Here are today's contestants:
- Amy, an academic copy editor, is "Marian the Barbarian" in roller derby (brings to mind how Alex would get excited any time a contestant was involved with roller derby);
- Susan, an employment attorney, had Jeopardy! help her get through being stuck at home; and
- Matt, a bar owner, realized his dreams of winning on Jeopardy! and making a hole-on-one. Matt is a one-day champ with winnings of $8,900.
