Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:
This week’s Celebrity Jeopardy quarterfinal will be between Dulé Hill (The Wonder Years and The West Wing), Sheryl Underwood (The Talk), and Peter Facinelli (the Twilight saga). If the production codes are any indication, today’s winner will be going up against Steven Weber and Katie Nolan in a semifinal.
This is one of those interesting games where I don’t really know much about the “trivia chops” of any of the three players. I could see absolutely anything happening—this match could be great, it could be an absolute dud, or it could be somewhere in between! (I’m glad I’m not trying to predict this one, that’s for sure!)

I think that the listing of one unplayed clue in the Triple Jeopardy stats is a typo.
Other things look like they check out, particularly:
Combined Coryat (18100) + Lach Trash (18100) + lost Coryat (17800) + value unplayed (0) = 54000
Players’ combined correct responses (62) + Triple Stumpers (24) + missed Daily Doubles (4) = 90
I thought I’d fixed everything. Thank you.
I was so struck to hear that none of the celebrities rang in for composers’ playlist though Sheryl struggled, but I knew that one already
I most know Peter Facinelli from ‘Nurse Jackie’ and had no idea he was in any of the ‘Twilight’ movies. However, by name before seeing the person, I usually get him mixed up with Peter Petrelli which was a character in ‘Heroes’ 🙃 [played by Milo Ventimiglia, but when it has been a while I think of that character name as though it had been the actor since not having yet seen ‘Gilmore Girls’ by then I was not as familiar with M.V. as I became watching ‘This is Us’].
I thought [as I was watching this episode of Celebrity Jeopardy!, not just on reflection] the first half was boring, but it improved somewhat after that.
