Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:
After a couple of weeks off for Good Friday and the Artemis II splashdown, Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars returns with a matchup between Mina Kimes, Andy Richter, and Timothy Simons. Certainly, Andy Richter comes in as the favorite; most fans see Andy as one of the top Celebrity players ever, especially after the famed comprehensive demolishing of Wolf Blitzer back in September 2009. That being said, no player is ever truly unbeatable in this game; Andy was upset in the series premiere of prime-time Celebrity play back three years ago by Simu Liu. Mina and Timothy are both more than capable of taking victory if things fall their way this evening.
