'Last time on "Jeopardy! Masters"...'
Comes down to Yogesh Raut with 24,400.
Did he know it was moccasins and tomahawks?
He is correct, as well.
Yogesh Raut, the winner
of the first "Jeopardy! Masters" semifinal.
You have 13,200,
but Victoria maintains a big lead with 27,200.
What did you wager, Victoria?
No points.
27,200.
A big win for you in game two.
Amy, you were taking some swings there to try to catch up,
and it didn't work out for you.
So tonight, we know you will finish in third place
with no match points.
You know, I've got two more chances.
If I win one of them, I'm probably through.
So all I can do is just keep playing.
Yogesh Raut in first place with 4 match points.
But Victoria Groce nipping at his heels.
James and Amy in third and fourth place, respectively.
A lot of "Jeopardy! Masters" still to be played,
so this is still anybody's game.
'Six "Jeopardy!" Masters battled in an elite competition.'
'Now, only four remain... '
'James Holzhauer...'
'Yogesh Raut...'
'Victoria Groce...'
'Amy Schneider.'
'Two episodes. Four games.'
'Only three will advance.'
'It's the semifinals of "Jeopardy! Masters."'
'Here are the champions in tonight's first match-up.'
'Amy Schneider, '
'James Holzhauer, '
'and Victoria Groce.'
'And now, here is the host of "Jeopardy! Masters,"'
'Ken Jennings!'
Thank you. Thank you, Johnny Gilbert.
And welcome back to the "Jeopardy! Masters" semifinals.
Only two games remain in this round of play,
and every match point is critical,
because, as you know, only three of these Masters
will advance to the finals.
Tonight, we begin with Victoria,
James in quotation marks... perhaps expecting that
he'll appear in all the correct responses...
and Amy.
Now, Amy Schneider has yet to notch
any points in these semifinals.
But if we know anything about our 40-game winner,
it is that she is capable of digging deep
when in need of a comeback.
So we'll see what happens tonight.
Good luck to all three Masters.
Let's see what categories you're dealing with
in the Jeopardy! round.
Each response will contain within it
the name of a state capital.
And finally, in the sixth spot...
'I'm Bill Nye, with clues about what may be'
'in our planet's future.'
'Some of it involves looking to the past.'
Victoria, you make the first selection.
I'll take Short Kingdoms for 800.

but you can wager up to 1,000.

'Neanderthal sex, and the mass extinction'
'that ended this geologic period some 66 million years ago.'
- James. - What is Cretaceous?
It is.
- Future, 800. - Bill, again.
My book, "Undeniable," explains

'as some doubters have argued.'
- Victoria. - What is thermodynamics?

Back to the Science Guy.

'I advocate for space exploration, '
'following in the footsteps of this first Society president'

'as my professor at Cornell University.'
- Victoria. - Who was Sagan?
That is correct.
That means you maintain your lead
at the end of the first round.
Amy's going to select first.
Double Jeopardy! is coming up right after this break.
Stay tuned.
Amy Schneider, from Oakland, California.
Amy, we live in a digital age,
but I understand you've been getting into analog lately.
What does that mean?
Yeah. I mean, I think it means that I'm middle aged,
you know, but I definitely... I mean,
I think that a lot of people have sort of learned,
with the way streaming services have changed,
that if you can't hold something,
you don't really own it.
And then I've also... I've gotten into vinyl records,
and, like, it's just sort of fascinating
that they play the music
because they are shaped exactly like the music.
I just think... I don't know. I've really gotten into it.
All of which is to say that, like,
I'm a huge disappointment to my past computer programmer self.
I bet a lot of those people now own a ton of vinyl.
I would not be surprised,
judging by my college son and his friends.
James Holzhauer is back with us.
James, tell us about the honor you received in my hometown.
Yeah, so a certain Seattle-area
"Jeopardy!" personality suggested to the Mariners
that I throw out a first pitch for them.
So, I did.
And after I throw the pitch, I'm hustling to my seat,
and a fan comes up, says,
"Oh, please, please take a selfie with me." So, okay.
Pose for the selfie. "Oh, thank you, Ken.
You're my favorite."
You would not believe how much I had to pay that guy.
It sounds like he nailed it.
Well, congratulations.
Victoria Groce is with us from Pittsburgh.
Victoria, you're a cat owner.
Yes, we have two.
One of them has aspirations of being a vegetarian?
That's right. We have one who likes cat food.
The other one, we grow about 15 different kinds
of herbs at our house.
He will come running from anywhere in the house
and yowl at you if you bring herbs in the house,
and we did some research, and we think we know why.
- Okay. - And the reason is
there are certain cats
that appear to have receptors in their brain
that make things other than catnip psychedelic.
Oh, your cat's getting high on...
My cat is getting high on his own supply. Yeah.
I do have a little bit of bad news, Victoria,
even worse than your cat being a pothead,
which is that I accepted your response of "anachronistic"
in a category where we needed nouns.
So I'm going to have to ding you for 400 points now.
That means you and James are currently tied for the lead.
Amy, you'll select first in Double Jeopardy!
Here are the categories, Masters.
Amy, where would you like to begin?

You have 21,400... Almost, but not quite enough
to put this game away as we head into Final Jeopardy!
Here's the category for you three Masters.
Metallic Elements.
And the clue's coming up right after this short break.
Come right back.
The clue that will decide this game is in the category
Metallic Elements.
Here's the Final Jeopardy! clue.
30 seconds. Good luck.
We'll start with Amy Schneider and 1,200 points.
Amy wrote down, "What is astatine?"
I'm afraid that's not correct.
Amy wagered nothing at all.
So she still has 1,200 points.
Victoria Groce was in second place with 10,800.
Her response was, "What is antimony?"
That is correct. Anti-monos, Greek for "one."
So you are going to add whatever you wagered.
Ah, but Victoria wagered nothing at all.
She still has 10,800 points.
James Holzhauer had that big lead... 21,400.
His response... Did he know it was antimony?
He did not. He was writing bismuth.
So we're going to have to take away 1,122 points,
leaving him with 20,278.
But he wins this game of the semifinals.
Congratulations, James.
That's 3 match points for James
with that first place finish.
For finishing second, 1 point for Victoria Groce.
No match points for Amy Schneider in third.
And our final combination of Masters semifinalists
will face off in our last semifinal game.
It's coming up after the break. Stay with us.

It's coming up in just a moment.
Amy Schneider, you've played enough "Jeopardy!" tournaments
at this point that you know they often end
with the players getting a chance
to thank people, shoutouts.
What messages do you have?
- Yeah. - Well, I just wanted to...
and I've thanked her before,
but it is never a bad idea to, again, thank my mom.
You know, I wouldn't be here for a lot of reasons,
not just that she taught me to, you know,
learn and everything like that,
but just the courage she showed in her life,
pursuing, like, a career in mathematics at a time
when that was even less welcoming to women
than it is now, and just, you know, really being herself.
And so, yeah, just thanking her.
This is going to air in May.
It's the perfect month to thank your mom.
Thanks, Amy, and thanks for being here again.
Yogesh Raut is back with us.
Yogesh, now that you're a star of
the "Jeopardy!" Cinematic Universe,
are there other shows you would like to conquer?
Yeah. So we already talked about how I'm not eligible for
"Only Connect,"
but there are a couple I'd like to pitch myself for.
Tom Scott, I already applied to be on "Lateral."
Hopefully, now you think I'm famous enough.
And the good folks at Dropout,
I would absolutely love to be a contestant on "Um, Actually."
Ah. So it sounds like you're mostly here just to try out
for podcasts you like.
"Jeopardy's!" a stepping stone to you
to "Lateral."
Just like it was for James.
Well, speaking of which,
James, you and I used to be co-workers on "The Chase."
I never had the experience of watching it
with anyone as it aired, but I understand you did?
Yeah, so I was gathered with my friends
to watch football on a Sunday, as we always do,
and we had a new person joining us this week.
So I was chatting with this person for seven hours,
and then "The Chase" happened to be airing on Sunday night.
So we put it on for a viewing party.
And this gentleman is like,
"Wow. I don't know why we're watching this show,
but this guy is really smart."
And it occurred to me,
like, he had no idea that this person on the screen
was the same person sitting next to him all day.
Is he your least observant friend?
I would have to say so.
Major League Baseball umpire or... That's amazing.
Well, maybe he just was nervous about meeting you,
but that's a very cool story.
It's time for Double Jeopardy! Right now.

'Viola Spolin ran workshops for this Chicago troupe'

- Amy. - What is Second City?
- Second City is correct. - Yes. Taking you to 8,200.
An impressive showing against... wow...
two great games with big wagers
from James Holzhauer and Yogesh Raut.
Let's see what Final Jeopardy! Has in store
for you three Masters.
21st Century Literary Characters.
You three make your wagers, and we'll come back with the clue.
It's time for the last Final Jeopardy! of the semis.
21st Century Literary Characters is the category.
And here's the clue.
30 seconds. Good luck.
Amy Schneider is first up with 8,200 points today.
Her response was "What is Demon Copperhead?"
She got Demon in, and that is correct, yes.
Barbara Kingsolver's Pulitzer-winning take
on "David Copperfield."
So you're going to add to your 8,200... 8,000.
You finish with 16,200 points.
That's impressive against Yogesh and James,
because look at these scores.
Yogesh had 24,800 coming into final.
Did he remember Demon Copperhead?
He's correct, as well.
He wagered 7,201,
which means he is in the lead right now by just 1 point.
So we come to James Holzhauer.
My wife may or may not be reading this book right now.
Oh, wow.
You may owe your wife a very nice present.
Demon Copperhead is correct.
Did you bet more than 1 point?
17,601.
Brings you to 49,601.
And James Holzhauer wins the last of our semifinal games.
That's 3 match points for James
for finishing in first place tonight.
1 point for Yogesh Raut in second place.
Here is where the leader board stands
at the end of the semifinals.
That win pulls James Holzhauer ahead of Yogesh
into first place, with 7 match points in the semis.
Yogesh is in second with 5.
Victoria Groce managed 4 match points.
Amy Schneider in fourth.
That means we will not be seeing you in the finals,
but for finishing in fourth place, $100,000.
Not too shabby.
One of the all-time "Jeopardy!" greats,
Amy Schneider.
James, Yogesh, and Victoria will be joining us
for the pulse-pounding, brain-busting finals
of "Jeopardy! Masters."
It's coming your way on Wednesday.
We'll see you then. Good night.
