07:52Thanks for playing with us tonight.
07:54Coming up next, the pursuit continues as Catherine and Ariana go head-to-head.
07:59The chance to move on and play for $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
08:17Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
08:19Catherine and Ariana have made it here to the next round, so let's get to know them a little bit
08:24better.
08:25Catherine, our champion, you are a history instructor.
08:29Teaching is your passion?
08:30I absolutely adore it.
08:32I get paid to do what I love to do, which is talk to people about history.
08:36They say if you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life.
08:41Absolutely.
08:43And, Ariana, you also teach.
08:46I do. Happy to be joined here by my sister in letters.
08:49And what is your subject of expertise?
08:51Yes, I am an English and creative writing professor.
08:54Wow.
08:54And I teach at Spelman College, which is a historically black college for women.
08:59My mother was also an English teacher, and she too went to an historically black college.
09:07Wow. Which one?
09:08She went to Philander Smith.
09:09That's awesome. I feel in good company.
09:11Yes, you are. You both are.
09:13The best of luck to both of you. Let's get back to our game.
09:16In this round, ladies, you'll be answering multiple choice questions, working your way through the categories once again.
09:24But this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
09:32Now, you both have selected the order of the categories that you'll be playing, and you picked one category that
09:38you did not want to play at all.
09:41Catherine, I see that you have elected not to play sports and leisure, and your go-to category for 1
09:47,000 points is history.
09:50If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
09:52If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
09:53And Ariana, I see that you have reversed the trend here. You have opted not to play history, and sports
10:01and leisure is your 1,000-point category.
10:05I mostly learned history in school to pass tests and then brain-dumped a lot of the info.
10:10Mm-hmm.
10:10And my mom is a huge sports fan, keeps up with everything. It's kind of always been our shared hobby.
10:17So I'm hoping to get a question that I would have learned in our time together.
10:21We'll see if that works out for you.
10:24Whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round will be moving on to the
10:28final pursuit to play for $20,000.
10:32Let the pursuit begin.
10:37Ariana, you are trailing by 200 points, so you will be going first.
10:42Here, then, is your 200-point multiple-choice question in geography.
10:48Which location marked the end of the famed Oregon Trail? Was it Eugene, Oregon City, or Portland?
10:58I'm not entirely sure about this answer, which makes me happy I put geography at the bottom.
11:05I feel like it's between Eugene and Portland, because Oregon City seems more contemporary.
11:17And my best instincts are telling me to choose Eugene.
11:24Ariana, let's see if you're right.
11:28Oregon City.
11:30Mm-hmm.
11:31Okay, Kathryn, for 200 points, here is your multiple-choice question in the category Entertainment.
11:38In 1977, Janet Jackson joined the cast of which Norman Lear sitcom?
11:45Was that All in the Family, Good Times, or The Jeffersons?
11:50Well, I'm kind of feeling some sympathy with Ariana right now, because I'm not sure about this one.
11:57I recognize all of these, but I have not watched any of them.
12:01Uh, so I'm gonna go with my best guess of The Jeffersons.
12:06Kathryn, let's see if you're right.
12:10It was Good Times.
12:12She came in and joined the cast as a character named Penny.
12:14No harm, no foul.
12:16The scores have not changed.
12:18Ariana, here is your chance to move ahead with a 400-point question in the art and literature.
12:27Released as a movie in 1899, which classic fairy tale is often considered the first book-to-film adaptation in
12:36cinema history?
12:38Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, or Jack and the Beanstalk?
12:43Okay.
12:45I'm less certain of this, too.
12:48My leaning is towards Cinderella, because it feels like the oldest answer.
12:56And I think it might be the easiest to adapt of these three.
13:02So I'm gonna go with Cinderella.
13:05Let's see if you're right.
13:09Indeed, it was a silent film, only six minutes long.
13:13Wow.
13:14Kathryn, you are 200 points behind Ariana.
13:18However, here is a 400-point question for you in the category art and literature.
13:24In photography, which term refers to the quality of an out-of-focus background resulting in circles of light?
13:33Bokeh, moiré, or posterization?
13:38Well, I'm not a photography aficionado, but there was a word that was in my brain before those choices came
13:47up, and then it showed up, and that was Bokeh.
13:51So I will go with my gut on this one and go with Bokeh.
13:57Let's see if you're right.
14:00Indeed, you are comes from a Japanese word meaning blur or haze.
14:05Ariana, coming to you, here is your 600-point question.
14:11In science and nature, what is the name of the vestigial toe found on the inside of a dog's leg?
14:18Dewclaw, nipper, or talon?
14:21So I've never had any pet other than a fish because my mom's pretty afraid of animals.
14:30However, I used to watch a lot of Animal Planet, and I feel like birds have talons.
14:37Nipper doesn't sound right, so I'm going to go with Dewclaw.
14:44Let's see if you're right.
14:49Katherine, she's taking a lead.
14:51Here is a 600-point question in the category science and nature.
14:57In the 1940s, a species of which animal was used as a highly accurate human pregnancy test?
15:05Is it a fish, a frog, or a snake?
15:10All right, I'm glad we don't have to do this anymore.
15:15I'm thinking I have heard of this, and I am fairly sure that the one that makes the most sense
15:23of these to me is the frog.
15:26So I will lock in frog.
15:28Let's see if you're right.
15:32Right you are.
15:33Ariana, 200 points separate the two of you.
15:37Here is your 800-point question in the category entertainment.
15:43Which of these 1980s synth pop groups hail from Norway?
15:49A flock of seagulls?
15:51Aha!
15:52Or the human lead?
15:54Right, so unfortunately this question is in an era from before I was born.
16:01So I am essentially just guessing here.
16:04My gut is telling me to go with a flock of seagulls.
16:12Let's see if you're right.
16:14Ooh, aha.
16:17Katherine, this is an opportunity for you to blow this thing wide open.
16:21Here then is a question for 800 points.
16:26The category is geography.
16:28The United Arab Emirates is a federation of how many individual emirates?
16:35Seven, 11, or 15?
16:38I am not sure on this one.
16:41But I had a number in my head and it came up.
16:45So I am going to go with seven.
16:48Katherine, let's see if you're right.
16:53Right you are.
16:55Ariana, 1,000 points separate you.
16:57And if you don't get this question right, Katherine will move on to the final pursuit to play for the
17:03$20,000.
17:04Because you won't be able to catch it.
17:05So this is critically important.
17:07It's why you chose this category in the final position.
17:10Here is your 1,000 point question in sports and leisure.
17:16Of the 32 NFL teams, which was the most recent addition to the league?
17:23The Carolina Panthers, Houston Texans, or Jacksonville Jaguars?
17:30Okay.
17:32I'm fairly certain it's not the Texans.
17:35Because I think they used to be the Oilers.
17:38It's 50-50.
17:40I'm going to go with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
17:45If you're right, you're still in the game.
17:52It's the Texans.
17:53That means congratulations, Katherine.
17:57You are moving on again.
17:59Ariana, thank you for playing with us.
18:03Katherine, would you care to join me at center stage?
18:07Well done.
18:08When we come back, we'll see if Katherine can once again conquer all six categories in the final pursuit for
18:15$20,000 right here on Trigna Pursuit.
18:28Welcome back.
18:29I'm here with Katherine, who has made it back here to the final pursuit for another chance to win $20
18:36,000.
18:38Whoo!
18:40So this is your third time here.
18:43How are you feeling?
18:44A little shaky, but hopefully third time's the charm.
18:47Mm-hmm.
18:48So hopefully I can recapture the magic of that first game.
18:52Well, Katherine, all that stands between you and another $20,000 are the six Trivial Pursuit categories.
19:00You will have 45 seconds, you will earn $1,000 for each correct answer, and if you answer all six
19:06questions correctly, you will win another $20,000.
19:14So, Katherine, to help with your pursuit, I want you to choose the first category in this round.
19:20I will go with blue geography.
19:22Geography. Changing it up a little bit.
19:24I'm good at geography, too.
19:25Okay.
19:26If you get any incorrect, Katherine, you can always circle back to those so long as there is time remaining
19:32on the clock.
19:33Okay.
19:34It's time for your final pursuit.
19:36Let's put 45 seconds on the clock, please.
19:42The time will start when I finish reading the first question.

28:30You will be moving on.
28:32And Monique, it was great having you here.
28:34Thank you for playing our game with us tonight.
28:37Coming up next, the pursuit continues as Chris and Catherine go head-to-head for an opportunity
28:42to move on to play for $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
28:58Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit, y'all.
29:01Catherine and Chris have made it here to the next round.
29:04So let's get to know them a little bit better.
29:07Catherine, did you have any idea that you would get here this many times?
29:12None at all.
29:13I just hoped I would come, get to meet you, and have a great time, and maybe get a chance
29:17to shout out my nieces and nephews on TV.
29:20And so hi, Isaac and Emily and Caroline and Elliot and Lillian.
29:24So you're ready to go home now?
29:26Not ready, but I do have to be back at class in a couple days.
29:31So my students miss me.
29:34I'm sure they do.
29:35Maybe.
29:35I know.
29:35I'm sure your students do miss you.
29:37Chris, you're a pickleball coach.
29:40Yes, sir.
29:40How did that happen?
29:41I've been playing pickleball for about eight years.
29:44No.
29:44Nobody's been playing pickleball for eight years.
29:47The sport's 60 years old.
29:48A lot of people don't know how old it is, but it's...
29:51So what happened?
29:52Why did it suddenly blow up?
29:53A lot of people think it's because of COVID.
29:55They needed something that was social, where you could distance yourself a little bit from
29:58person to person, and it's just grown like wildfire for the last few years.
30:01It really has.
30:01I have yet to take the plunge, but...
30:03Let me know if you'd like a lesson any time.
30:05Very good.
30:06All right, y'all.
30:06The best of luck to both of you.
30:08Let's get back to the game.
30:13Now, in this round, you're going to be answering multiple choice questions, working your way
30:17through the categories once again.
30:19But this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
30:26You both have selected the order of the categories that you'll be playing, and you've picked one
30:31category that you don't want to see come up in this round at all.
30:35And Kathryn, once again, I see that you have selected sports and leisure as your not-to-play
30:42category, and history is your 1,000-point choice.
30:47Let's see if the fourth time's a charm.
30:49All right.
30:49And Chris, I see that you have opted not to play art and literature, and your 1,000-point
30:56category is sports and leisure.
30:58Talk me through your strategy here.
31:00I was very nervous about telling the iconic host of Reading Rainbow that I'm not much of
31:03a reader.
31:04But I don't have enough time to read, so I wanted to skip arts and literature.
31:09You're going to need to cut some time on the pickleball court and get into a book, my friend.
31:14All right.
31:14Whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round, we'll move on to the
31:19final pursuit to play for $20,000.
31:23Are you both ready?
31:24I'm ready.
31:25Let's do it.
31:26Let the pursuit begin.
31:30Now, Chris, you were the first player to earn your third wedge, which means, Catherine,
31:34you'll be going first.
31:36All right?
31:37For 200 points, Catherine, in the category Entertainment.
31:42In 1983, who was the first black performer to win a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his
31:48role in An Officer and a Gentleman?
31:51Was it James Earl Jones, Louis Gossett Jr., or Paul Winfield?
31:56Well, I know who was the first black performer to win any Oscar, but he's not up here.
32:02But the name is sticking out to me for some reason.
32:04I don't know if it's for a good reason or not, is Louis Gossett Jr.
32:10Let's see if you're right.
32:12Louis Gossett Jr., the famous fight scene.
32:15Not famous or not.
32:16Apparently, they're not for me.
32:18Chris, you know that scene, yeah?
32:19I got nowhere else to go.
32:23All right, Chris, coming to you for 200 points, sir.
32:26Here is your question in geography.
32:30Which European country's national anthem has no official lyrics?
32:36Germany, Poland, or Spain?
32:39I should pay a lot more attention during the Olympics when I watch.
32:42I'll have to make that a note.
32:44I feel like Spain would probably have a word or two to say.
32:50I'm gonna go out on a limb and try Germany.
32:56Let's see if you're right.
32:59It was indeed Spain.
33:02Well, Katherine, here is your 400-point question.
33:06The category, Art and Literature.
33:09David Alfaro Sequeiros,
33:12Jose Clement Orozco,
33:14and who else were the leaders of the Mexican muralism movement?
33:19Carlos Mereda, Diego Rivera,
33:22or Francisco Toledo?
33:24Well, I'm glad you didn't ask for one of the other ones,
33:28because there's one name I know when you talk about a Mexican muralist,
33:33and that name is Diego Rivera.
33:35So hopefully I am correct with going with Diego Rivera.
33:41Let's see if you're right.
33:44Right you are. Diego Rivera is the answer.
33:47Coming to you, Chris, she's doubled your score.
33:51Here then, sir, is your 400-point question.
33:54The category of history.
33:57Who was both the youngest first lady and the only president's bride
34:02to hold her wedding in the White House?
34:05Elizabeth Monroe,
34:07Frances Cleveland,
34:09or Grace Coolidge?
34:11Ooh, this is a tough one.
34:14Frances Cleveland is sticking out to me.
34:17I'm going to say Frances Cleveland.
34:21Chris, we're going to see if you're right.
34:25You're right.
34:26You guys are going back and forth here, Kathryn.
34:28You have a 200-point lead on Chris at present.
34:31Here is your 600-point question.
34:34Science and nature is the category.
34:36What is the term for a group of penguins walking on land?
34:41Is it shuffle, totter, or waddle?
34:46Well, if you watch penguins walk, it's hilarious.
34:50And they sort of shuffle, but they more waddle.
34:54And I think I have heard this before
34:57and chuckled because it is so apt.
35:00I will say waddle.
35:02Let's see if you're right.
35:06Waddle it is.
35:07Chris, 800 points to separate the two of you.
35:10Here, sir, is your 600-point question.
35:13The category, science and nature.
35:16Which line of computers gained national fame
35:19for correctly predicting
35:21Dwight D. Eisenhower's presidential victory in 1952?
35:26Was it ATLAS, IBM, or UNIVAC?
35:31IBM, I think, came a little bit later on.
35:36I think that some of these would be acronym-based,
35:41which UNIVAC sounds like it might be.
35:45I'm gonna say UNIVAC.
35:51Chris, let's see if you're right.
35:55UNIVAC, it is.
35:57Catherine, back to you.
35:59Here is your 800-point question.
36:03The category is geography.
36:05Gallaudet University, the world's only university designed
36:09for deaf and hard of hearing students,
36:12is located in which city?
36:14Is it Melbourne, Toronto, or Washington, D.C.?
36:20Well, I have had a phase when I was younger
36:25where I went through trying to learn sign language,
36:27and I learned about Gallaudet University,
36:30and I know that it's an American school
36:33and that it is in Washington, D.C.
36:36Sounds like you know it.
36:39Right you are, Washington, D.C.
36:41Well done.
36:43Again, Chris, 1,000 points separates the two of you.
36:47Here, sir, is your 800-point question.
36:52The category is entertainment.
36:54For decades, Hollywood directors used which pseudonym
36:58when they wanted their name removed from a film?
37:02Is it Alan Smithy, Douglas Farr, or Joseph Bellow?
37:08I watch a lot of movies,
37:09and I watch a lot of TV shows as well.
37:13I'm not quite familiar with why this happens,
37:16but the one name that jumps out to me
37:19is Alan Smithy for some reason.
37:24I think I'm going to make that my final answer.
37:28Alan Smithy.
37:30Let's see if you're right.
37:34Alan Smithy, it is.
37:37Catherine, this is for the win,
37:40because Chris won't be able to catch up to you.
37:43This is the category, history.
37:45You've put this question in this position
37:48for moments just like this.
37:51No pressure, no pressure.
37:52For 1,000 points and the win.
37:57Complete this inscription on the Statue of Liberty.
38:01Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses,
38:05yearning to break free, breathe free, or live free.
38:12It's a wonderful poem.
38:15Emma Lazarus, your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free.
38:20Locking that in.
38:21Said with confidence.
38:25You can breathe a sigh of relief.
38:27You are going back to the final round to play for $20,000 once again.
38:34Chris, you gave her everything you had,
38:37and it was great having you with us.
38:38You're a terrific player, sir.
38:40Thank you very much.
38:40Very nice to meet you, sir.
38:41I'll see you on the pickleball court, all right?
38:43Any time.
38:44Catherine, would you like to join me at the center of the stage?
38:48Woo!
38:49How about that?
38:50When we come back, we'll see if Catherine can conquer all six categories
38:54in the final pursuit for $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
39:11Welcome back.
39:12Y'all, I am here with Catherine, who has set a record here on Trivial Pursuit.
39:18Catherine, I don't know if you know this, but you are the first player to make it here
39:22to the final pursuit four consecutive times.
39:26Wow.
39:28Four times in a row.
39:30How does that feel, Catherine?
39:31It feels like a whirlwind.
39:33Yeah?
39:33I can't believe it.
39:35I've had some good luck with guesses,
39:37and I guess all the years of being a history teacher have paid off.
39:40Well, you've been a terrific and graceful champion,
39:44and all that stands between you and another $20,000, Catherine,
39:49are our six Trivial Pursuit categories.
39:53You will have 45 seconds.
39:55You will earn $1,000 for each correct answer,
39:58and if you answer all six questions correctly,
40:00then you will win yet another $20,000.
40:07That sounds good.
40:08So, to help with your pursuit, I want you to select the first category
40:11that you will see in this round.
40:13I will go with Blue Geography.
40:15Okay.
40:16If you get any incorrect, you can always circle back to those categories.
40:19All right.
40:20Catherine, it's time for your final pursuit.
40:22Let's put 45 seconds on the clock, please.
