Today’s Celebrity Jeopardy! contestants:
Hasan Minhaj, an actor from “The Morning Show” and a comedian, playing for the International Rescue Committee
Wil Wheaton, an actor from “Stand by Me” and “Star Trek: The Next Generation”, playing for the National Women’s Law Center
Troian Bellisario, an actor from “Pretty Little Liars” and “Where’d you Go, Bernadette”, playing for War Child
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
After last week’s fireworks, we have Hasan Minhaj, Wil Wheaton, and Troian Bellisario competing tonight for the right to join John Michael Higgins in the semi-finals on November 13! Unlike last week, though, none of today’s contestants have any Celebrity Jeopardy! experience.
On a more personal note, I’d like to thank everyone for their support of the Fall 2022 Gamers vs. MS 168-hour charity Twitch relay. Over the past week, nearly $14,000 was raised for the MS Society of Canada—did you know that 1 in 385 Canadians live with multiple sclerosis? You can also find more information about Gamers vs. MS specifically at gamersvsms.ca.
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.
