Today’s Celebrity Jeopardy! contestants:
Jackie Tohn, an actor & musician, playing for Kids in the Spotlight
|
Steven Weber, an actor & audiobook narrator, playing for New Directions for Veterans
|
Macaulay Culkin, an actor & musician, playing for Stand Up To Cancer
|
Pre-Game Stats:
Macaulay Culkin (43.5% to win):
38 correct, 3 incorrect
1/1 on rebound attempts (on 4 rebound opportunities)
44.05% in first on buzzer (37/84)
2/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $1,800)
1/1 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $16,300
Macaulay had a spirited battle against Rachel Dratch in probably the singular most-discussed Celebrity game of the entire series (potentially because of Becky Lynch’s struggles in third, but that’s neither here nor there). If Macaulay loses again, though, I’m sure Kieran will be right there to congratulate the winner.
Steven Weber (36.1% to win):
86 correct, 10 incorrect
6/6 on rebound attempts (on 20 rebound opportunities)
36.94% in first on buzzer (82/222)
5/6 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: $19,800)
1/3 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $15,967
Steven has been a part of the Celebrity Jeopardy! family since 1992 when he was starring in Wings, and his losses have been to Cheech Marin and Katie Nolan. He may be second-favorite in this one, but he’s absolutely capable of pulling out a victory in this game.
Jackie Tohn (20.4% to win):
23 correct, 2 incorrect
1/1 on rebound attempts (on 11 rebound opportunities)
11.90% in first on buzzer (20/168)
1/2 on Daily Doubles (Net Earned: -$200)
1/2 in Final Jeopardy
Average Coryat: $4,950
Jackie reached the semifinals of the 2025 event, following a shock upset win in Final Jeopardy over Neil deGrasse Tyson in the quarterfinals. Can lightning strike twice on the Alex Trebek Stage?
Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:
Our second quarterfinal of Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars features Macaulay Culkin, Steven Weber, and Jackie Tohn. I should point out, for anyone trying to follow the brackets, that the listings over at Futon Critic say that this was the third quarterfinal game taped, which would lead me to believe that this game’s winner will be in semifinal #2 along with next week’s winner (and presumably W. Kamau Bell.) The Unified Prediction Model has Mack as a slight favorite at this point (certainly, a strong game against Rachel Dratch will help with his numbers), but the six Daily Doubles provide for a lot of variance. I’m expecting some excellent gameplay tonight and I hope I’m not disappointed.
As the game airs tonight, I will be updating the page at each commercial break with a recap of that segment, as well as with stats up to that point of the game.

Well, if no one else is going to write anything here after three days, I’ll mention that I briefly considered whether maybe the St. Louis Arch (as a gateway to the West) might have first been proposed with an accompanying memorial with statues, but I quickly decided that Mt. Rushmore was more likely even though I’m pretty sure I’d never heard that before.
I did also kind of wonder if MAYBE it could be the Crazy Horse Memorial, but [correctly] guessed that it would not be considered “national”.
