Oh, man. I could throw up right now.

Lisa Ann.

That is your digestive system, yes,
bringing you to $1,400 and the lead
as we hit our first commercial break.
You can all relax for a moment.
Utkarsh, you're relaxing already.
You guys are awesome.
We'll be back with the other half of the "Jeopardy!" round
in just a moment. "Celebrity Jeopardy!" continues.
Utkarsh: Oh, my gosh, you guys are so good.
Lisa Ann: You guys are so good.
I'm out of breath. [ Laughs ]
This is intense.
Lisa Ann Walter, an actor and stand-up comedian
originally from Washington, D.C.
Yes, sir. Just to remind folks,
Lisa Ann, in your first game,
you put away Brian Baumgartner and Tim Simons
in the last clue of Triple Jeopardy!
Crazy. And I can't believe it.
I thought for sure they would win.
You're the only one of these three with a runaway game.
Final Jeopardy was moot
because you had already put the other two away.
And nobody told me. You rats did not tell me.
I was sitting there doing math for a good five minutes.
That's not our job.
That's your math to figure out.
So you did not know in the moment.
You figured it out during the break?
Yes. That's correct.
And you realized, "Wait. I can't be caught."
I can't. And then I considered, like,
just betting it all.
And then I remembered that that's insane.
And I put down zero like a good girl
and won some money for my charity.
And here you are.
Remind us who you're playing for in "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
I am playing for the Entertainment Community Fund.
They are the people that help out
all of our industry communities.
SAG-AFTRA and WGA and IATSE, all the different unions.
If you need any money, they help with your bills.
They've got housing for people.
So whatever I can do to help them, I'm there.
[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you, Lisa Ann.
Mira Sorvino from Los Angeles,
but previously New York and New Jersey, I hear,
also an actress and a UN Goodwill Ambassador.
Now, you also had a very dramatic
Triple Jeopardy! in your game.
You were behind sportscaster Peter Schrager.
You needed a late Daily Double
and then the last two clues of the game to stay away from him.
And you got them all. I did.
Were you aware of the scores, or were you --
is that just too much to think about?
No I was aware of them. I mean, but I also knew
that the final round could change everything.
And I was very aware of what he had,
and I was planning on him betting everything. Right.
So I, you know -- I bet almost everything I had.
I was a little ahead of him. I bet almost everything.
We all knew it, so...
But you still made the right wager.
That's impressive "Jeopardy!" play.
Like, it's like I'm seeing professionals here.
I think we might have to have you play
against regular "Jeopardy!" players.
Or just super confused and nervous
and very painstaking about it.
Mira, what about your charity?
Remind us who you're playing for.
So I'm playing for
the United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund
for Victims of Trafficking in Persons.
And that's a long statement meaning, basically,
this money goes to help people who are modern-day slaves.
They are labor and sex trafficking victims.
There are 40 million-plus people
living in the world today in bondage.
Under -- About 70% of them are women and girls,
and 2 million of them are children
who are exploited sexually.
So I've met so many of these survivors.
This money goes directly to service organizations
around the globe, very carefully vetted, of people on the ground,
helping rescue these people,
helping give them back their lives,
helping giving them the tools
to reclaim their happiness and their joy and their future.
Thank you so much for using your voice to...
Thank you. ...to shine a spotlight on that important issue.
It's lovely to have you back. Thank you.
Utkarsh Ambudkar, originally from Baltimore.
Now, of all the players here we saw in our first round,
you made the biggest risks.
You bet $7,000 on a Daily Double. Mm-hmm.
And that was what helped you
put the game away in Triple Jeopardy!
Do you believe in taking big chances out here?
As I said, my wife doesn't let me gamble,
so I might as well do it here, have fun.
You're here for the cheap thrills you can't get in Vegas.
Yeah, exactly. I want to shout out real quick
my friends Alex and Lizzie.
They're having their first child right now.
Des is on the way, little baby boy.
So I love you guys.
And I'll see you right after this.
Well, let's hurry up and get out of this game
so you can get to the hospital.
Remind us who you're playing for, Utkarsh.
I'm playing for a SAG-AFTRA Foundation,
supporting the Emergency Financial Assistance
and Disaster Relief Fund.
And most actors, whether you may or may not know,
are working-class people.
We just kind of work check to check.
And when there's no business, things can get a little tight.
So hopefully we can make some money
and help some people take care of their families.
Keep people afloat in tough times.
Yes. I love it. Well done.
Well, you're all off to a great start.
Lisa Ann, you have a very narrow lead,
but you have control of the board.
Go ahead and pick a category and dollar amount for us.
Oh, goodness gracious. Let's close out

Okay. Oaths for $300, please.

Oaths for $400, please.
Answer there -- the Daily Double in the round.
Utkarsh: Get it.

What would you like to wager?
I'm going, uh, $500 there, Ken.
$500 at stake in Oaths. Here's your clue.

Back with more Double Jeopardy! in just a moment.
♪♪
Hey, we're gonna chat with our three champs one more time
because they're delightful.
Lisa Ann, we know you as an actress,
but you've done other things.
You've been a creative executive producer. Mm-hmm.
You've been a stand-up. Did you do that for a long time?
You did comedy for a long time? I did, I did.
I started as an actress, but when I moved to New York,
it was the height of the comedy boom,
and I figured if I was gonna get paid to be on stage,
it was gonna be as a stand-up,
and it took off pretty quickly.
I was headlining all over the country
within a couple years, and I made good money.
I did that for about 10 years before I got offered
to star in TV shows and came out here.
Congrats. Thanks.
Now, comedians have to think on their feet.
They got to be one step ahead of the audience. Yeah.
Is that good "Jeopardy!" preparation?
Absolutely, 'cause these people are hecklers.
I don't know if you know it,
but they've been shouting answers.
They're wrong.
It is. I mean, people don't think of this as comics,
but comics are really smart people in general.
We pull references from history
and from pop culture and from sports.
And most of us, even though we were the goofy kid,
the class clown, the person who got sent out
and got in trouble all the time,
it was 'cause we were so smart and we just had to -- That's right.
You were bored. ...we just had to talk.
You were bored in class, right?
That's exactly it. You were so far ahead of everyone.
Yeah, so I like to think I'm repping
the comedy community well.
Well, last year, Ike Barinholtz and Patton Oswalt did very well.
Patton's brilliant. So there's a great tradition
of smart stand-ups doing very well at "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
Well, thank you. I'd like to continue that.
Mira Sorvino -- not a stand-up comedian, as far as I know.
No. But you do have some pretty good "Jeopardy!" background.
You studied what in school?
East Asian languages and civilizations.
Really, it just means Chinese studies.
Does that mean you speak many languages? Do you speak Chinese?
I used to speak Mandarin Chinese quite fluently.
Now it's pretty rusty. I speak a pretty decent French
and a bad Spanish and a bad Italian.
Does that help on "Jeopardy!"? I noticed you kind of cranking
through the Latin names of body parts.
[ Laughs ] Maybe, 'cause manus --
I don't speak Latin, but there were a few clues,
like "Le Morte d'Arthur"
or the Great Wall of China in the other episode.
You know, there were a few things that were connected.
But I don't know. Everybody's got backgrounds...
Utkarsh: Yeah. "Le Morte d'Arthur." ...that help them.
Yeah. [ Speaks French ]
Yeah. See, you're being modest,
but I think the languages are really helping.
Well done. Yeah.
Utkarsh, your favorite "Jeopardy!" memory
is not a game that actually aired on TV, right?
How do you remember "Jeopardy!"?
I prepared hard for this game
by watching Rosie Perez's role in "White Men Can't Jump."
She was the first person who got a lot of us
on the "Jeopardy!" map who were like, "Whoa.
This looks like a fun game. We should do it."
You came in as a basketball fan,
and you left that movie as a "Jeopardy!" fan.
As a -- oh, a fan? I respected "Jeopardy!" I see.
Yes. And now obviously I'm an enthusiast. Here we are.
The "Jeopardy!" respecter is with us. I'm honored.
Are you hoping for some foods that start with "Q"?
That was Rosie's big category. Yeah. Quiche.
No, every time the doorbell rings, my wife loves it.
She reminds me of Rosie Perez, and she's always like,
"Get the do-ah. Billy, get the do-ah."
She does it way better. That's pretty good.
I appreciate it.
You have control of the board, Utkarsh.
Go ahead and make a choice for us.
Let's see if we can lose it all.
Different Songs, Same Titles for $800.
Lisa Ann.
[ Mouthing ]
What is, "Remember." Time's up, I'm afraid.
Utkarsh or Mira?
Utkarsh.

No, you should not have believed Lisa Ann. Lisa Ann!
Shouldn't have listened to me, man. [ Beep ]
Surrender. Both those -- That's it!
That's what I thought it was, but I was afraid.
I was afraid. Yeah.
'Cause I couldn't remember Elvis singing "Surrender."
I ruined it for everybody.
