Today’s Celebrity Jeopardy! contestants:
Melissa Rauch, an actor from “The Big Bang Theory” and “Night Court”, playing for Oscar’s Kids
Joel Kim Booster, an actor from “Fire Island” and a comedian, playing for Selah Neighborhood Homeless Coalition
Ray Romano, an actor from “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “The Irishman”, playing for Harvest Home
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Tonight on Celebrity Jeopardy!, one of Melissa Rauch, Joel Kim Booster, and Ray Romano will be joining John Michael Higgins and Wil Wheaton in next week’s semifinal. (In case you’re wondering about one of Melissa Rauch’s credits, a rebooted Night Court is coming to NBC later this season.)
Also, after last week’s game, I would like to make one thing abundantly clear: The fans who criticized Hasan Minhaj last week deserve every single last word of Hasan’s apology on Jimmy Fallon. Celebrity Jeopardy! has been exactly like this for the past 30 years, and Hasan’s performance was 100% not out of the ordinary. Jeopardy! “fans” are completely out of line here and need to learn how to react better.
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.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Fire Island; Big ____; Ready For My Nude Scene; Bernie & Bernadette; All About Alliterative Book Characters; Everybody Loves Rain, Man)
Joel got off to the best start, doing better on the high-valued clues, to take a small lead; Melissa Rauch struggled on the signaling device early. Coming out of the break, Joel continued his strong play, but took some ribbing from Ray on a very conservative Daily Double bet.

(Categories: Lost In Exploration; Books & Authors; Human Anatomy & Physiology; Sitcoms; Fun With Flags; Starts With 2 Vowels)
In a game where even Mayim commented that the players were “all business”, Joel continued his strong play at the bottom of the board, his second incorrect response of “Gotham” notwithstanding. Melissa missed the round’s first Daily Double, while the second got to wait until after the break. Ray found that one and fell back $1,500, while Joel continued his strong play.
