Warning: This page may contain spoilers for the February 2, 2023 game of Celebrity Jeopardy!, especially for those of you in the Pacific time zone—please do not scroll down if you wish to avoid being spoiled.

Today’s Celebrity Jeopardy! contestants:

Ike Barinholtz, an actor from “The Mindy Project” and “The Afterparty”, playing for Pacific Clinics

Ike Barinholtz on Jeopardy!


Ike’s quarterfinal: October 9, 2022
Ike’s semifinal: October 16, 2022

Patton Oswalt, an actor from The King of Queens and a comedian, playing for Alice’s Kids

Patton Oswalt on Jeopardy!


Patton’s quarterfinal: January 12, 2023
Patton’s semifinal: January 26, 2023

Wil Wheaton, an actor from “Stand by Me” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation”, playing for the National Women’s Law Center

Wil Wheaton on Jeopardy!


Wil’s quarterfinal: October 30, 2022
Wil’s semifinal: November 13, 2022

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

The Jeopardy! Fan’s prediction model, taking into account each player’s quarterfinal and semifinal, has given the following predicted chances of winning for each player:

Ike Barinholtz: 39.319%
Wil Wheaton: 23.855%
Patton Oswalt: 36.826%

Today’s game will come down to the Daily Doubles (and potentially Final Jeopardy). With six Daily Doubles in play, absolutely anything can happen. The numbers do show that Ike probably has the best overall knowledge base of the three players tonight, but as was demonstrated in Patton’s semifinal, that can only go so far if another player gets to the Daily Doubles. I’m expecting to see an exciting game that comes down to the very last question tonight, and I hope I’m not disappointed.

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.
