OPENING REMARKS
Alex: Thank you, Johnny. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome, everyone, to The James Holzhauer Show. I would have said, "Welcome to The Alex and James Show", but he kind of blew me out of the picture last week when he went over a million dollars. Keep in mind, all good things can come to an end, and that's what Jasmine and Adam are hoping for--but not in a nasty way--today. Let's see how things work out. Here we go. Jeopardy! Round. And today, we get to deal with these categories...

CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Adam Levin is from Massachusetts, and he admits to being part of the worst a capella group of all time. Really?
Adam: It's true. Part of my college sketch comedy troupe--shout-out to Boris' Kitchen--we decided to parody a popular a capella group on campus at the time. And I decided because I have zero singing talent that it would be perfect for me. And we did some elaborate choreography but only sang one note. We were the Monotones.
Alex: The Monotones. Not as good as the Temptations.
Adam: Definitely we were not.
Alex: All right.
Alex: Jasmine Leonas is from Chicago, Illinois. A social media specialist. Podcasts.
Jasmine: Yes. Yes.
Alex: Podcasts are very popular these days.
Jasmine: Yes.
Alex: You have one. Tell me about it.
Jasmine: I do. So I host a podcast with a friend of mine, and we talk about plants in movies, TV shows. Treat them kind of as their own characters, and the science behind them and what the real story is.
Alex: It's like playing a game as a child, isn't it?
Jasmine: Yeah, it's really fun. Really, really fun.
Alex: Okay. Good for you.
Alex: James Holzhauer is our champion. I have noticed that in two of the matches, you worked things out so that you would wind up with a total of $90,812 as your winning total. That was not a coincidence.
James: No. On September 8, 2012, I got married. Still living with the consequences of that decision to this day.
[Laughter]
Alex: Whoa, wait a minute. Is your wife in the audience today?
James: No, she's not. I can say whatever I want.
Alex: Okay.
