Andy’s Pre-Game Thoughts:

Our final quarterfinal in this season of Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars features Mo Rocca, Mira Sorvino, and Ray Romano, with our winner facing off against Ike Barinholtz and Patton Oswalt in one of our semifinals. While both Mira and Mo have won on the Alex Trebek Stage before, Mo Rocca is certainly the favorite to advance—in fact, Mo is 11-for-11 lifetime in getting Daily Doubles correct. If he does make it through, I can not wait to see the fireworks that will ensue in a game with Mo, Ike, and Patton.

The competition as a whole ends next week; semifinals will be airing Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with the final taking place next Friday.
