Fun fact! Liz’s partner has quite a Jeopardy! pedigree of his own; he’s #ToC2014 champion Ben Ingram!

Results will go up on the main page late afternoon, with full stats early evening. They will be seen in the comments section at the bottom of the main page.

Joel Grey, of course, portrayed the Master of Ceremonies in both the stage and film versions of the Kander & Ebb musical Cabaret. He won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for that role, as well as the Tony for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical.

You can check out Louis Bayard’s review of his memoir, “Master of Ceremonies”, in the Washington Post, as I can’t do a summary of the review justice.
