and you want to see how you three represent at Masters.
Is that right?
That's true. We're here for the first time.

and it's interesting to be part of this field.

against all those great players?
It's the buzzer finger.
I've got to get my buzzer finger better,
so I've been playing some video games.

It's been a lot of "Rock Band."
- "Rock Band"? - Yeah.
I guess it's good. It's for the rhythm, right?
- Yeah. - Good rhythm.
I'm afraid it might have been my left hand
that mastered the video game,
and I'm buzzing with my right hand.
But we'll see how the rest of this game goes.
Well, welcome back, Adriana.
Your co-competitor in the TOC finals, Isaac Hirsch.
Does it feel like old home week to be back with these two?
Yeah, a little bit. For sure.
I mean, you know, I think the great thing
is that now we're all nervous
and we're all maybe underdogs in "Masters,"
so we have that shared communal experience
and that's kind of nice.
Well, you're off to a great start either way.
Now both of you finished as runners-up to Neilesh Vinjamuri.
What do you have to prove as a reigning TOC champion
coming to "Jeopardy! Masters," Neilesh?
Yeah, well, first of all, it's just an absolute honor
to be on the "Jeopardy! Masters" stage.
You know, I am going up against people I'm familiar with,
and I have a lot of pressure to beat them again.
So for me,
it's about, you know, proving that what I did before
can be consistent.
Well, you're locked in a close game right now with Isaac,
but Adriana will be selecting first
in the Double Jeopardy! round.
Pick up your signaling devices.

Roger.
What are civil unions?
Ahh, it came to you at the last minute. Yes.
Yogesh has been cruising in that round,
but Isaac made it back to zero,
and Roger will have a chance to do that in Double Jeopardy!
It's up next. But first, this break. Stay with us.
Welcome back. Let's get to know our masters.
Roger, this is your second game in "Masters."
In the second game of your original streak on "Jeopardy!,"
something kind of remarkable happened.
Do you remember that game well?
I remember it super vividly.
I broke your single-day record in that game.
I remember it vividly, too, Roger.
Still a little chapped about it.
No, that was a fantastic game.
What was your total in that game? Remind us.
- 77,000. - Wow.
If you want to do something very funny on "Jeopardy! Masters,"
you do have a chance at another record.
- I'm just saying. - [ Chuckles ] Okay. Yeah.
So at this point, you want to come racing back
in Double Jeopardy!, and that's great.
- I want to see that for you, too. - Yes. Yeah.
- I think everyone wants to see that. - America is united.
Minus two people,
one of whom is Isaac Hirsh from Burbank.
You came into this tournament, you told me,
with very low expectations for yourself, Isaac.
- Why? - Well, this is more what I envisioned,
this last Jeopardy! round when I got the call.
I don't know, the analogy I always used was, like,
being, like, a really good Division III basketball team
and getting invited to play in the NBA all of a sudden.
Like, you might be good in Division III,
but you're probably not going to win a game against NBA players.
So that's sort of how I've thought of this.
I've said I'm here for a good time, not a long time,
but maybe it can be both. Who know?
If this cheers you up at all,
I believe you have the longest regular season winning streak
of anyone on this stage.
Yogesh had three games. Roger, I think six.
You're a nine-game winner, Isaac.
Yeah, can I trade that in for some points or something?
[ Laughter ] At this point, no, but when the round starts,
- I think we're going to see that zero go away. - Okay.
Don't worry.
Yogesh Raut in the lead right now from Springfield, Illinois.
Did you know Isaac or Roger before this game?
I did, I knew both of them.
I think Isaac and I both played quiz bowl on the East Coast
when I was in grad school at NYU.
Roger lived in New York at the same time as me.
After I outscored him on the World Quizzing Championship,
he came and recruited me to play pub trivia.
Oh. So you guys have been teammates?
Yes, along with Dave Madden, another "Jeopardy!" legend.
Oh, wow. That's a power trio right there.
Alright, Roger, you're going to select first
in the Double Jeopardy! round.
Pick up your buzzers,
and we'll take a look at your new categories.
From left to right they are...

[ Applause ]
Every match point matters, Roger,
so you're thinking about first, second and third at this point.
What do you want to risk?
- 1,600. - Okay.
You'd be tied with Isaac in second place
if you're right in Hymns & Spirituals.
- Roger? - What is...
[ Beep ] Oh, you ran out of time.
"Onward, Christian Soldiers" is that hymn.
Down to 1,200. Select again.
Science, 800.
Roger.
What are particles?
- Correct. - Science, 400.

What is "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore"?
No, I'm sorry.

Yogesh. What is lily-livered?

Yes! You guys are saved.
And here's your final clue in What Day Is It?
- Yogesh. - Who is Ice Cube?
Co-written by Cube. Yes. 25,700 for you.
Isaac and Roger, think about those scores,
because there's match points for second place as well.
Here's your category and Final Jeopardy!, players --
Art History.
We're going to pause for a moment,
but we will be right back with the clue.
Don't go anywhere.
We're dealing with Art History in Final Jeopardy! now.
Here's the clue.
30 seconds, players. Good luck.
Roger Craig is up first with 2,800 points in front of him.
What did you come up with, Roger?
He wrote, "Who is Morisot"?
Yes. This was the first Impressionist exhibition.
These are all works of mothers and children.
How much did you wager?
Almost everything. Everything but a dollar.
So you're now in second place with 5,599.
Isaac Hirsch was in second place with 4,400.
Did he know it was Berthe Morisot?
Ah, another woman artist, but not a French one.
He put Cassatt, and that's not correct.
What did you wager, Isaac?
1,201 knocks you down to 3,199.
Yogesh Raut was not going to be caught today with that 25,700.
Will he be adding to it? Did he think of Morisot?
Ah, he had Cassatt as well. [ Indistinct ]
What did you wager, Yogesh?
10,000. Knocks you down to 15,700.
But what matters is that you take home three match points
as the winner of that "Jeopardy! Masters" game.
Congratulations.
Let's take a look at the leaderboard.
Now, we know the three players in tonight's game
will be advancing to the quarterfinals.
What we're going to find out next week
is which three of our other players will be joining them,
and which three will be headed home.
We'll see you then. Good night.
