A lot of excitement here on the Jeopardy! stage because of our upcoming All-Star games just two days away from now. Eighteen former Jeopardy! champions coming back to play for a $1 million prize. And they're going to be competing as teammates. And there's a lot of excitement among our viewers as well because of the fantasy teams you have selected. Something to look forward to.

CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Doug Wilham is from Louisville, Kentucky, and he is a well-traveled man except when we're talking about the United States, because until you came to compete on this program, you had not been west of the Mississippi?
Doug: Yes, that's correct. But I have been to Africa, and so that's kinda weird. We had been on a mission trip to Africa in 2001, before September 11, thankfully. And got an opportunity to go experience that, but had not really been traveling any further west than Memphis itself.
Alex: There are a lot of good things out here in the west, you know.
Doug: That's what I hear. Yes, sir.
Alex: Okay.
Alex: Rachel Fabi from Syracuse, New York. A professor of bioethics and health policy?
Rachel: That's right.
Alex: Which means you do what? What do you specialize in?
Rachel: So bioethics is the ethics of health and science, and I specialize in the ethics of health policy specifically.
Alex: Good for you. All right.
Alex: Amanda Holm is our champion. She is from Livonia, Michigan. She's a project manager and a war bride?
Amanda: Yeah. When my husband, George, and I had only been dating for a few months, he was called up from the Army reserve to go to Iraq for most of 2009. And so even though it was a little early as things go, we kinda decided to take the plunge and got married about a month before he shipped out.
Alex: Well, let him know that we thank him for his service.
