In the latest episode, San Francisco's own Margaret Cho left "Celebrity Jeopardy!" viewers in awe with her strategic victories and sizable earnings. Facing against Rachel Brosnahan and Seth Green, Cho displayed her trivia chops right from the get-go, ending the first round with a lead and $3,500 in the bank, as detailed by the SF Chronicle. Cho's prowess truly shined during Triple Jeopardy, where she successfully doubled down on two True Daily Doubles, catapulting her to a $54,100 win for her chosen charity, Friendly House.
Despite a relatively balanced start to the game with Cho, Green, and Brosnahan all on the board after the first round, the tides changed swiftly, with Seth Green falling behind after a missed Daily Double opportunity in Double Jeopardy, which was reported by TV Insider. By Triple Jeopardy, it was Cho's game to lose, the comedian confirming her dominance with a final stash that dwarfed Brosnahan's $7,000 and Green's $2,800 by tens of thousands of dollars.
Ken Jennings, former "Jeopardy!" champion and current host of the celebrity version, led the contestants through the final round, where the final clue mentioned voiceover legend Don LaFontaine and his iconic phrase. Cho and Green's correct response assured their strong finishes, Cho with her staggering total and Green at $5,550, as "In A World" echoed through the studio. "Celebrity Jeopardy!" fans took their excitement online, with one Reddit user exclaiming, as per TV Insider, "That second daily double from Margaret was wild," amidst a flurry of admiration for Cho's performance.
The Instagram account for the show, Celebrity Jeopardy!, kept the buzz going, enthusiastically sharing their excitement over Cho's Daily Double victories, which viewers can now watch on Hulu. Cho, whose humor and intelligence grabbed the spotlight, will continue her run in the semi-finals, possibly seeing a showdown with fellow Bay Area resident W. Kamau Bell, who won his game earlier in the season. For proud Bay Area viewers, the semifinals could not come soon enough, offering a chance for local bragging rights and, hopefully, another slice of victory for Friendly House, provided by Cho's enviable trivia talent.
