Who Said It?
Who was...
O'Brien?
In "Nineteen Eighty-four." You got it.
30,800 points now.
Country Music, 2,000.
It's no coin flip.
This classic of '90s country by Jo Dee Messina
was the subject of a 2022 song about hearing it in a karaoke bar.
- Yogesh. - What is "Heads Carolina, Tails California"?
Good for 2,000 more.
Country Music, 1,600.
Paving the way for other Canadians like Shania Twain
was this first female solo artist
to win Best Album at the CMA Awards.
- Yogesh. - Who is Murray?
- It is Anne Murray. - Okay.
Country Music, 1,200.
In the 1960s, the face of country music was changed
when this singer became country music's first Black superstar.
- Yogesh. - Who was Pride?
- Charley Pride, yes. - Colleges & Universities, 1,200.
- Amy. - What is Davidson?
Were you worried you weren't gonna get the Warriors clue?
- Yeah. - You got there.
Nature, 1,200.
- Matt. - What's kudzu?
It is.
Literature, 800.
Matt.

and later daughters Helen, June, and Anita.
- Matt. - What's Carter?
Those are the Carters. That takes you to 7,200, Matt.
But Yogesh has a big lead thanks to that Daily Double,
36,400 points as we head into Final.
But remember, second place matters, too.
Those match points are so important.
Let's see what category you'll be dealing with.
The Theater.
You three make your wagers, and we'll come back with the clue.
Stay with us.
We are heading to The Theater for Final Jeopardy! today.
Let's raise the curtain on the clue.
30 seconds. Good luck.
Matt Amodio in the middle had 7,200 points.
What show did you think of, Matt?
"What is 'Pirates of Penzance'?"
That is the right show, set just down the coast in Cornwall.
They used costumes from "H.M.S. Pinafore," apparently,
in a hurry to obtain the British copyright.
So you're going to add to your 7,200.
What did you wager?
Wagered it at all. 14,400 points.
Currently, you are in second place.
But Amy Schneider had 12,200.
Did she also think of "Pirates of Penzance"?
She's correct. Did she wager enough?
2,201 takes her to 14,401,
and it looks like she will finish in second place
by a single point.
But Yogesh Raut had that big lead, 36,400 points.
Did he know it was Gilbert and Sullivan?
No response.
But he wagered...
nothing at all, so it won't matter much.
With 36,400 points, Yogesh,
you win this game of "Jeopardy! Masters,"
and that gives you 3 more match points to your total.
Amy Schneider, for finishing second,
that's your first match point. Congratulations.
Matt Amodio finishes third. No match points tonight.
Coming up in a moment,
it's the very first match between two heavy hitters,
Victoria Groce and James Holzhauer,
with Mattea Roach in the mix, as well.
We'll see you in a moment. Stay tuned.
Welcome back to "Jeopardy! Masters."
Here are our next three champions --

...and from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania...
Welcome back to these three Masters,
with Victoria and James facing off
for the very first time on the Alex Trebek Stage,

It is the Joker, yes. You have 6,000 points.
And you're lucky that James doesn't scuba dive,
because you have the lead right now.
James and Mattea are tied for second place.
Double Jeopardy! begins in just a moment.
Come back for more "Jeopardy! Masters."
Canada's beloved Mattea Roach is with us in this game.
Mattea, I understand you've been trying out
what you call the Buzzy Cohen school of "Jeopardy!" prep.
What does that consist of?
Yeah, it's not working for me so far,
but it consists, basically, of getting swole.
I finally started going to the gym after talking about, like,
"Oh, I'm gonna totally get a membership,"
for, like, years and years.
What I've discovered, though, is I sustained this wrist injury
when I was 18 from, like, falling off a barstool.
- Oh, no. - And so I can't actually lift anything
more than 10 pounds with one hand.
I have a grip strength trainer in the greenroom,
so I've been using that to pass the time.
Is that your buzzer hand, as well, your barstool hand?
No, it's my non-dominant, thankfully.
Got it. Got it. Well, hopefully, the grip strength works out for you.
James Holzhauer is back with us from Las Vegas.
I understand you've been on a trading card, James,
and a very unusual one.
Yeah, so Upper Deck asked me if I'd like to make a trading card.
I said, "Sure, that sounds fun,"
but they actually wanted a really weird thing.
You know, they have these things with, like,
a swatch from a game-used jersey...
- Like a uniform, yeah. - ...and they asked me for game-used clothing
from "Jeopardy!" to send them.
So I knew exactly which shirt I wore
one time when I lost to Emma Boettcher.
I shipped that thing right off.
If you go on eBay right now, you can probably get one of those.
- You wanted that out of the house anyway. - Absolutely.
And now collectors are snapping it up.
For sure. Great.
Victoria Groce is here from Pittsburgh.
Victoria, I understand you spent a year studying Danish.
- I did. - Was this is for "Jeopardy!"?
Why does one spend a year studying Danish?
It is not for "Jeopardy!"
As viewers of "The Chase" know, I am an avid knitter.
- Okay. - And I found this reality knitting show
on YouTube called "Den Store Strikkedyst."
Apologies to our Danish viewers.
"The Great Danish Knit-Off"?
- "The Great Danish Knit-Off." - No.
It is people in a castle knitting competitively.
And you get voted out of the castle if your knitting is not up to snuff,
and it turns out that only two of the episodes had subtitles.
- Oh, so you had to know Danish. - So I spent a year learning Danish
so that I could watch the rest.
I mean, that reminds me, speaking of your knitting,
that, you know, you and James
are meeting for the first time on this stage,
- but you are co-workers on ABC's "The Chase," right? - We are.
Are you rivals from that? Are you friends? What's going on?
I think we intrinsically compete with each other
on that stage, right?
We're both slightly competitive humans.
- Yeah. - I see.
So that's just spilling over here today.
Well, right now, because of that tough Daily Double,
Victoria is in the lead.
Mattea, you're going to select first in Double Jeopardy!
Let's see what categories we have for you to choose from.

I believe the move is all in.
What do you think? Poor technique.
Good strategy, though.
James is going to have to show you the gesture later,
but here is your clue, Victoria, in They Did Bad.

That is correct.
You're at 28,000 points.
Director's Resume for 1,200.

And look at this -- For the first time in this competition,
first place is not a foregone conclusion
as we head into Final Jeopardy!
All three of you will be battling it out
on this category --
Famous Last Words.
That's appropriate for two of you.
We'll see what happens after the break.
Famous Last Words is tonight's final Final Jeopardy! category.
And here's the clue.
30 seconds, Masters. Good luck.
Mattea Roach is up first.
They had 7,000 points, and they wrote down...
"Who is Thomas More?"
You're on the right track, Mattea, but I'm afraid that is not correct.
It'll cost you...
everything.
Knocks you down from 7,000 to zero.
James Holzhauer was in second place with 17,600.
His response?
He also thought of Thomas More. We know that's not correct.
How much will it cost you, James?
6,400, leaving you with 11,200.
Victoria Groce had the big lead heading into Final.
What did she write down?
Also Thomas More.
No, it was, in fact, More's predecessor, Cardinal Wolsey.
You had the right king.
He could not get Henry VIII
out of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon.
So it's all going to come down to your wager, Victoria.
You bet...
5,601, taking you down to 23,999 points.
And you escape with the win.
3 more match points for you.
You are undefeated so far.
James Holzhauer, for finishing second, adds 1 match point.
Mattea Roach finishes third,
and no match points for them tonight.
Let's take a look at the "Jeopardy! Masters" leaderboard
and how it stands after night three.
Victoria, undefeated, is in the lead, of course, with 9 points,
followed by Yogesh Raut in second with 7.
James Holzhauer now has 5 after he adds 1.
Matt, Amy, and Mattea have 1 match point apiece
and are ranked in that order.
"Jeopardy! Masters" is back on Friday this week.
We will see you then right here from the Alex Trebek Stage.
I'm Ken Jennings. Have a great night.
