You know what? We have already seen some incredible competition
in these games.
And tonight, it's Dulé, Sheryl, and Peter's turn
to show off their skills here on the Alex Trebek Stage.
Before we begin, here's a quick reminder of what will unfold.
We're going to have three rounds tonight
before we get to Final Jeopardy! --
The Jeopardy! round, Double Jeopardy!
and Triple Jeopardy!
My friends, do not try this at home.
Three Daily Doubles hidden in that round alone.
Good luck, players. Let's find out which of you
will be advancing to the semifinals, shall we?
We begin with the Jeopardy! round.
And these categories.
Personal favorite of mine.
Each of these responses will begin with the letter G
and end with I.
Ken: Dulé, start us off.

For how much?
For $300. Why not?

Nicely done.
Let's stick with Iconic Man-Perms.
Let's go $500.
Wow. Go crazy. Okay.
Mm. I know that.
[ Beep ] That was called "American Hustle."
Back to you, Sheryl.

What is the 18th? No, sorry.
Peter. What is the 21st Amendment?
Dulé: Oh, my gosh.
Ken: Yeah, I think Dulé was drinking a little bit early.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, no.
We learned a little too much about your youth there, Dulé.
I was thinking about what I was doing,
not what the legal thing was. Okay. Got it.
[ Laughter ]
I got that by default, but I'll take it.
Constitutional Matters for $200.
Peter. What is Washington, D.C.?
Sorry. No. Dulé.
What is Philadelphia?
Cheesesteak. You got it.
Constitutional Matters for $300.
Dulé. What is president?
That's correct. You've got some TV background
helping you out here. We know.
You know he was on "West Wing." Stop playing, boy.
Right there. [ Laughter ]
Constitutional Matters for $400.
This founding father didn't throw away his shot
to be the only Constitution signer from New York.
Peter. Who is Hamilton?
Hamilton is correct, yeah, bringing you to $600.
Man, that's the only one I knew.
All three of you are off to a great start.
Don't you worry.
We're going to take a quick break
and you can relax.
We'll come back and play more "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
right after this.
18?! 18?!
If he wasn't good in Constitutional Matters...
Let's chat with our players.
Peter Facinelli, originally from Queens,
is an actor and a writer and director.
What's it like to be offered "Celebrity Jeopardy!"?
Did you prepare for this?
You know, I probably should have prepared more.
I realized going into this, I was like,
"Oh, I probably could use another week."
What did you do? What were your --
What was your training? Nothing.
Oh, I see. Thought I would --
I thought, "Oh, I've seen that show. I could do that."
And then I got here today and I'm in jeopardy right now.
Very much in jeopardy. I also have ADD,
so that kind of like -- When you go to the restaurant
and they tell you the specials and their mouth's moving
and I don't hear one word they're saying, that's me.
So...
Well, this is a restaurant where we put the menu up there
so you can -- you can read along.
It's one of the places that has the chalkboard.
Are you talking right now? Blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, that's all. Just his mouth moving.
Charlie Brown teacher.
Tell us about your charity, Peter.
Who are you playing for today?
Playing for the American Red Cross.
You know, with all the fires
that are happening across the world,
I thought this would be money well spent.
And really timely right now.
[ Applause ]
A lot of urgent need. I support that.
Sheryl Underwood, a stand-up comedian from Studio City.
A single stand-up comedian, you announced.
So our phone lines are open.
Thank you.
Now, you have a theory about
how you got invited to be on "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
Yes, I think this is a mistake.
I think you either wanted Sherri Shepherd
or Carrie Underwood. [ Laughter ]
Something is wrong here.
Do you often get confused with Carrie Underwood?
All the time. Yeah.
Tell us who you're playing for.
I'm playing for Pack Rat Foundation for Education.
It is a charity that helps students advance
to higher education.
That's wonderful. I love it.
Dulé Hill joins us.
You're an actor and a tap dancer.
You might be the first of your kind on "Jeopardy!"
So actor and tap dancer.
So far, you're doing great.
You know, well, I hope I will keep that up
and keep the tap dancers proud.
[ Laughter ]
You have been a clue on "Jeopardy!"
in the past, I believe.
It mentioned your acting. It also mentioned --
One of the clues mentioned your tap dancing.
Did you see those shows?
I did not see those shows, but I'd heard about them.
And it was pretty -- I was pretty honored to have been,
I guess, a clue on the show
and also the fact that they got it right.
That felt good.
What you don't want is to be mentioned
and have everybody just kind of stare.
Like, "Huh? Who? What?
Bring in the what? Bring in the noise?
What are you talking about?"
[ Laughter ]
I got to say, Dulé, that's not a great memory for me
because I was a contestant on the show
that asked about your Broadway career,
and I did not get it right. Somebody beat me to it.
See, I knew I didn't like you, Ken. I knew it.
No, I mean, the way I see it, you owe me 800 bucks, Dulé.
[ Laughter ]
Dulé, tell us about your charity.
I'm playing for an organization called All Rise.
I'm a big fan of justice reform.
And All Rise, they advocate for rehabilitation
instead of incarceration.
And they do it through the treatment courts.
They do it through drug treatment courts,
mental health treatment courts, and veterans treatment courts.
You know, if one rises, then we all rise.
That's their motto. That's fantastic.
I bet you get a lot better outcomes.
That's great.
All right, all three of you can pick up your signaling devices.
Peter, go ahead and make the next selection.
Let's go Marriage Story for $100.
Hmm.
[ Beep ]
His last name is Perón.
That's Eva Perón of "Evita" fame.
That's how these are going to work.
Peter, back to you.
Constitutional Matters for $500.
Finish it off.
I don't want to say.
[ Beep ]
Sheryl, I think you were going to go.
It's still the smallest today. Rhode Island.
Oh, man. And I knew it.
I would have got it wrong. I should have said it.
You know what? I was better on the couch.
[ Laughter ]
A lot easier at home, right?
Peter, back to you. Oh, I kill it on the couch.
I win everything on the couch.
Can y'all just drag a couch up here and let me sit down?
[ Laughter ]
Back to you, Peter.
Let's go G-I Tract for $200.
Peter. What is "Gigli"?
You saw it, I guess. Nicely done.
I was going to say one of my movies, but...
[ Laughter ]
That doesn't end in GI, though.
[ Laughter ]
G-I Tract for $300.
A fitting name,
this desert is Mongolian for "waterless place."
Peter. What is the Gobi Desert?
Starts with G, ends with I. Yeah.
-Wow. -Let's go G-I Tract for $400.
Sheryl.
What is gnocchi? That is correct.
Gnocchi. You just beat Peter to Italian food.
I know. How does that feel?
I was thinking goulash-i, but...
Mangia, baby, mangia.
I'm embarrassed right now. Embarrassed.
My mom -- Sorry, Mom. I'm so sorry. So sorry.
Let's go with the G-I Tract for $500.
This tight end recently retired
with four Super Bowl rings.
It helps when you play with Tom Brady.
Oh, my goodness.
Sheryl. Who is Rob Gronkowski?
I can't say his name. Gronkowski.
That's correct. Gronkowski. You got it.
I want to quit while I'm ahead,
but let's go Marriage Story for $200.
Sheryl.
Who is Childs? Sorry. No.
Oh, I didn't say "Who is Childs"?
Dulé or Peter, can you take it? Dulé.
Who is Julia Childs?
Also incorrect, I'm afraid.
-Dang it! -Peter?
I know. You shouldn't have listened to me.
Who is Julia Child?
Child singular, yeah.
[ Both shout ]
Peter, you got it.
-That's all right. -Marriage Story for $300.
Dulé.
Who is Park?
No, I'm sorry. Parks. Dagnabbit!
-Oh, my God. -Peter.
Peter, this is you.
Who is Park-s?
Parks with an S, yes.
Now we needed the S, Dulé. I'm so sorry.
We are about to lose our Black card on "Jeopardy!"
I cannot believe this.
Ugh.
Let's go with names that don't end in S for $400.
[ Laughter ]
Marriage Story for $400.
Here we go. Marriage story for $400.
Dulé. Who is Rashad?
No S, yes. Phylicia Rashad.
Oh! [ Laughter ]
You threw me with that no.
I was like, "Man, don't do it to me, Ken."
Okay. You select now.
I'll take Marriage Story for $500.
Sheryl. Who is Canton?
I'm sorry. No.
Dulé or Peter?
[ Beep ]
That hurt me, Sheryl. You were so close.
Stanton. Stanton.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton. You choose, Dulé.
I will do Hail to the Chief for $100.
Hail to the Chef. Chef. My bad.
The website of this president's library
includes Ike's Cookbook,
a compilation of his favorite recipes.
Sheryl.
Who is Eisenhower? You're right.
Okay, let's go Hail to the Chef, $200.
This president's recipe for New England fish "chowdah"
calls for 2 pounds of haddock.
Dulé.
Who is Kennedy? Right.
Hail to the Chef for $300.
In 2009, Barack Obama was grillin' and chillin'
on the South Lawn with this celebrity chef.
I don't know who that is.
Sheryl. Who is Bobby Flay?
You got there. Yes.
Okay. Hail to the Chef, $400.
The answer there, you found the Daily Double.
[ Cheers and applause ]
You're in the lead, Sheryl.
You can wager any or all of that $2,100.
What'll it be?
$1,100?
$1,100 it is.
Here's your clue in Hail to the Chef.
What?
Say the -- Oh, at this Virginia estate?
Where is...
[ Beep ]
Sorry. Out of time.
Mount Vernon, the name of that is.
All you had to say was money earning,
and I would have said Mount Vernon.
[ Laughter ] Drops you down to $1,000.
Here's the last clue for you.
Sheryl's going to try it.
It's up to you.
Oh, Thomas Jeff-- Who is Thomas Jefferson?
That is correct, yes. You get $500 back.
You're in second place. I tried.
It's a close, close game at the end of the round.
We'll be right back with Double Jeopardy!
in just a moment.
Game board is all set for Double Jeopardy!
Our players look like they're all set.
Let's show you three what the new categories are.
We begin with...
We'll give you the events.
You tell us what year that ends with zero

Followed by...
We'll need the name of a city.

Um, I know this.
Who -- What is "Steel Magnolias?"
Or -- No, I'm sorry.
No. What is "The Deer Hunter"?
Yes.
There's a lot less Russian roulette in "Steel Magnolias."
That's -- That's how I tell them apart.
The steel threw me off. The steel threw me off.

But you didn't lose much. That was a smart bet.
Select again.

We're going to take another quick break.
You can all relax for a moment.
We'll come right back with more "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
after these words.
Peter Facinelli, you seem very relaxed here on "Jeopardy!"
but I'm told you're very competitive outside.
Just in like thumb wars, you know?
Thumb wars. Is that your sport?
That's my sport. Thumb -- Thumb wrestling.
You do have a good thumb. Well, I'm so good at it
that I just keep locking myself out,
because every time I know the answer, I'm like,
"Oh, I know that one. I know that one."
And then I lock myself out. You're overdeveloped.
I'm overdeveloped with my thumb.
I always skip thumb day,
and it really -- really comes back.
I should try that. I should try that.
That's why you won "Jeopardy!" right?
Are you -- Yeah.
I mean, a lot of it is about the thumb and the reflexes.
Do you feel like you're competitive
at this show, like --
I mean, I-I don't --
I-I'm not very competitive with trivia
because, you know, remember the game
"Trivial Pursuit"? Yeah.
I was not very good at it. Like, I never had a --
won a wedge in the pies.
It's like checkers is more my speed.
Well, you're doing very well today.
Thank you. Right now you're in second place.
By default. I think a couple of them were by default.
Dulé and Sheryl have been helping you out a little bit.
Thank you, guys. Sheryl Underwood,
I understand you met Alex Trebek many times.
Yes, I did. I hosted the Daytime Emmy Awards
five times, and I got a chance to meet him backstage.
And he was very, very nice and very cordial.
And then I asked when could I come on the show.
And he just looked at me like, "Move along."
[ Laughter ]
That's like Alex during the interview portion.
He'll be like, "Good for you." Yes.
Okay, Dulé.
[ Laughter ]
That's exactly what he did.
Dulé: Oh, that's funny.
But I mean, that man had so many Daytime Emmys.
You must have been his favorite person.
You know, like --
I think I was, in my mind, yes.
Probably every time he saw you, he brought home a statuette.
Dulé Hill, every time I hear --
Between clues, sometimes I'll hear a little
nervous tapping over here,
and it's you actually doing some dancing behind the lectern.
Yeah.
How long have you been dancing?
I have been dancing pretty much all my life.
I started at the age of 3.
Wow. I'm 48 years old -- years old now.
I went to a dance school called Marie Wildey
School of Dance in East Orange, New Jersey,
with my family, my mom, my cousins, my brother.
And I've been dancing ever since.
Peter: Let's see it. I want to see it.
-Wow. -Here we go.
Yeah. No podium.
Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
That's the stuff.
Shave and a haircut. That's right.
All right, Dulé. My turn.
All right. All right.
Get him, Ken. Jump in, Ken.
I immediately break an ankle.
Peter, you gave us the last correct response.
Why don't you go ahead and choose a clue for us?
I'll go Peninsulas for $200.
Sheryl: Uh-oh.
Dulé. What is Asia?
No. Sorry. Damn it.
Sheryl and Peter?
I'm not even going to embarrass myself.
They're both in Europe. Back to you, Peter.

Oh, no, no, no. You gonna bet it all, Sheryl?
It's your favorite category.

Let's go $3,000.
For $3,000 even, here's your clue in Composer Playlists.
I'm about to blow this.
Oh, oh, oh.
Scott, ah, ah, ah.
I can't remember the rest of it.
[ Beep ] I'm afraid that's time.
It is Scott.
I didn't know you were on a first-name basis
with Scott Joplin. Yes.
Daggone it.
Drops you down to $2,900,
but you still have the lead, Sheryl.
I don't want to play no more.
[ Laughter ]
Okay, 20 minutes of tap dancing on ABC.

Okay, let's go Composer List for $800.
Nope. I have a thought,

But we got a close game.
We'll all go to Ireland together. How about that?
Okay. But when we come back,
Peter is going to select first in Triple Jeopardy!
Don't miss it.
It is anybody's game as we round the turn
and head into Triple Jeopardy!
Lots more cash available

[ Laughter ]
Yes, Sheryl.
I forgot what they said. What is a dog?
No, no!
[ Laughter ] I forgot what they said.
It's the rare 0 for 3 in Horse, Hog, or Dog.
Do I get to do -- Does it come back to me?
You got to have that short-term memory, too, Sheryl.
I know. I was like...
They are hogs, and Peter has control of the board.
