But there is much more "Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars"
on tap, so stay tuned.
Ooh! Patton.
Your button is deadly! Whoo! Patton.
Deadly! Sorry.
It's digital madness.
Legendary comedian and actress Margaret Cho is with us.
Originally from San Francisco, California.
You were very impressive last time on the Alex Trebek Stage.
I remember the big wagers.
You wagered over $18,000 once on a single clue.
Yes, yes.
What was that all about, Margaret?
Well, you know, I-I-I won one, and then I didn't win one.
And then I lost everything.
So pride goeth before the fall.
But now it's something that I've become known for,
like letting it all. -Mm-hmm.
So I-I appreciate that, as well.
Tell us about the charity you're playing for, Margaret.
I'm playing for Friendly House.
I'm so proud to play for them again.
They're a wonderful organization.
They help women who are experiencing addiction,
and from whatever financial background.
You know, there's a lot of people
who can't afford treatment,
so we take care of that for them. Right.
And so I got to win a lot of money for them
with -- with my Daily Doubling last time.
And so I'm so grateful that they let me do it again.
Let's win them some more money. Yes.
Thank you, Margaret. Thank you.
Congratulations on your success
and thank you for being back.
Thank you.
Patton Oswalt, an actor and comedian... Yes.
...originally from Sterling, Virginia... Mm-hmm.
...it turns out, and a very distinguished... Yeah.
..."Celebrity Jeopardy!" player, as well.
You were a finalist back in Season 1.
I was a finalist in Season 1.
With the bad luck of going up against?
Ike...
Barinholtz.
[ Laughter ]
Hang on.
I'm doing some breathing exercises back and forth.
Okay. I'm back. Hi.
What's it like to be back?
Ike's not here this game.
No. He's not.
No. It's -- It's great being back.
This is a really fun game to play.
I've been a "Jeopardy!" nerd for a long time,
so any -- any chance to come back here and play
is -- is fine for me.
I love it. Love it.
Think -- Think back to your first run.
Is there anything you're extra proud of?
What are the good memories that don't have Ike in them?
You know what? Pre-Ike -- On a pre-Ike show --
my whole life is pre- and post-Ike Barinholtz --
I swept the Gloomy Authors category.
Gloomy Authors. Gloomy Authors.
Leopardi, Zurita, Lovecraft,
Dahl, and Beckett.
I-I got all five of them. Mwah!
Is this really your vibe?
Did you know you were a gloomy authors guy?
When I saw the category Gloomy Authors, I was like,
"I think this is gonna be my comfort zone," 'cause that's --
Yeah, that's my whole thing. I'm just --
I'm always down those rabbit holes.
What charity are you playing for tonight, Patton?
I am playing for an amazing charity called Alice's Kids.
And what they do is provide money and experiences
for underprivileged kids in middle and high school.
And more importantly, they go --
They make sure to do it anonymously.
There's a lot of poverty shaming in this country. Yeah.
And so they're going out of their way not only
to give these kids an experience,
but to let them experience a childhood,
which I think is so beautiful, what they do.
What a wonderful organization. Yeah.
Thank you, Patton. Thank you. Yeah.
[ Applause ]
And Robin Thede. Another actor-comedian.
Three actor-comedians. Wow. Yes. We did it.
I don't know what's gonna happen
with three comedians on this stage.
This could be trouble.
You are originally from Davenport, Iowa.
I'm learning fun facts about everyone. Yep.
And another "Celebrity Jeopardy!" finalist. Yay!
You were very successful in Season 3.
Is there any particular moment of last season's
"Celebrity Jeopardy!" that stands out to you?
You know, it was a season of highs and lows.
My first quarterfinal round, I answered --
I don't know -- three dozen questions
without any incorrect answers. Yes.
No incorrect responses in the whole game. Yeah. Yeah.
So I was really proud of that.
And then I got all the way to the finals
and, uh, wi-- had the most money and everything,
and then Kamau Bell beat me... -Mm.
-...on that last question.
It was a question about the "Newhart" final. Mm.
And the answer was Bob Newhart.
And I had a total moment and wrote "Norman Lear,"
and we'll never live that down,
'cause my dad is a massive Bob Newhart fan.
So, yeah, he, uh -- He let me know that wasn't great.
[ Laughter ]
There's no shame in losing to Kamau,
who knew his comedy history, as well. That's true.
And he is -- He is a very good encyclopedia of comedy.
So I shouldn't feel bad.
And you now have a second chance at the Alex Trebek Stage.
That's right. So welcome back.
Thank you. And good luck.
What charity are you playing for?
So this time, I'm playing for Black Girls Code,
which is an amazing organization that helps young women,
college-aged and young professional women of color,
uh, with community, fellowships, scholarships in coding,
A.I., all sorts of STEM occupations.
So in kind of a homogenous, male-dominated field,
I'm excited to support their program. Right.
I love that. Let's win these great organizations
some money. [ Applause ]
Pick up your signaling devices, you three.
Margaret Cho, you gave us the last correct response.
I'd like to stick with Gallivanting around Europe
for $500, please.
Let's finish it off with this.
"If you're in this Czech capital,
whether or not it's around Christmas,

Yes. Okay.
I'd like On Camera for $100, please.
Margaret.
What is the couple that was cheating,
but they actually weren't cheating
because it was a guy and, like, a CEO, or not the CEO,
but it wasn't his wife. It was actually some other lady?
No, I'm sorry.
Robin.
What is the kiss cam?
Yes.
[ Laughter ]
Ha ha!
Oh, my God.
That is the first-ever essay question...
That was... ...on -- on "Jeopardy!" I think.
To be fair, I still think she's right, but, you know.
That was a journey.

She likes the category On Camera.
Good luck. Here's your clue.
What is skateboarding?
Oh, very close, but it's surfing, I'm afraid. Ah!

I'm like, "WNBA is the only category I really knew."
[ Laughs ] I'm like, "Ahh!" Yeah.
Time now for Double Jeopardy!
We've doubled the amount of cash on the board
and there are two Daily Doubles.
They're hidden somewhere in these categories.
First you get...

but we will be right back.
"Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars" will continue.
[ Applause ]
♪♪
Margaret, all three of you are playing so well.
I mean, Patton's buzzer kung fu is pretty good,
but you're all shooting the lights out.
It's a formidable panel of players.
Everybody is so good!
How do you feel about playing against these two?
I feel like I'm underwater,
but I'm trying to stay afloat. Robin: No. No!
And we still have Triple Jeopardy! to come. That's right.
There's so much cash on the board after this. So many things.
So this could still go any which way. That's right.
You came here directly from the road, right?
Yes. Because you have this roving tour.
"Choligarchy"? Is that it? "Choligarchy."
That's so good. Thank you.
Tell me about your project.
Thank you. I'm touring.
I'm talking all about politics
and how we need to take our country back.
And so I feel like this is a really important time to do it.
I think comedy got us into this,
so comedy will get us out of this.
So I'm going for it.
You're taking on the responsibility.
I am. I am.
You also have a box set coming out.
Yes. It's out. It's called "Best in Cho."
It's about 40 years of stand-up comedy.
So it's all of... It can't be 40 years.
Yes, yes. Wow.
It's all of my comedy and all of my specials and everything.
It's really incredible to have this body of work.
So, I feel like, I don't know, who has box sets?
Like, Tchaikovsky, Wagner.
I feel like Wagner, you know?
It's giving Chopin.
Yeah, like, it's really giving Mozart.
And they didn't have a funny pun like "Best in Cho."
No! I mean, you're kicking Chopin's butt.
Well, he could have had "Best in Chopin."
Like, you know? [ Laughter ]
He didn't think of it.
Or maybe it doesn't work in Polish.
I'm not sure. Maybe. Yeah.
Well, you're doing great. Thank you.
Speaking of the competition here... Mm.
Patton, I understand you still get recognized
not just from your amazing body of work,
but specifically from "Celebrity Jeopardy!"
I get recognized all the time
for losing to Ike Barinholtz.
[ Laughter ]
People love to remind me
that I lost to Ike Barinholtz
by $1.
They're not being mean about it.
They're like, "Oh, man, you and Ike Barinholtz,
and it came down to a dollar!
Like, do you still think about that?"
I'm just like, absolutely not, no,
and I'm really happy that he's doing great
and I'm seeing him on TV all the time,
being nominated for Emmys
and just being ubiquitous,
and everywhere I turn, there's Ike!
Yeah, I'm just always so happy to see that, so...
Is there any chance that Ike is, like,
paying these people to come up and traumatize you
by reminding you of your game?
I gotta say, knowing what I know of Ike,
if I found out later that is what he was doing,
that would not surprise me.
He is playing a long game on a lot of levels.
Maybe he sees me as competition in 10 years,
so start eating away at my spirit now.
I'm leaving. I got to go find Ike.
[ Laughter ]
I'm sure he's not doing that.
All right. Okay. I very much doubt it.
Just like Margaret, you're short on sleep
because you're also here from the road.
Flew in from Detroit this morning.
I've been awake since 4 a.m.!
Tell us about what you're doing comedy-wise.
Once you wake up.
[ Laughter ]
I'm doing -- I'm also doing a lot of touring,
and I currently have a new album out on Audible
called "Black Coffee and Ice Water,"
and it's an actual album.
I didn't film it as a special. I recorded an album.
Margaret: Nice. I wanted to have an album,
classic album, and I'll be...
The vinyl will be coming out soon.
On vinyl, no less! Yes.
But you can go to Audible.com right now and download it.
It's getting great reviews
and it's a whole new hour of material
and I'm really, really happy with it.
Very cool. Congratulations. Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you!
Continuing our comedy battle.
Yes. Robin Thede.
Like, what happened to your comedy career
after your "Celebrity Jeopardy!" experience?
You know, it's interesting.
I got a ton of new social media followers
who said, "Hey, you were great on 'Jeopardy!'
Let's see if you're funny."
I got to say, usually those two things do not correlate.
No! And I try to be very serious
and warrior-like on "Jeopardy!"
But, yeah, it did bring in a whole new trough of fans,
and even some family members that hadn't been speaking to me.
So, yeah, it's been great.
So, you won enough money that people were like,
"Hey, let's call Robin." Right!
And I was like, "It's for charity."
And then they said, "Lose my number again."
So, yeah. What about your projects?
What are you working on now? So many things.
I have a movie on Amazon Prime Video
right now with Kelly Rowland and Method Man from Wu-Tang,
called "Relationship Goals," that I'm starring in with them,
which is really a fun rom-com, great date-night sort of movie.
Congratulations. Thank you.
And I'm also producing an Off-Broadway musical
with the amazing comedian Amber Ruffin,
who wrote "Bigfoot! The Musical."
And it has an exclamation point, just like "Jeopardy!"
Of course. Yeah.
All the best musicals do. It's really great.
It's really fun. It's super silly.
If you know anything about Amber's comedy or mine,
you will enjoy this show.
Does Bigfoot sing, or are these characters...?
Absolutely! I don't want to spoil anything.
Yes, Bigfoot is singing his face off!
'Cause I don't want to go to some "Waiting for Godot"...
No, no, no, no!
Bigfoot never shows.
I want to see Bigfoot in action. No, no.
You'll see Bigfoot in act one, right away.
It's super fun, and I think it's a great musical
for the family, for a date, for anyone.
Love it. Yeah.
Patton, you have control of the board right now.
Oh! What'll it be?
Let's finish out An "A" in History
for $1,000, please.

I will do $4,500, please.
Okay, that's still a big wager, Patton.

I froze up. I froze up!
I didn't do a full Margaret.

Welcome back to "Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars."
Only one of these three great comedians can advance.
The Final Jeopardy! category tonight is American Names.
Let's show them the clue.
30 seconds, All-Stars. Good luck.
♪♪
We'll begin with Margaret Cho.
Got that true Daily Double under her belt, has $11,000.
What response did she write down?
Who is Johnny Appleseed?
Yes, planting apple trees all over the frontier.
How much will you add, Margaret?
You wagered, ooh, all $11,000.
Big bet again, taking you to $22,000.
[ Applause ]
Robin Thede was in second place with $17,700.
Did she have Johnny Appleseed on her mind?
She's right. Did she bet big, as well?
She sure did.
She doubles up to $35,400.
You're now in first place, Robin.
You have backed Patton Oswalt up against the wall.
He needs to get this right.
Patton, do you have Johnny Appleseed?
He got it. Did he risk enough?
Another big wager.
$15,000 takes him to $47,800.
And Patton Oswalt,
you are a "Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars" semifinalist.
What a great game, all three of you.
Semifinalist.
Robin and Margaret, $30,000 will go to each of your charities.
Thank you for being here tonight.
Patton, well played. Thank you.
We will see you in the semis.
And we will see you back on the Alex Trebek Stage
next time on "Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars."
Good night.
[ Applause ]
Patton, you wind up with $47,800.
That is the highest score we have seen so far in this season.
That's an impressive total. Alright. I'll take it.
You had a great game, sir. Thank you.
There's no two ways about it,
but these two were really pushing it.
They found Daily Doubles in the third round.
They found Daily Doubles and went for it.
They went for it. Yeah.
It was -- It was amazing.
Robin, you were considering going for the true Daily Double
in A Colorful Category. Yeah.
Yeah. Should have done it. "Color Purple."
I mean, it's easy now that you've seen it. Yeah, it's easy now.
That's what I was saying.
In hindsight, it's always like, "Oh, I should have done it."
But I still did a bigger wager
than I was probably comfortable with.
Robin, I'm not your therapist.
You don't have to defend yourself to me. You're not?
You played great. What a fantastic game.
And you, as well, Margaret.
I mean, you got burned on that one Daily Double.
And rarely do we see players go back.
But you were going to do it again.
Yes, I did. I mean, I have to --
I'm a glutton for punishment, really.
That's the only way that I can really get ahead,
especially if you're playing with somebody like Patton.
So, you know, you got to like, okay, well,
if I don't have the skill,
maybe I have the balls.
Maybe.
Well, this must be something about being a comedian that,
like, under pressure on a stage, like, you can spit back, right?
It's just your training, I guess.
Yeah. Exactly.
Or psychosis. Yeah.
Ken: Yeah.
Oh, and also my hatred for Ike Barinholtz.
Really feel hate.
Robin: I'm excited for the do-over.
Coming for you, Ike. Yeah.
I'm coming for you.
Do you feel like you could take Ike given a second chance?
His buzzer technique is otherworldly.
He has weird sorcerous powers with the buzzer,
and then he also has that horrifically smart brain.
So, um, I just got to --
I just got to -- I got to get a ballpoint pen
and just start clicking.
You'll see -- Thumb working overtime.
I'll be -- I will be in Fryman Canyon
tomorrow morning at dawn,
running with my pen, just clicking, man.
With the "Rocky" music playing.
You're still alive in "Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars."
Thank you. We'll see you in the semis.
Thank you. Congratulations.
