Celebrity Jeopardy! Final Jeopardy January 2 clue
The Final Jeopardy category for the first semifinal was Award-Winning Actresses. Here's the clue that the contestants were given:
Her 2019 Oscar win and 2021 Emmy win were both for portraying a British queen.
In this first semifinal, it was a tight matchup between Mira Sorvino, who had $16,100, and Lisa Ann Walter, who led with $17,000. But, with Both Sorvino and Walter needing to make decent wagers to try and win, Utkarsh Ambudkar was not out of the game just yet.
Before we reveal the answer, see if you can get the correct answer.
And the answer is...
Who is Olivia Colman?
Colman won her Oscar for 2019's The Favourite as Queen Anne and then the Emmy for The Crown, where she played Queen Elizabeth.
Ambudkar gave himself a chance to win with correctly answering Colman and wagering it all to get him just $200 off of Walter's $17,000 score. Things got more promising for him when Mira Sorvino incorrectly guessed Helen Mirren (though she did win an Oscar for playing Queen Elizabeth in The Queen) and dropped to $0 after betting it all. But it was all moot, as Walter correctly answered Colman, ensuring her a spot in the final.
New episodes of Celebrity Jeopardy! season 2 air Tuesdays on ABC at 8 pm ET/PT. Then are they available to stream on Hulu.
