Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
After three weeks of quarterfinals, the first of three semifinals air tonight in the million-dollar primetime Celebrity Jeopardy! tournament. Simu Liu started things off with a massive upset victory over Andy Richter, while both Iliza Shlesinger and Ike Barinholtz both dominated on the signaling device en route to victory in their respective quarterfinals. However, the significant difference between Barinholtz and Shlesinger is in the incorrect response statistics: Shlesinger picked up over a dozen in her quarterfinal, whereas Barinholtz picked up zero. If this holds, and Barinholtz cleans up on the rebounds, “The Mindy Project” star will likely find his way to the final in January. However, as Liu proved three Sundays ago, anything can happen up on that Alex Trebek stage, and all three players are certainly in with a shot at winning tonight!
PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they can, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Game On; Current Events; Pop Music; 7-Letter Words; Let’s Take A Walk; Autumn)
Ike and Simu dominated the signaling device over the opening 15 clues, with Ike jumping out to an early lead. Iliza seemed to really want to keep doing the Forrest Bounce, though; we’ll see how well it works for her. Coming out of the break, Ike found the Daily Double—and bet Simu’s score, much to Simu’s chagrin.

In Double Jeopardy, Simu and Iliza both started hunting for Daily Doubles—they found, and missed, one apiece. Ike still held the lead at commercial break #3. In the last half of the round, Ike had the best time of things, picking up another $4,200 and extending his advantage.

(Categories: Brain Surgeon’s Terminology; Johnny Gilbert Speaks The Movie Lines; Colorful Responses; Mascots; Historic History Of Yesterday: A Look Back; But We Repeat Ourselves)
Ike managed to miss all three Daily Doubles in this round, and Simu, ironically, kept himself in the game by making a fearful $400 bet on the final Daily Double, keeping him in contention. Scores going into Final were Ike at $20,300, Iliza at $11,300, and Simu at $10,000.
