Warning: This page may contain spoilers for the October 4, 2023 game of Celebrity Jeopardy!, especially for those of you in the Pacific time zone—please do not scroll down if you wish to avoid being spoiled.
Today’s Celebrity Jeopardy! contestants:
Timothy Simons, an actor originally from Readfield, Maine, playing for Friends of LAHSA
Lisa Ann Walter, an actor & stand-up comedian originally from Washington, D.C., playing for the Entertainment Community Fund
Brian Baumgartner, an actor & podcast host originally from Atlanta, Georgia, playing for the Motion Picture Television Fund
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Last week, Utkarsh Ambudkar picked up 37 correct (including Final Jeopardy) and found himself advancing to the first semifinal of this season’s Celebrity Jeopardy! competition. Tonight, one of Timothy Simons (Jonah on Veep), Lisa Ann Walter (Melissa on Abbott Elementary), and Brian Baumgartner (Kevin on The Office) will be joining him.
Like last week, none of these three players have any Jeopardy! experience, so it might be a little bit difficult to predict matters. I think that it’ll be a fun hour, regardless!

Andy’s Thoughts:

- Tim’s confusion as to what “True Daily Double” meant will certainly make it into my Questionist recap this weekend.
