Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:
Today is Quarterfinal #3 of Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars, between Sean Gunn (Kragin Obfonteri in the Marvel Cinematic Universe), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda from Sex and the City), and Roy Wood Jr. (host of CNN’s Have I Got News for You). Cynthia’s the favorite to take victory in this one after 32 correct responses in her initial appearance (a loss to Heather McMahan in the fall of 2023), though Sean Gunn was a very strong player as well (reaching the semifinals last year). Whoever wins this game will face Steven Weber and W. Kamau Bell in one of our three semifinals.
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.
