Celebrity Jeopardy!‘s run continues on ABC and the November 15 episode is sure to be a wild one as the Quarterfinal game pits Macaulay Culkin, Rachel Dratch, and Becky Lynch against one another.
Set to compete under host Ken Jennings‘ direction, the celebrities will aim to win big for charities of their choosing and for a spot in future games as the season’s competition carries on.
As viewers will know, Culkin is best known for playing Kevin McCallister in the beloved holiday franchise Home Alone, while Dratch entertained for years on Saturday Night Live with characters like Debbie Downer. Meanwhile, Lynch is a little more on the athletic side of celebrity as a WWE wrestler. Who can break into the semifinals? It’s anyone’s guess.
