On Wednesday, April 2, the popular television show Celebrity Jeopardy! is set to air its next round, where celebrities will compete in the semifinals with a chance to secure $1 million for their chosen charities. Hosted by Ken Jennings, this edition of Jeopardy! features contestants who have revealed some insights into their game strategies before the competition resumes. These revelations come as part of an exclusive featurette aired on Hulu's spinoff series, offering fans a sneak peek into what might give these players an edge.
In preparation for the high-stakes challenge, W. Kamau Bell, competing for DonorsChoose, attributes his past success to mastering the buzzer system. Similarly, Robin Thede, playing for Women in Film, credits her agility with the buzzer for her previous victories. Meanwhile, Roy Wood Jr., who is representing I See Me Inc., takes a more relaxed approach, emphasizing the importance of a good night's sleep and a hearty breakfast over rigorous study sessions.
For journalist Mina Kimes, supporting the SELAH Neighborhood Homeless Coalition, a bit of research goes a long way. She mentions brushing up on specific subjects to enhance her chances. Actor Sean Gunn, advocating for Women for Women International, identifies his strengths in pop culture trivia from the '80s and '90s, which he believes could be pivotal during the semifinals.
The semifinal lineup consists of three episodes. The first pits Bell against Margaret Cho and Jackie Tohn, followed by Roy Wood Jr., Robin Thede, and Natalie Morales in the second episode. The third and final semifinal episode features Gunn, Kimes, and David Friedberg.
As anticipation builds, viewers eagerly await how these diverse strategies will play out when the semifinals commence on ABC this Wednesday at 9/8c.
