Thank you, Johnny,

We know there are bragging rights on the line

$1 million awaits.
So, this is for real.
But we've got four fun-filled rounds of play ahead.
Welcome to Steven, Shane, and Melissa.
Good luck. Let's get into the Jeopardy! round.
We'll kick things off with one Daily Double
hidden somewhere in these categories.
We begin with...
These are songs with repeated words in the title.
Every response begins with the "R" sound,
and we would appreciate you responding in that spirit.
Steven: [ Laughs ] Melissa: Great. Great.
...according to the Social Security Administration.
...with that "P-O-P" in quotation marks.
Ken: Steven, where do we begin?
I'd like to buy a vowel, Ken.
Oh, we're fresh out. [ Laughter ]

You know, I'm feeling froggy, Ken.
Let's make it a true Daily Double.
That's what we like to hear. I know. I know.
Everything at stake.
Here's your clue in Historical Markers.
Who is Nixon?
No, I'm sorry.
Nixon didn't like this guy very much --

Let's close this out

Steven. What is Arrrrgentina?
There we go. That's how it's done.
[ Applause ]
You take back the pirate-talking medal, you move into the lead.
And with three categories down,
you've brought us to our first break.
We'll be right back with more "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
in just a moment or two.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Steven: Oh.
He was so ridiculous.
He was so ridiculous over here.
It was so ridiculous. So ridiculous.
Wow, wow.
It was so ridiculous. Oh, man.
That was hard.
It was harrrd.
Let's get to know our three players a little bit.
The first player Johnny announced, Melissa Fumero,
originally from Lyndhurst, New Jersey.
Welcome, Melissa.
How did you prepare
for being a "Celebrity Jeopardy!" contestant?
Uh, so, I thought it would be a good idea to download the app,
the Jeopardy! app and play.
Thanks for the plug.
Yeah.
And that's how I realized that this was a bad idea.
[ Laughter ]
The app, it seemed difficult when you played on your phone?
Yeah, and it's multiple choice.
[ Laughter ]
So, this is going exactly how I thought it would go.
You'll never play Park Place in Monopoly again,
but if things get tough, I will throw you
some multiple choices, Melissa. Great. Thank you.
I'll do what I can. Thank you for that.
Now, tell us about which charity you're playing for tonight.
Yes, I'm here for International Community Foundation,
supporting This Is About Humanity.
They raise awareness about separated and reunified families
and also help a lot of underserved communities
on both sides of the border.
That's great. I love that. Thank you for doing that.
[ Applause ]
Shane Battier, a two-time NBA champion
from Birmingham, Michigan.
Now, to prepare for the show, you didn't download the app,
but I understand you boned up on "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
I did. I did. You've seen this show?
I was on Hulu, and I downloaded a bunch of episodes on there,
and what struck me was how funny everyone is on the show.
And I'm a basketball player. I'm not a comedian.
So, I learn just -- just answer the questions.
Don't try to be a funny guy. Leave it to the professionals.
Do you have favorite funny people you watch last year?
You know, I love Coach Beard, you know, Brendan Hunt.
He's hilarious, you know, Second City alum.
And so, when he and Michael Cera went against each other,
you know, I think they were just trying to outdo them --
do each other in comedy.
But it was fun to watch.
Well, I feel like your pirate impression
rivaled Steven Weber,
who's probably played all the Great Pirates.
So, uh... I've played all the great pirates.
[ Laughter ]
Your talent did shine through.
Thank you.
Ken: Yeah. He prepared for this. It's not really fair.
Shane, tell us about your charity.
Yeah, well, Ken, you know, when I was 14 years old,
I was 6'8".
I could dunk a basketball. Alright?
So, I had an advantage most 14-year-olds didn't have.
And my journey through basketball
led me to so many opportunities in life,
took me around the globe, and, most importantly,
gave me educational opportunities
that I never would have had if I wasn't 6'8"
and could dunk a basketball.
And so, I was always keenly aware
there were kids like me who had the talent, the drive,
the discipline to do big things, didn't have the opportunity.
So, that's why my wife, Heidi, and I
started the Battier Take Charge Foundation,
to find kids in overlooked communities
who had the talent, the discipline, and the drive.
You know, shout out to all my Take Charge scholars.
They're changing the world.
So, over the last 10 years, we've given away over --
nearly $3 million in college scholarships.
Wow. That's great.
[ Cheers and applause ]
We're very passionate
about giving young people opportunity.
And so, that's why we're here today,
to try to send some more great kids to school.
Well, I'm sure your scholars are watching now,
and they're rooting you on. Well done.
Steven Weber, actor and writer,
originally from Queens, New York. Queens, New York.
Now, Shane watched "Celebrity Jeopardy!" to bone up for this. Sure.
But, Steven, you've been on "Celebrity Jeopardy!" before.
A long time ago.
Let's see how long ago.
What do you mean?
[ Chuckles ] No.
Alex: Steven. What is the mournful dove?
No. Ooh.
How interesting. No.
Sorry. Cheech or Alan? Oh, my gosh. Yeah, sorry.
The reason I'm so sorry, Steven,
is because you were very, very close.
What is the mourning dove?
[ Imitates dove coo ] Not mournful, yes.
[ Laughter ] That's it.
Oh. Wow. Yeah.
[ Applause ]
I-I still have all that hair. It's just redistributed.
[ Laughter ] I was gonna say, uh,
"Jeopardy!" has aged very well and so have you.
I thought you were gonna say, "But you haven't."
[ Laughter ]
What is you're a liar?
Are you going to make that sound if you --
for us tonight, if you get anything incorrect or...
Um, if it comes up, it's a lot more disgusting now,
30 years later, than it was when I was a young man.
You can do pirate. You can do pigeon.
You can do it all. Pirate and pigeon.
What charity are you playing for?
I'm playing for the SAG-AFTRA Foundation,
which is a non-profit organization.
It's been around almost 40 years.
And it helps performers, who are everyday working people,
when they are in urgent financial straits,
you might say.
There's an emergency assistance program, a disaster relief fund.
There's a -- We give aid to older performers,
and there's a whole host of resources.
And it's a -- it's a critical lifeline
for working performers in our industry.
And I've been a member of SAG since 1983,
since before that clip, yeah, a long time.
So, when there were actual pirates in the Guild,
and I just want to give back to my Guild.
They've done such good work.
It's an important time for that.
Well done.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Steven, you also gave us the last correct response.
So, you can go ahead and choose the next clue for us.
[ Sighs ] Thank you, Ken.

Melissa Fumero is gonna be selecting first

[ Applause ]
One of the best parts of hosting "Jeopardy!"
is people come up to me
and tell me their "Jeopardy!" stories
of their fond memories growing up with the show.
Melissa, did you watch the show when you were young?
I did. My parents always had it on every day in the background.
And anytime my cousin Betty was at our house,
she would just stand and shout the answers
to the TV -- at the TV.
Was she right?
Yeah. Oh, so she was good?
I'm shocked that she hasn't been on the show yet. Yeah.
She's good? She's legit?
She's really good. She's legit. You think she should play?
I'll give you guys her name after this.
That's right. We'll say that Melissa sent you.
So, you think she could still play today?
I think... Yeah. 100%.
That's good.
We'd love to take a referral.
Yeah, she'll definitely be better than me.
[ Laughs ] You're doing great. You're gonna come back.
Eh. Shane, what about you?
Did you grow up watching "Jeopardy!" as well?
Oh, of course, at 7:30.
It was a mainstay at the Battier household,
and it was a family affair.
And we're all shouting out the answers.
If you can't tell, we're not afraid to be wrong.
Okay. That was the mainstay of the Battier family as well.
But my dad, in particular,
you know, got probably one out of five questions right.
Big Ed Battier.
And after the one he did get right, he would say,
"See, I can go on the show."
So, I'm dedicating my performance today to him.
Oh, that's lovely. Yeah.
People tend to not remember the ones they yelled out wrong...
Of course, of course. ...at the screen.
Here, of course, we have to take away money when you're wrong.
So, I don't know if I recommend
the Shane's dad strategy... [ Laughs ]
...but Shane's doing very well so far.
You've got his genes.
Steven Weber, you've been watching "Jeopardy!",
possibly even longer than Shane and Melissa.
I remember "Jeopardy!" from the old --
from the Art Fleming days.
Wow. When they would change the clues
with a kind of a cardboard handheld thing, you know,
and sometimes it would jostle and ruin the illusion
that it was all electronic and futuristic.
Yeah, people might not remember,
but each clue was a square of cardboard... That's right.
...and a human hand would pull it away
like it was a puppet show.
And he would say, "The answer is,"
and somebody would kind of grab it
and probably put down their cigarette
and... [ Laughter ]
...lift it out.
So, you grew up watching Art Fleming host "Jeopardy!"
Art Fleming, yeah, I was in front of the TV
in the '60s, early '60s,
and watched all of the game shows and the hosts
and, you know, Bill Cullen
and Wink Martindale and all the greats.
Do you think that is good preparation
for being here on "Celebrity Jeopardy!"?
No. [ Laughs ]
Because it's ancient history, and I've got to keep up.
You know, I'm an analog person in a digital world.
I've got to stay current.
Now, the first time you were on, you played one of the great
"Celebrity Jeopardy!" players of all time... Cheech Marin.
...Cheech Marin. He's a killer.
He's really good.
Yeah, and people -- You know, it's funny
that you never really know anybody.
He has a particular kind of persona from his comedy.
He's an art collector, and he's a brainy dude and a great guy.
Apparently, he has a different kind of idea
of what prepares you for being a good "Jeopardy!" player.
He has some medicinal suggestions
for -- for what makes a great "Jeopardy!" brain.
I wouldn't know. [ Laughter ]
Look, finishing runner-up to Cheech is no shame at all.
But, Steven, you gave us the last correct response.
So, if you three want to pick up your signaling devices...
Okay. ...we can finish this round.
Three categories left, Steven. Which one you like?
