Today’s Celebrity Jeopardy! contestants:

Melissa Rauch, an actor from “The Big Bang Theory” and “Night Court”, playing for Oscar’s Kids

Joel Kim Booster, an actor from “Fire Island” and a comedian, playing for Selah Neighborhood Homeless Coalition

Ray Romano, an actor from “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “The Irishman”, playing for Harvest Home

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Tonight on Celebrity Jeopardy!, one of Melissa Rauch, Joel Kim Booster, and Ray Romano will be joining John Michael Higgins and Wil Wheaton in next week’s semifinal. (In case you’re wondering about one of Melissa Rauch’s credits, a rebooted Night Court is coming to NBC later this season.)

Also, after last week’s game, I would like to make one thing abundantly clear: The fans who criticized Hasan Minhaj last week deserve every single last word of Hasan’s apology on Jimmy Fallon. Celebrity Jeopardy! has been exactly like this for the past 30 years, and Hasan’s performance was 100% not out of the ordinary. Jeopardy! “fans” are completely out of line here and need to learn how to react better.

PSA: The best way to keep COVID-19 at bay (and keep Jeopardy! producing new episodes) is for everybody to get their vaccinations as soon as they can, including any boosters as recommended. When wearing a mask, please ensure that your mask covers both your nose and your mouth.

Final Jeopardy category: Brands

Final Jeopardy! clue: With wood becoming more difficult to source, this company turned to plastic for its automatic binding bricks, introduced in 1949

We have many new offerings at The Jeopardy! Fan Online Store! Proceeds from the sale of the “Doctor Oz’s Fast-Acting Snake Oil Elixir” T-shirt are being donated to The Trevor Project:

In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.

Correct response: What is LEGO?

Game Recap:

Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Fire Island; Big ____; Ready For My Nude Scene; Bernie & Bernadette; All About Alliterative Book Characters; Everybody Loves Rain, Man)

Joel got off to the best start, doing better on the high-valued clues, to take a small lead; Melissa Rauch struggled on the signaling device early. Coming out of the break, Joel continued his strong play, but took some ribbing from Ray on a very conservative Daily Double bet.

Statistics after 15 clues:

Joel 6 correct 1 incorrect
Ray 6 correct 1 incorrect
Melissa 2 correct 0 incorrect

Statistics after the Jeopardy round:

Joel 12 correct 1 incorrect
Ray 10 correct 1 incorrect
Melissa 5 correct 0 incorrect

Double Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Lost In Exploration; Books & Authors; Human Anatomy & Physiology; Sitcoms; Fun With Flags; Starts With 2 Vowels)

In a game where even Mayim commented that the players were “all business”, Joel continued his strong play at the bottom of the board, his second incorrect response of “Gotham” notwithstanding. Melissa missed the round’s first Daily Double, while the second got to wait until after the break. Ray found that one and fell back $1,500, while Joel continued his strong play.

Statistics after 45 clues:

Joel 18 correct 2 incorrect
Melissa 8 correct 1 incorrect
Ray 12 correct 1 incorrect

Statistics after Double Jeopardy:

Joel 23 correct 3 incorrect
Ray 18 correct 2 incorrect
Melissa 8 correct 1 incorrect

Triple Jeopardy! Round:

(Categories: Ballet & Opera; Facts About Countries; History In Comedy; Politics; Dog-Gone Words; Johnny Gilbert Says The No. 1 Hits)

Joel’s preparation was very much paying off; he extended his lead! Ray made a last-gasp attempt with a late Daily Double, but an incorrect response cemented a runaway for Joel! Scores going into Final were Joel at $18,600, with Ray at $3,300 and Melissa at $3,300.

Statistics after Triple Jeopardy:

Joel 33 correct 4 incorrect
Ray 21 correct 4 incorrect
Melissa 12 correct 3 incorrect

Andy’s Thoughts:

• I hope the sticks in the mud who were complaining the last six weeks are happy. Because the show you got tonight is the show you get with subdued celebrities.

• Today’s box score: November 6, 2022 Celebrity Jeopardy! Box Score.

Today’s interviews:

Melissa is playing for Oscar’s Kids.
Joel is playing for Selah Neighborhood Homeless Coalition.
Ray is playing for Harvest Home.

Today’s interviews, part 2:

Melissa was always the shy kid during Classroom Jeopardy.
Joel is close friends with two former contestants, including Louis Virtel.
Ray loves the show and plays it by pausing the DVR. (Like my father.)

Final Jeopardy! wagering suggestions:

(Scores: Joel $18,600 Ray $3,300 Melissa $3,300)

Ray: Bet whatever you like. (Actual bet: $3,258)
